We do not support, stand for, or tolerate the evil actions of the left-wing Nazi regime. People who claim to support Nazism will be banned and excommunicated from all our spaces and groups. Nazism is a dangerous and evil far left wing ideology which we cannot and will not ever support. If you are a Nazi we will ban you on site.

    *on sight, not on site by the way :)

    And Nazism didn’t really fall squarely in any particular political quadrant in the modern sense, so it’s not really accurate to call it left wing. They privatized a number of government functions (generally right wing), nationalized a number of industries (generally left wing), ran a bunch of government assitance programs (like to get people cars. This is also more left wing), and persecuted minorities not fitting with traditional social structures or values (social conservatism)

    Social conservatism is a political philosophy and a variety of conservatism which places emphasis on traditional social structures over social pluralism. Social conservatives organize in favor of duty, traditional values and social institutions, such as traditional family structures, gender roles, sexual relations, national patriotism, and religious traditions. Social conservatism is usually skeptical of social change, instead tending to support the status quo concerning social issues
    (Wikipedia)

    Social conservatism was explicitly a core part of Nazi ideology.

    Non-Jewish victims of Nazism included Slavs (e.g. Russians, Belarusians, Poles, Ukrainians and Serbs), the Romani (gypsies), LGBT people; mentally or physically disabled people; Soviet POWs, Roman Catholics, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Spanish Republicans, Freemasons, people of color (especially the Afro-German Mischlinge, called “Rhineland Bastards” by Hitler and the Nazi regime), and other minorities not considered Aryan (Herrenvolk, or part of the “master race”); leftists, communists, trade unionists, social democrats, socialists, anarchists, and other dissidents.
