 * No, the Nazis were anti-conservative in many ways—anti-monarchical, anti-clerical etc. Goebbels and Strasser were both explicit left-wingers. Trakking (talk) 16:06, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * At this point, I know. If it's ok, I'll keep it here until I create a list more along the lines of "pundits" or "radicals"... Biohistorian15 (talk) 16:07, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * "Radical conservatism" is a form of conservatism that has some overlaps with Nazism. See for example Conservative Revolution. But many Nazis were left-leaning/socialist; more "traditionalist" elements include Himmler and, possibly, Rosenberg. Trakking (talk) 16:19, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Hitler was a mix. Sometimes he sounded like a conservative; at other times, for example when he criticized Franco and Francoist Spain, he sounded like a typical socialist. (Nazism is a syncretic and eccentric ideology…) Trakking (talk) 16:21, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
