Having spent some time in the academic world at the university level, the leftists residing there were anxious to distance themselves from the Nazis by creating a spectrum that made no sense. They put the "right wing" totalitarians on one side of the spectrum and the "left wing" on the other side.
In reality, the spectrum runs from Freedom to Totalitarian.
The media (also leftist) parroted this false model because it was socially unacceptable to be associated with the Nazis but socially acceptable to be associated with the Communists. The gullible swallowed this nonsensical model. I learned the same nonsense too. It never made sense to me even as a high school student. It was rote learning at its finest because it certainly wasn't logical or real. What next, a hot-cold spectrum where very hot shares a spot next to cold and hot is at the opposite end?
Every time the Nazis are correctly called Socialist (which is a part of their acronym), apologists start screaming that it's all a misunderstanding created by ignorant fools. The confusion is aided by the fact the Nazis fought the Communists. Guess what, Communists usually hate each other and have fought each other since the inception of Communism. I've lived in a Communist country and don't see any difference between the practice of Communism and Nazism though I am too young to have personal experience with the latter. They're all just a bunch of thugs running things for their own personal benefit.
