So did Mussolini, that doesn’t make Hitler far-left. Our nation has a mid-center part with socially left ideals, and since our country has a rather inward view, many Americans conflate big government with far-left, which just isn’t true. Hitler nationalized some industries and delegated their power to the previous owners of those companies, using them as his personal pawns rather than for any benefit to the public. He attacked unions, destroyed workers rights, ignored the class war, focused on nationalism and racism, made the state an almost spiritual institution in the eyes of his supporters, everything on his agenda points to far-right fascism, and his handling of the economy has almost nothing leftist about it.

If he had some rightist policies, and some leftist policies, why is it a stretch to say he was a Centrist dictator?

Welfare isn’t a necessarily leftist policy, and the reason, the ideals, the goal behind it, and how it was managed echo heavily upon the far-right side, so overall, saying he’s a centrist negates the point of what he actually did. Claiming that merely throws the nuance into the dirt in favor of a sort of ideological truce in an argument, though when looking inside Hitler’s party, and his rule as dictator, the clear consensus and logical conclusion is that he was, in most every way, extremely far-right.
