      No, you’re thinking of the strict historical prescriptivist definition of the word “nazi.”

      All Nazis are fascists, not all fascists are nazis, academically speaking.

        No. I know what I’m thinking. Thank you. Fascism was in Italy, during WW2 and before. “Benito Mussolini” rings any bells?

          Spanish fascism was around in WWII, they wrote their manifesto for their specific approach to it, and now we are dealing with American fascism. Those are two different and unique systems of fascism. You understand that politics and language change and evolve, right? There are multiple different faces and approaches to fascism, just like any other political concept. That version of fascism failed, this is the current iteration. Think of it like an OS, every version of windows is still windows, but windows XP and windows Vista aren’t the same conversation.
