It is in fact quite hard to distinguish Nacism from fascist communism. That's because the more extreme you get, the closer you get to a totalitarian regime where the policies don't serve the populace anymore and are therefore meaningless. That's why I would love to have a separate category for those extreme states. They may have come from different ideologies but end up being neither but something terrible.
Nacism comes from nationalism and racism and is therefore considered on the right spectrum, while communism comes from people centric social policies and is therefore considered left. But those are ideologies of old and are not really found within democratic states today. Rather we have two different left and right extremists which are routed less in political matters and more economical ones. The modern right is for freedom, (true) liberalism and self sufficiency, while the left is community centered, shared wealth and equality in all matters. Even the most extreme cases would stop at fascism, or at least would be stopped before it comes to that. So I think it's not fair to compare today's political ideologies with those of the past.
So to summarize, Nacism should not be considered right or left, but simply as "stupid". But it did evolve from far right ideologies so it's still weird to say that it's closer to the left than the right.
I realized that I didn't mention progressivism and conservatism which are nowadays pretty tied to left and right respectively. And of course there is religion which plays another important role but all that just muddies everything up and I don't think either of those things should be tied to left or right.
