@TheAtheist

Majority of his policies were left-wing

@TheAtheist

Ok, but he took on a variety of socialist economic policies. I think it is fair to say he was more left wing than right wing. Just because he was nationalist doesn't mean this outweighed his liberalism or matched it.

Hitler was neither. He adopted policies and ideas from both sides. There's a reason it's called the National Socialist Party (Nationalism - right wing, Socialism - left wing).

I wanted to debate the definition of left wing as part of this debate.

-->
@Mharman

Left Wing. There are many competing definitions for it, so unless you want to debate which definition is best instead of the topic, it should be pre-defined.

@Barney

Of what?

@Mharman

I would want to accept the debate, but I am currently doing 2 others right now. I also don't know if I could post arguments since I have WIFI trouble and can only sometimes be on DART.

Definitions?
