LEFT WING, " en http://www.opendemocracy.net/nazi_national_socialists_ie_left_wing_0#comment-411939 Nazi thought has its origin in 19th century German philosophy, sharing these roots with Marxism. Nazi thought is indeed a product of the 'Left' and has nothing to do with right-of-center politics. Nor were the Nazis 'fascist'. That term is only applicable to the Italian movement lead by Mussolini and the term 'fascist' is derived from the Latin word 'fasces', the bundle of Birch rods with an axe head buried within which was the symbol of the Senate of Rome.
