Hitler was a socialist. So what makes him right wing?

No, he was a fascist. Just as there is nothing democratic about the
Democratic People' Republic of Korea, there is nothing socialist about
the National Socialist Party. In socialism, property and wealth are
communally controlled. That didn't happen in Nazi Germany. He was a
fascist. His rise was based on Nationalism and racism.

Is Stalin right wing too?

Just another autocratic, totalitarian, SOB. The former Soviet Union was
an elitist dictatorship.

Is Franco right wing?

Fascist, and that means right wing.

Is Trotsky right wing?

Definitely a leftist.

Castro?

I would say he's a leftist. A dictator, no doubt, but more benevolent
than most.
