  Blackshirts and Reds by Michael parenti explains it very thoroughly and gives great historical context.

  It’s because the word has entirely different meaning now than it did back then. The vast majority of people would struggle two name even one literal nazi that’s still alive today. Instead we incorrectly use that term to describe people we don’t like such as Trump and Elon.

    The meaning is exactly the same. The problem is that people are not aware of what the political motivations were for the Nazis. The Nazis were known for their blatant anti-semitism, but you need to look at the bigger picture about why the comparisons between the Nazis, Trump and Elon exist. Most of the comparisons are quite accurate and the term “Nazi” is more than just a dirty word.

    Mildly to your point, people use the word “Nazi” when they should actually be using the terms fascist or nationalist.

    What’s funny, is some members of the GOP are labeling themselves as nationalists when they have no idea what it actually means. (Trump and one of the Karen’s have notably done that.)

  Well, right now, it’s popular to be anti-zionist. And anti-zionists just aren’t gate keeping the way they need to.

  To give an intellectually honest guess, I’d say the honest among them think that form of socialism is the best way to handle resources and that violent revolution is the only way to get there effectively. The dishonest among them likely just wanna exploit the rest of them.

    The Nazis called themselves “national-socialists”, because socialism was popular at the time. Anyone who actually wanted socialism would have voted for the social-democratic party (SPD) or the communist party (KPD). The actual politics of the NSDAP were very much focused on the nationalist, xenophobic part. You just rarely have the baddies calling themselves “the baddies party”.
