It doesn’t matter what “wing” Hitler resided in.

It does to those who wish to associate him with those they disagree with, or to dis-associate themselves from him when their "opponents" seek to make the association...

Hitler was in a “wing” all by himself. Similar to Stalin.

The principal problem with the NSDAP isn't how red or blue they were, but rather how brown they were.

The Democrats and Republicans aren’t exactly “radical.”

They are sort of two sides of the same coin.

They may be both equally evil But to compare Hitler and Stalin would be wrong.

Hitler was what he said he was;A National Socialists A Nazi in slang.

Which meant Hitler was culturally right wing but believed in some government benevolent activity.

Stalin was authoritarian but was left wing politically.Stalin believed without authoritative enforcement Socialism would not work.He felt if given a choice people would choose the decadence of capitalism,so to protect to weak he had to force Socialism on everyone.

Im not defending Stalin but explaining him.

Trotsky wanted a pure marxist utopia but Lenin didn't think that was realistic,so Lenin instituted a certain amount of authoritarianism.Stalin being very paranoid killed people that Lenin would not have killed.

Democrats vocally criticize capitalism, however, rarely (never) do you hear Republicans defend capitalism.

You never listened to a conservative AM radio show.Republicans defend capitalism all the time.Not always defend but promote in a positive context as well.

People often speak of Hitler and Stalin in the same breathe.

What planet do you live on?

Both parties vocally defend capitalism all of the time, and the Republicans vehemently more so, all of the time.

I would call the democrats more under the table secret capitalists.

Like my post said,your right about the Republicans.

I'm a afraid a simple fact check indicates membership to the Nazi party required how "white" you were.

So long as you accepted communism Stalin liked you

If you are one of the 70% of the world's population who are non-white and you liked fascism Hitler would still ask Heinrich Himmler to round you up and exterminate you like a cockroach.

Are you familiar with a famous quote attributed to Beria? It was the reality. No one was safe.
