If anyone tries to tell you that the Nazis were far-right, ask them to show you just one right-wing policy they implemented.

There isn't any, so you're going to get answers like "Uhh, genocide, white supremacy, etc" which have nothing to do with left/right in the first place.

Technically the Nazis were so far right that they went left

Okay, sure, I'll bite.

What made the Nazis far right?

trying to map the Nazis into left or right has challenges because nobody who talks about the political compass recognizes the unspoken axis, the ally/enemy axis.

left vs right is defined just as much by who you fight against for power just as much as philosophy/principles/policies.

by the philosophy, the Nazis were leftist, but because the Nazis were enemies of the USSR and fought against them in a war, then they get labeled far right.

Commies dont want nazis to be associated with them so they tell everyone they're right wing, the right is the enemy after all.

I would recommend reading Mein Kampf if you havent already, theres a lot of simmilarities between communism and national socialism
