yeah, well, there are certain resemblances at the far right and the far left e.g. they both get rather authoritarian. nazis are generally considered far right because they bear more basic ideological resemblance to the right wing, mostly in how they structure their politics of identity. at the extreme left, the identity is with the party in the sense of certain ideological values/goals that define who is on the right team and who isn't which often transcend national/ethnic boundaries (at least in theory). so moderate left-wingers often carry on about diversity and inclusiveness. at the extreme right, identity is more about a certain national/ethnic identity - so we see germans looking toward racial purity, and then we see their more mainstream right wing cousins here at OTC bitching about immigrants, muslims, gays, whomever isn't just like them, incessantly. left wing is often "internationalist" in orientation; "internationalist" is the greatest fear of the far right e.g. right wing grumblings about internationalist, jewish conspiracies. think about "workers of the world unite" vs. all the shit about the motherland the nazis babbled e.g. das mutterreich.
