I mean, that is how you want to classify things, sure. To me there's an extreme difference between a National Socialist and a Marxism though even if you might consider them equivalent given your scale. I also think there's a huge difference between liberaltarians that are racist and sexist compared to libertarians that are egalitarian.
"National" socialists are little different from the rest of the leftists. "To me" nah. Objectively. Political scales are not a matter of opinion where any fool can call anything left or right based on their personal relative values. That is yet again leftist word twisting dogma at work.
For any reasonable discourse there must be objective measurements and consistent definitions.
Nationalism does not swing authoritarian leftists right wing. The chicoms are, and soviets were, also nationalist. The german nazis were a hard left authoritarian government. Strong centralized government power and collectivist ideologies are left wing. Nationalism is not an element tied to either wing, it is a relative cultural element that is used to strengthen a nation of any type by intelligent leaders.
You have been fed propaganda your entire life, and fed yet more to be convinced that to reject leftism you should adopt another leftist ideology - that is the goal of the propaganda campaign aimed at convincing people the krauts were right wing. That is objectively false, and it is done to deliberately muddy the waters and allow leftists to pretend that the atrocities of the 20th century weren't directly caused by their ideologies, and to create the false perception that both wings are similar - to make it seem that both can be evil on the same scale. That is why the false "horseshoe theory" doctrine is pushed, to claim extreme right somehow wraps around from people that hate government to a leftist authoritarian collectivist ideology.
It's bullshit. You've been lied to, and when you tried to rebel against the left you were duped by another of their tricks.
