Tornado Alley (PROG)

Not all fascists are Nazis. Not all white supremacists are Nazis, etc. Terrible, evil people, sure, but not Nazis. I don't think, for example, you would call Strom Thurmond a Nazi, or Putin one, either. Stalin was a fascist who fought the Nazis.

Nazi isn't a generic term applicable to these sorts, it has historical specificity.

The danger, in my opinion, is that if we just start calling unpleasant people Nazis, the word loses its power in the same way that calling any murderous dictatorial leader a Hitler does.

I've never heard Pol Pot described as a Nazi or a Hitler.

We come at this from different perspectives, I get that, never mind.
