Peterson has admitted that his only experience with Marxist theory is him reading the [[Library:Manifesto of the communist party|''Manifesto of the Communist Party'']].

== Nazi sympathies ==
Peterson criticized the Canadian government for creating hate speech laws to prosecute prominent [[Neo-Nazism|neo-Nazi]] [[Ernst Zündel]] and said that a part of him could be deeply satisfied being an [[Auschwitz concentration camp]] guard. He argued that [[Adolf Hitler|Hitler]] could not be blamed for his role in the [[Second World War]] and that, "the [[National Socialist German Workers' Party|Nazis]] had all sorts of positive reasons for what they were doing." He also questioned the validity of the guilty verdicts at the Nuremberg trials.<ref name=":0"></ref>
 
Peterson described Hitler as a "canny, canny person with a brilliant, brilliant sense of drama," a "wise father," and even a god.<ref name=":0"></ref>
 
Jordan Peterson gifted the Nazi-inspired flag of Kekistan to his father, Walter Peterson. He described the [[alt-right]] as "benevolent" but "incomplete." He goose-stepped and did the Nazi salute in front of students at the University of Toronto.<ref name=":0"></ref>
