Nazism is generally considered to be part of the spectrum of far right wing political systems.
The word Nazi is an abbreviation of the German Nationalsozialist, because when the Nazi Party was established around 1920 it was based on socialist principles dedicated to empowering workers. Socialism is normally seen as part of the left wing of politics, but over time the Nazi policies evolved towards fascism, which is an extreme right-wing political philosophy.
By the time the Nazis ruled Germany and waged terrible war on the world, they were essentially a subset of a greater fascist movement which also included Benito Mussolini's Italy. Thus, despite their beginnings, most people now consider Nazism to be an extreme right-wing philosophy.
You'll notice in this comic there is also a subtle (or not-so-subtle, depending on whether you noticed it or not) joke in that Ginny wants to take the left passage. I didn't mention above that Communists (which Ginny might believably be, given we know at this point that she is a Russian agent) are traditionally seen as being the extreme left side of the political spectrum.
