> “Nazi” referred to the National Socialist German Workers’ Party <
Fun fact: During WW2, the Soviets referred to their Germany enemies as “fascists”, and never as “Nazis”.
Can’t be reminding everyone that the Nazis are fellow socialists!
Given Mussolini’s socialistic rhetoric while in power as a fascist, that would be completely transparently false to those who know what the allegedly separate movements were/are. Leopards do not change their spots; Mussolini was a communist at the outset.
