Can you provide any source on that? There is one key difference between facism (like in italy) and nazism namely facism puts the main focus on the state, while nazism on the race, but that doesn't change the fact the nazism is just a part of facism. This is not even a debate in the academical field. Center-authoriatrian? Are you maybe mixing up a few things? Hitler rose to power with the help of the centrist party, but never was the party considered center....
Which definition should i look up?
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Facism ?
Or maybe Wikipedias article on facism?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism - "In Germany, it contributed to the rise of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, which resulted in the demise of the Weimar Republic, and the establishment of the fascist regime, Nazi Germany,"
Didnt even US soldiers fight against facist regimes in europe?
I mean wow... that's a statement i've never encountered so far...
I don't know how that is supposed to refute anything that I have said. Trying to use multiple sources to try to disprove what I said, isn't actually doing that.
Especially this one:
John T. FlynnEdit
In 1944, American right-winger John T. Flynn wrote a polemical work, As we go marching,[12] aimed against socialist and social democratic tendencies that he saw beginning to subvert capitalism. He characterizes fascism based on an analysis of Mussolini's Italy:
Anti-capitalist, but with capitalist features;
Economic demand management...
...through budget deficits
Direct economic planning, reconciled with partial economic autonomy through corporatism;
Militarism and imperialism;
Suspension of rule of law.
From our good friend George Orwell:
...the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else ... Except for the relatively small number of Fascist sympathisers, almost any English person would accept ‘bully’ as a synonym for ‘Fascist’. That is about as near to a definition as this much-abused word has come.[42]

"No, your side were Nazis"
"No, your guys were the Nazis!"
This is easily the saddest and least productive thing I've seen around here.
Fun fact OP - Nazis were a very specific combination of evil and nasty.
Trump has only demonstrated a single, so far benign form of fascist (Plutocracy) via his cabinet appointments.
That makes Trump a fascist, not a NAZI.

Thinking that the most part about nazism is whether they were left or right-wing is missing the obvious.
The National Socialist (NSDAP) were first and foremost racists, populists, authoritarian, and statists - and their name suggests what they tried to do: combine left and right as they saw it in their own way: nationalism and socialism.
However, many of the original more socialist members (and also anti-fascists) were killed during the night of the long knives.
And populism goes back beyond England - remember Julius Caesar?
They were far right, yes.

So you post a quote to refute something? What? It's not even a good quote. You could say the exact same thing about the word 'communist' in the US in the Cold War. It doesn't have any real relevance to this conversation, because we are talking about the regimes that are literally known for being fascists.
This should go straight in the ''Earth is flat'' category of the wonders that rise up on the internet.

Facism was in the time considered as the third way - next to captialism and communism. That doesn't mean it outside of a spectrum.
Probably though this is the reason why its so hard to pinpoint for some people (by definitions) as our current perception of the spectrum is heavily influenced by the post-WW2 struggle between communism on the one and capitalism on the other side.
For the time nazism was a thing there was no doubt about it being right-wing, as by the 1930s this was still done after the original system of seating order for parties in the original german Reichstag, where nationalists were without a doubt right wing. (The rise of left-wing nationalist is a more recent invention)

Politics is a lot more complicated than "you're either left-wing or right-wing". When Nazism is placed on the right-wing side it's not meant as a slight towards anyone who identifies with the right-wing, it is simply the most accurate position to place Nazism in on the generalized political scale of left and right-wing.
"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Paradox of tolerance
