Just wondering why more people are not noticing or pointing out the following: NAZI translates to National Socialist German Workers' Party. Seems a lot like Democrat Socialists of America.

Remember Hitler was elected at first. History repeating and not in a good way.
WE notice. By “we” I mean conservatives who were actually taught some history. The media buries it and the public is, in general, incurious.
Yep. No curiosity.
Oh of course Freepers and such know this. You are correct about your other points.
Learned that fact and people refuse to see truth that Democrat Socialists are the modern “literal” bleeps when you see the key words “Socialist” and “Workers”.
The DSA needs to go find their utopia in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Especially that they share the most basic theme of real original Nazis: Jew hatred.
I was hoping that Socialism was dead, in the last century.
I had come up with several “explanations” for it, like industrialization, improvements in mass communication, and the like.
I expect, now, that it is a part of human nature. The real world is exploited by the afflicted wherever gain can be found.
Humans are not free of it, as I had hoped.
Yup. Meant to include that. Thanks for correcting my omission.
I’ve been referring to them as DAZIs for quite awhile now.
“Especially that they share the most basic theme of real original Nazis: Jew hatred.”
It seems that American Jews are all in on the Jew hatred.
Hitler held no elected office until he was appointed chancellor by the president in January, 1933. A few weeks later, he was elected to the diet, Germany’s legislature, as a representative from Upper Bavaria, a constituency in southern Germany.
The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) is the country's main socialist party.
There are actually a lot of parallels between how todays democrat socialists and when Nazis in the 1930s, but they are definitely not the same, as you point out. The most glaring difference is that the Nazi party was strongly opposed to and felt that the communists were the greatest threat. So in that regard, they were inherantly not like current democrat socialists.
Originally the SA were very red (socialist) Nazis, stayed that way up to the Rohm purges.
Mostly because the MSM is not doing their job.
None of this is hard to find.
Hopefully the new GOP will use this for 2026-28 attack ads.
DSA are not national socialists, because they work to destroy the nation.
National socialists exalt the nation. When national socialists came to power in Germany the very first thing they did was to build a concentration camp and fill it up with their equivalents of the DSA.
The fact that Communism could cherry pick Fascists to switch sides (and vice versa) and steal their enemies over to their sides was well known to both the Nazis and the Communists in WWII.
This misunderstanding about Communism and Fascism is because this commonly used political spectrum is fallacious, and intended to try to amplify the small distance between the two totalitarian ideologies: 
This is useful for the Leftists/Socialists/Communists who wish to have a Orwellian 1984-ish Goldstein-like entity that they can direct their "Two Minutes Hate" towards, and in this example above, Fascism fits the bill perfectly for their purposes. But it is wholly fallacious, and IMO, intentionally so, because the Leftists/Socialists/Communists don't want the Useful Idiots and Rubes to realize that their ideological elbow-rubbing blood brothers are really the Fascists.
In other words, Fascism and Communism are both authoritarian ideologies. This graphic below is the more accurate representation of ideologies on a spectrum:
The fact that the Left and the Media push the spectrum that represents Communism and Fascism at the opposite ends of the Spectrum is quite telling to me.
You left out anti-Semitism. Hatred of Jews is fundamental to both the DSA and the Nazis.
