    Neo-nazis. Shortened to Nazi. I think we understand what it means given the context.

      Once again, Nazi was the name given to germans in WW2, because the National “Socialist” party, the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei

      Fascism is the word for the political ideology that Musk and Trump does in America, not “nazism”, they are fascists.

      Here is a great video about fascism https://youtu.be/5Luu1Beb8ng

        Neo-Nazism, not Nazism.

        Neo-Nazism and fascism aren’t mutually exclusive.

          Again, neo-nazism makes no sense, imagine if Trump started doing shit then Europe banded together and defeated them, then 70 years later when Fascism rises in Europe and some Temu Mussolini takes over we start calling them neo-magas, or more accurately to derive the name from the political party neo-repies/neo-repubs

          The politicial ideology of Nazi Germany was Fascism, the political ideology got its name from Italy.

          The only way neo-nazis would be accurate if you would be referring to germans trying to do another Third Reich (maybe Fourth?)

            GTFO! Currently, there are more shit for brain US Nazis, within the MAGA ranks, than the fucking German Nazis, within the AfD, could dream of.

          Fascists, there is no “nazism”, and there were no nazis is america, they were fascists.

          It wasn’t german Nazism on the rise, it was german fascism, led by the NSDAP, hence the nickname nazi for germans.

          Listen how nationalsozialistische is pronounced in german and you will get why the shorthand nazi was used.
