Not my fight, but I would guess the objection is to labeling Nazis "far right." Worker's parties and Nazis can't be identified with the right the way we mean it in America. Fiscally, they are far left.

OMG, this is such a petty little world.

Communists = Far Left
Nazis = Far Right

Please see the chart:
C=Communists
D=Democrats
R=Republicans
N=Nazis

____________________________________________
C~~~~~~~~~~~~~~D~R~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~N

(I made the chart "red" this is not to equate Communists with "red" states which are Republican which is not to equate them with Nazis.)

This would be the American political chart. Your chart may vary, you may wish to make small points and poke fun at various parties by showing them closer together, so be it. But overall, year in year out, based on most people's understanding of American history and politics, etc. this is a general representation of politics in the US, left, right and center. (I should point out that the political terms "Left" and "Right" are not American but French so they really don't have a traditional American meaning at all. In fact in the House and the Senate the Dems sit on the right and GOP on the left. So actually the Republicans are "Left" and the Dems "Right" at least in the American sense. Which doesn't create any linkage between Democrats and the Nazis except for individuals practicing "Guilt by Association".)

Oy vey!

The Nazis were fiscally far left... Well, I am sure an argument can be made and a graduate thesis will be born.

In Germany from the 1920-1945 the National SOCIALIST WORKERS Party was the Nazi Party, they were the same party. The Worker's Party of the Czech Rep. is the child of the German Nazi Party aka the National SOCIALIST WORKERS Party.

A Worker's Party can be nationalist and socialist and far right and wear brown uniforms and give the fascist salute and displace swastikas and pictures of Adolf Hitler. While there are Worker's parties of the far left they are not part of this discussion except in the case of mistaken identity.
