National socialism was just that.  It was a regional ideology that "everything within the state nothing outside it" to that end all industry was to be controlled by the state.  The private entrepreneurial profit motive was replaced with subsidy schemes etc.  The only difference between Hitler and the modern left is what brand of utopia they wanted to impose through the coercive power of the state.  Hitler organized nazism based on racial purity the modern left organized based on radical sjws ideological purity.  The nazis "purified"  the population by mandating the death of those they deemed genetically inferior drags on society.  The modern left made it voluntary and rebranded it "right to choose".  Dont believe me, read freakonomics or study eugenic science @ the time pp was established.  

FDR was friendly to Mussolini, implemented most of his programs and was described as a fascist by Mussolini (another former socislist) himself as a result of their corredpondance... 

But wait.  Mikesez has a website that incorrectly places the absolute value of the individual on the left of the political spectrum so nevermind. Lol...  

#GETONMYLEVEL

but it's nice to see ur still talking in circles.

Your political spectrum is interesting.  You're basically flattening the political compass thing back into one axis, holding that what they call "authoritarian" is interchangeable with what they call "left".  Stalin would still be to the left of Hitler in such a scheme, right?  In my opinion, the political compass was already oversimplified and your idea makes it even simpler, and therefore less meaningful or useful.

As for FDR and Mussolini, couldn't we equally say Trump was friendly to Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinpeng?
