The Nazi Party,[b] officially the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei [c] or NSDAP), was a far-right[10][11][12] political party in Germany active between 1920 and 1945 that created and supported the ideology of Nazism. Its precursor, the German Workers’ Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; DAP), existed from 1919 to 1920. The Nazi Party emerged from the extremist German nationalist (“Völkisch nationalist”), racist and populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against communist uprisings in post–World War I Germany.[13] The party was created to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism.[14] Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti–big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric; it was later downplayed to gain the support of business leaders. By the 1930s, the party’s main focus shifted to antisemitic and anti-Marxist themes.[15] The party had little popular support until the Great Depression, when worsening living standards and widespread unemployment drove Germans into political extremism.[12]
How was I misinformed?
Oh, this is one of those “I don’t like being called names so I’ll redefine words” things?
Let’s have a think…
Aggressive wars again neighbours
Creating a lebensraum for chosen race
Racism and racist laws
Exterminating lesser races
Ghettos and concentration camps
Tortures
forcibly transferred populations of various groups. These actions may be classified into the following broad categories: deportations of “anti-Soviet” categories of population (often classified as “enemies of the people”), deportations of entire nationalities, labor force transfer, and organized migrations in opposite directions to fill ethnically cleansed territories. Dekulakization marked the first time that an entire class was deported, whereas the deportation of Soviet Koreans in 1937 marked the precedent of a specific ethnic deportation of an entire nationality.[9]
What’s your point? The term Nazi no longer specifically refers to someone who is a member of a now defunct political party in Germany, but anyone who has those values, commits those crimes or shares those views.
So by a more modern definition of Nazi, Stalin and Beria were Nazis.
You’re arguing semantics as if it somehow excuses Israeli war crimes and crimes against humanity which they are definitely committing or depending on how strict your definition of genocide is, they may also be committing.

I mean Beria counts as torture and serial pedophilic rape, so take your pick.
