Ah, the political compass. It shows up more often than is healthy. I find it to be worthless for classification, but fine for comparison. My scores were somewhere along the lines of -9.6, -8.7, I being a libertarian socialist (anarchist), myself. The Political Compass is fairly useless though, because the scales are mislabeled. A more accurate political spectrum looks about like this:

I've got a few much larger rants on the topic, which I can repost here if anyone cares.
As for naziism, you can be fashionably contraversial and support it if you like, but you have to remember that it's not a legitimate political ideology. What is the definition of fascism? Extremist nationalism created by government propaganda to create a totalitarian order and advance the nation economically and politically. I'll give you wikipedia's definition to help be more specific:
Quote:
# exalts nation and sometimes race above the individual,
# uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition,
# engages in severe economic and social regimentation.
# engages in corporatism

That is not a philosophy which is even workable, it is in that way a lot like neoconservativism. It is only good for a small group of people who would benefit from being constantly at war with other nations because of an assumed superiority, which is NOT a viable basis for a political system. I don't care for bourgeois democracy much myself, but it's certainly more free than a statist system based almost entirely on creating a warped worldview.
One can speak about all of the "liberal reforms" which Hitler instated, but one can't forget that the actual definition of fascism implies going to war simply because you think your nation deserves to have more power than others. And calling the Nazi party a labour party is an insult to the name. Naziism was always the greatest opponent of socialism in all forms, and it is much more about nationalism than about any political philosophy that is even remotely progressive.
