You've definitively solved the issue of the political orientation of Nazism by merely noting the word "Socialism" in its title, just like a stereotypical American conservative does, without even the need to know anything about Otto and Gregor Strasser or how the left wing faction of the Nazi party was defeated, expunged and purged.
I was responding to the claim I quoted. If you're going to intentionally misinterpret anything I write, I don't see what the point of continuing this discussion.
The claim you quoted said "left-wing", it didn't say "Socialist".
And the parts that you didn't quote mentioned that fascism did sometimes describe as a mixture of both left-wing and right-wing ideas, just like "National Socialism" included the word "National" to appeal to right-wing nationalists, and "Socialism" to appeal to left-wingers.
If you want to make a rebuttal to my actual claim, find a place where Nazism or Fascism describes itself as "left-wing" -- just left-wing, not "a response to both left and right" or "a synthesis of both left and right", or indeed "National Socialist".
Nationalism is not limited to the right. Depending the time and place nationalism can be either right or left wing.
