Nazism?

I never quite understood why Nazis are referred to as right wing, after all the term stands for national socialist party, and socialism is a left wing ideology.  I understand that the racist aspects of nazism make them right wing but their economic philosophy is definitely left wing, which makes the referenced article very interesting and shows I am not the only one confused.
