    No. Nazi means national German socialism workers party, which was a german political party that did some notable things, like starting WW2, the Holocaust. You may want to look them up, the history is interesting.

    Two things being similar does not mean they are the same thing. Is every end stage cancer pancreatic cancer to you? Is every war just the great war to you ( I know you have not heard of WW2 yet).

    If you cannot understand that nazi actually is a word with meaning, and not just something you say when you think a group is authoritarian or evil, than you have absolutely no room in you brain for the slightest glimmer of nuance or basic comprehension of anything.

      Given that fascism inherently utilizes pretense and labels to control the framing of every argument, I counter with the assertion that, “a Nazi is, as a Nazi does.” If an individual deifies the authority of the government and worships its power by oppressing other individuals, that person is a Nazi. That goes for every cop that enforces unjust laws, every politician that executes a prisoner, every political party that goes to war, and every corporation that justifies profit at the expense of the wellbeing of a laborer. You’re free to disagree, but you’re just helping Nazis hide behind whatever logo they’re currently wearing.
