I�m betting you�re neither Nazi or Communist, Nazi being right wing and Communist being Left wing.
Kevin, what you're describing there is the false substitute for the left-right continuum that was imposed by leftist academia following WWII. Prior to that, all understood (going back to post-revolutionary France, where the concept originated) that
left wing denotes the position which favors concentrated state power and an intrusive and unlimited government while
right wing denotes the position which favors decentralized state power and strictly limited, non-intrusive, government.
The false substitute to which you allude makes the scale completely meaningless and thus of no use, and that on purpose.
After WWII, leftist intellectuals became concerned about the many examples of the prewar victories of leftism in governments transforming societies into virtual despotic hell holes, to include both the Nazis and the Communists. In order to nullify the damage they feared this would do to their cause, they created and imposed, from their remaining base of power within academia, the false left-right continuum you describe, i.e., the one that nonsensically places Nazi Germany on the far right and the Soviet Union on the far left, whereas in actuality they are both properly positioned on the far left, being two examples of centrally consolidated states with intrusive and unlimited governments.
