anonym29 clearly articulated (better than I could) how the term Nazi has a historically well-defined meaning – and still does today. The rise of the Nazis within the Weimar Republic and how they gradually accumulated sufficient power to carry out the holocaust is the classic lesson from history that we should never allow to happen again. Over the past couple of decades (possibly longer), I’ve noticed people – both on the left (point-scoring and attempting to generate outrage) and the right (holocaust deniers and fellow travellers) – water down the meanings of political terms such as Nazism. These attempts serve the interests of actual neo-Nazis. The problem with labelling ordinary “American anti-immigration Republicans” as “Nazis” is that when genuine neo-Nazis advocate the use violence to resist the “Zionist occupational government”, referring to them as Nazis no longer carries the weight that it should have.
