I don't call them Nazis because I dislike them, I dislike them because they're Nazis.

    No they are fascists, Nazi was the shorthand for Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP), the first 4 letters.

    Fascism gets its name from Italy, Mussolini's Fascist Party, but it is the name for the political ideology as a whole, there is no Nazism and Americans being called Nazis is kinda weird, imagine if the scenario was flipped and you called german fascists MAGAs.

    Thanks for coming to my stickler talk.

    I don't live in America, and many people here actually do use MAGA or Trumpism to describe the local right wing people and parties because they are largely just copying America...

    Nazi doesn't mean national socialist, as I said it's literally just the first 4 letters, a shorthand a nickname, American version for Republicans would be Repu/Repus.

    Lots of people I have seen that think it's Nazi because the Sozialistische has the Zi, it's nonsense, Nazional is how germans pronounce National, hence it's shortened to Nazi.

    I call them Repubs at this point because they don't want to say things like "Democratic politicians" opting instead for "Democrat politicians" because they're worried democratic sounds too good.

    I think republican sounds too good. They don't want a republic, they want a tyrant.

    So, tyrannist? Hmm that's not catchy. Maybe just autocrat but that doesn't contain the root of the word tyrannus. Best I got for ya.
