If National Socialism was ever a "fundamentally left-wing movement" then nobody told Hitler's contemporaries. The right found him sympathetic and the non-communist left didn't.

The lineage is messy, but "leftist movement that walked back some important bits" is a reasonable ballpark description. Their formal party platform reads like a "What if Bernie Sanders was a really self-hating Jew" skit. "Non-communist left" is still usually quite communist-sympathetic, and the German conservatives seemed to think they were making a deal with a lesser devil against the greater.

Personally, I like the simplicity of the /politicalcompassmemes solution: Call them auth-center and let the comments section slapfight it out.

But more generally it is something that raises an eyebrow and if you have another similar candidate who doesn't raise that eyebrow, why not go with them?

The problem is the Dems don't have similar candidates. If he wins, he'll represent a significant portion of the total testosterone level on the Dem Senate bench.
