I always wondered how Hitler and fascism were labelled right wing. I always heard it said but never explained. Until now, and the mental gymnastics are hilarious. It isn't until you ponder why liberal academics would be so motivated to classify Hitler as far right that you can deduce the answer. Liberals did not want to have Hitler associated with the Left Wing, not because he was a genocidal killer, which didn't stop them from adoring Stalin, but because Hitler was a racist. Communists had class obsession, which was okay, and Hitler had race obsession, which was not okay with the left.

And so liberal academia decided to change Hitler and fascism into right wingers and thereby blame the right for racism. Give it enough time and I bet they blame slavery on the republican party. Just wait.

The glaring problem with trying to remake Hitler and Fascism right wing is that fascism is a totalitarian system with total state control and no individual liberty.
and that's the very opposite of anything right wing and no amount of mental gymnastics can change that. I'll give the author credit for trying, though. It just made him look dishonest, but that ship sailed on page 1.

PS. At some point it will come to liberal academia that both Adolf Hitler and Pol Pot were huge admirers and supporters of Social Justice, which is a craze among "woke" liberals who can't seem to grasp that Social Justice is just another name for a lynch-mob. If these liberal academics do get wind of this, I'm sure they'll change Social Justice into a right wing phenomenon.

Please share this story the next time you hear someone say that Hitler was far fight. We can't let our dishonest academics get away with lying to us just to escape the association of one of the world's worst monsters with their own political side.
