The only thing I know about it was that catholicism was a big part of being a member and they voted for the enabling act, which seems quite right-wing to me. What anti-capitalist policies did they pursue? What did they do in reaction to the spartacists?
You are speaking without knowledge of the politics of the time. Those people existed in the context of their time and were a center standing against monarchists and fascists on the right and communists (stalinists) and socialists on the left. They did vote for Hitler, but this doesn’t put them in the far right. The core lesson about the rise of fascism isn’t that everybody is far right but about what the middle of the political spectrum does.
