I'm confused as hell right now.

Is socialism left wing or not?

    There is a common argument from the right that goes "nazis were left because the socialism in national socialism means they are left". I think you are being interpreted as arguing in this way because you said "socialism means left though" on a comment saying the nazis used that label to obscure their rightwing politics. Socialism is leftwing, but not in the the context of national socialism, that "socialism" plays the same role as the "democratic" in the democratic peoples republic of korea.
