Not every thing in wilipedia is true. It is monitored and anyone can post to it.
National Socialist was the name of the party. I do not know how anyone can say it was not socialist. Yes Germany was eventually at war with Russia and Hitler used hatred of communism as a way to raise money. They were both totalitarian regimes that controlled the economy. Their methods were some what different. To try and pass off the Nazis as being on the right is to engage in orwellian newspeak. If you carried the right wing to its ultimate extreme, it would be anarchy, not totalitarian government. That is where the extremes of socialism end up.

There was next to no deference between the National Socialism of Germany and the Communism of Russia. Hitler played on the hatred of communism in order to get the support of money interests. You can find this on a google search. Again we should all deplore the rise of hate crimes no matter where it comes from and that is not exclusively from the right.
