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.
Imagine gatekeeping nazis.
What do you call people who wear red and black swastikas and say heil Hitler while doing a salute typical of the Nazi party?
assholes.
Lazy and derivative
Romans?
Nazi is short for Nationalsozialist though. The party wasn't called Nazi, the members were.
It was and is literally called the Nazi Party https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Party
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...
If the situation were flipped, and Hitler was rising to power ~80 years after we had a massive war to take out MAGA fascists, then yeah I think people would refer to them as "MAGA", at least at first.
Nazi ~~means~~ refers to National Socialist, but at this point in history, it can also just refer to political movements that are fascist and Nazi-like. The meanings of words shift over time.
Edit: Fixed to appease a pedant.
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.
Ridiculously pedantic. Come on.
You are confusing National Socialism with Leftist-Nationalism
The reason Hitler added Social to their party name was because it was political suicide not to, not because they where socialists.
I mean, so was my first comment, not sure what you expected 😃
IMO it's more offensive to call MAGAs a Nazi. And I'm certainly looking for maximum effect. I couldn't care less about the etymology of 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.
Tyranids?🤷♂️
Nah I'll stick with repubs
That works for me dude.
It's semantics. The German and American fascists all pull from the same ideological and rhetorical playbook.
Veneration of the national security state. Zealous religious orthodoxy. Obsession with loyalty oaths and ethnicity sorting. Reflexive xenophobia. Institutionalized quackery.
It's all the same shit. Same as Apartheid Africa. Same as Kuomanting China. Same as Pinochet's Chile and Milei's Argentina.
