Well, what's new?

My German is rusty, but isn't the word NAZI an acronym for "The People's Socialist Party?

or something to that effect.

Close. It roughly translates to 'Nationalist-Socialist.' Ferverently anti-communist, BTW.
Nationalist foriegn policy, capitalist economic model, socialist domestic policy. And a leader with "emergency powers" to put through whatever legislation it took to get things done. It took Germany from a bankrupt shell of a nation in '33 to a world power in '38.

Right now, with it's economic reforms and continued hard-line socialist government, Red China is following the same path. And unless we stop them soon, we're screwed.

Actually, it is an abreviation of nationalist Socialist party. Because "t" in Nationalist is pronounced as a "tz", they used "z" and shortened it to Nazi. Germans often shorten names and add an "i" at the end. Ami= American; Ossi = Ost Deutscher (east German); etc....

Ich wollte nur ein bisschen helfen.
