The notions of left and right are only imperfectly applied to fascist and communist governments. If you use a spectrum of greater or lesser government control over the economy and society, the Stalin and Hitler regimes have more in common than they have differences. If you look at the historical record of Adolph Hitler's early years in power, you will notice an eerie similarity in activities vis-a-vis industry, political organization and activism, and ever increasing govt control and INFLUENCE over daily activities (especially economic). Initially Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric (sound familiar?), though such aspects were later downplayed to gain the support from industrial owners for the Nazis (much like Wall Street contributing to Obama). Later, especially during the war, the Nazis (short for National Socialist German Workers' Party) started to exercise more direct control. Franz Neumann's classic account of the governmental workings of Nazi Germany, "Behemoth", first published in 1942, goes into great details on how the Nazi's were able to re-organize society, aiding in the collapse of traditional ideas of the state, of ideology, and of law. The transformation of Germany was the goal, with the end goal of extending and perpetuating Nazi power. Transforming America was Obama's stated goal, and the actions of his administration and his party seem to be geared more towards the extension of the state apparatus and perpetuation of Democratic Party power rather than finding solutions to our countries problems.
