Rightpedia (en.rightpedia.info) was a misnamed national socialist (Nazi) wiki created by ex-Metapedia admins. The website contained anti-Semitic, racist and holocaust denial material. By its name, it appeared to be another false flag cyber operation to defame the Right by ignoring the fact that the Nazi Party, and Nazism itself, are on the far-Left of the political spectrum alongside other totalitarian ideologies like Communism, and that racism and anti-Semitism are particularly leftist traits.

Rightpedia trashed Conservapedia. They attacked this site for accepting the six million figure for the Jewish victims of the Holocaust, for rejecting Darwinism and the theory of evolution (both of which are embraced enthusiastically by the Left), supporting biblical creation, and for condemning the socialist policies of Adolf Hitler.[9]

...and Andy Schaftafly & co. support ex-KGB officer & totalitarian Vlad Putain.

In Soviet Internet, Conservapoodia trashes itself.

Another case of 'accuse your opponents of being what you yourself are'.

The Nazis thought of themselves as an alternative to both capitalism and Marxist socialism. If you had asked actually German Nazis from back in that day, they probably would have said they were neither "right" nor "left" I'd guess. If you ask modern "Neo-Nazis" they'd probably mostly identify as right-wing.

Man, they’re trying way too hard.

Only to the extent that in Germany, the traditional "right" meant "monarchist." The Nazis were heavily backed by big business and, once in power, immediately broke unions.
Mussolini described fascism as "corporatism." And if you look at sources from the time, political parties in other European countries all considered Nazism/fascism to be a far-right movement. France and Britain, for example. Domestically, Hitler considered his foes to be leftists, not other right-wingers. Hitler only took power through alliance with the far-right Stahlhelm and National People's Party; the leader of the latter, Hugenberg, was a former Krupp executive.

So a fight in which Conservaedia was actually the sanest side: at least they weren’t fired from Metapedua for being too extreme.

Nazis of that era wouldn't have identified as left wing - well, not after the destruction of the SA nor the union busting activities Hitler engaged in after achieving power - nor as particularly right wing so much as authoritarian capitalists. In this time, authoritarian capitalism is right wing.

At least the first two sentences were entirely correct - that's way above average by Conservapedia standards!
