Hitler was apparently a bit of an enthusiast for National Socialism.

Yes, but the fact that they called the movement Nationalsozialismus doesn't mean they weren't right wing.

Nazism, or National Socialism (German: Nationalsozialismus) in full, was the ideology of the Nazi Party in Germany and related movements outside Germany.[1][2][3][4][5] It is a variety of fascism that incorporates biological racism and antisemitism.[6] Nazism developed in Germany from the influence of the far-right racist Völkisch German nationalist movement and the anti-communist Freikorps paramilitary culture which fought against the communists in post-World War I Germany.[7] The German Nazi Party and its affiliates in Germanic states supported pan-Germanicism.[8] It was designed to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism.[9] Major elements of Nazism have been described as far-right, such as allowing domination of society by people deemed racially superior, while purging society of people declared inferior, who were said to be a threat to national survival.[10][11]
