Why was Naziism right-wing?

by libmarxist

There never seems to be any detailed, specific posts or links as to why, specifically, the Nazis were on the right of the political spectrum, and why they were not socialists, or followers of Keynesianism. The main justification I see frequently is "the Nazis killed socialists and communists." I don't think it's a good rebuttal. There are many communists who I know despise Trotsky, and his followers, and it's common knowledge that Hitler killed many potential threats, even those who shared his personal ideology of national socialism. I'm sure many wouldn't henceforth contest that those who ordered the killings of communists/socialists/anarchists weren't any of those things and was at the opposite end of the political spectrum, the same as how Hitler killed many of the members of his own party and those who shared his ideology to consolidate power.

I would really appreciate a detailed description, or a link as such, that describes precisely why Hitler, and Naziism is not socialist, with specifics of policy and ideological beliefs; and why they were far-right, or at the very-least on the economic right.

Most of my internal struggles with this stem from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCkyWBPaTC8

I've seen many on reddit, particularly on the "bad history" reddit page, also say that this guy is woefully uneducated about Naziism as an ideology; but they don't really say in specific terms why? Any help on this end is appreciated! I tried asking this on r/communism but they banned me lol

Here /u/kieslowskifan talks about why it's so hard to label Nazism as something. There is also an entire section of the FAQ with answers you should find informative. That should tide you over until someone arrives with an answer that answers your questions more specifically.
