Which Nazi policies are right wing?

They are right wing because they believe in governed by an elite rather than government by the people. This is the proper definition of right wing.

It gets a bit confused in the US because US conservatives are mostly pro-democracy (as that is their glorious past) while in the rest of the world countries were built on monarchy and aristocracy so that's what their conservatives hark back to. However some class elitist conservatives do exist in the US, like the neo cons, and many see democracy as a great way of selecting the natural elite rather than choosing good representatives.

This is the proper definition of right wing.

It is absolutely not. You are brainwashed if you believe that.

Freedom of speech is a protection of "the people" from the elite. Because it takes power to disenfranchise others of their right to speak, so only those in power can do it. And it is clearly the left that is attacking free speech and the right that is defending it.

The right is not defined by the extremists. The right believes in individual freedoms, individual responsibility, ownership of the products of your own labor. These concepts are all anti totalitarian. The left believes the government should be given infinite power in order to use that power to make everything good. It is an infantile and ignorant basis for all their wants and claims. That IS totalitarianism, even if everyone on the left is too stupid to even understand that.
