Left and right are an oversimplification of all politics, not just Korean. And frankly, nazis were just Socialists following an Austrian Corporal instead of Lenin and Stalin.
The spectrum must include at least three axis to be sufficiently realistic. You can look up these systems in Wikipedia and elsewhere; but the simple left/right version has always been a Socialist tool.
Glad to see Joshua preaching the truth tho’…

Hitler was the belt buckle that bound left and right. He did purge much of the socialist parts of the Nazi party, but not nearly hard enough. Their nationalized industries eliminated profits (rail for example) which caused artificial logistic shortages throughout the war (arguably worse than allied bombing). They also abolished private property and unionized the entire workforce. Price controls, wage controls, etc.
Read the book The Vampire Economy. A fascinating primary source account of the destruction of an economy by socialism. Hilariously, written by a member of the Communist Party of Germany who has such severe cognitive dissonance that all he can see is fascism rather than the exact same policies be advocates for.
