The words "national" and "socialism" have very different meanings to Hitler. The truth is, Nazi idealogy can be either left or right, it is the very nature of the beast, because as I earlier asserted, Nazism is an organizational structure, not an idealogy, or a system of economics or natural rights.

In order to understand that it can be both left or right, one must understand the central tenets of Nazism: Struggle ("Kampf" ring a bell?) , The Fuehrer's Will and the Fuehrer Principle. Again, the concept of Kampf (Struggle) is tied very tightly to Darwinism - the National Society is seen as an organism itself, struggling to survive in a world that requires immediate adaption - all members of a National Society (the actual origin of the term "National Socialism", it never had any origin in Marx ) are engaged in some sort of Struggle that is part of the National Struggle as defined by the Fuehrer (The Fuehrer Principle). The worker struggles to surpass his quota of gun barrels. The manager struggles to produce more and more rifles, the Party Member struggles to defeat anything that counters party policy, the farmer struggles to produce more food on less land to feed the troops, all are engaged in some task to further the goals of society in order the meet the National Struggle as defined by the Fuehrer. People are not going to work to pick up a paycheck, they go to work in order to take part in a war. Life is in itself, war.

These people are organized into "Fronts", there is a Labor Front, a Farm Front, etc, all reporting to the Party and ultimately to The Fuehrer. As we all learned in WWII, it is a powerfully effective method for the waging of war, and it has deep roots in Nordic society, indeed it organizes millions of people in a society in much the same way as Viking bands were organized. With this appartus, the Fuehrer can be in complete command of a National Society and direct it to fulfill his Will (Triumph of The Will, anyone?). Under men of genius, the system could be used to do incredible things, like Speer's massive war production in spite of massive allied bombings, or the building of the Autobahn by Tott, but in the end, it fails because, well, nobody's perfect, like Hitler at Stalingrad, while The Will can Triumph, it can also make some pretty collossal mistakes, like declaring war on America, for instance.

Economic systems are not defined in Nazism, and for a reason, the current economic system is whatever the Fuehrer says it is, if he deems all should have health insurance for the purpose of raising healthy potential soldiers and all people should live in communes in order to conserve resources, then that is the way society will be, If the Fuehrer demands that all taxes be removed and that free enterprise reigns in order to wreck havoc on a competing economy, that would be done as well, left or right simply does not matter. It matters not if they are "left" or "right" ideas, they are simply things that will be done because The Fuehrer has Willed it, and the Fuehrer is engaged in the greatest Struggle of all, the struggle for survival and triumph of the Aryan Race (the whole point of the book "Mein Kampf"), and all must obey him and see him as chosen by God to be the country itself. It is not hard to see why Bertrand Russel called Nazism "the bastard child of Fascism and Communism", for that is what it is, a smosgasboard of totalitarianism. If you look at the early history of Nazism, it had two competing models, Rohm's Stormtrooper people's army concept (the leftists) that Hitler gave homage too until he became Chancellor and saw them as a threat to his takeover of the Wehrmacht, and the other model, the er, Hitler's Will model we could call it, which ended up falling to the right in order to gain the support of the Prussian elites. It really could have gone either way.
