I agree -- I think our difference lies in the fact I really believe it's important to use words like nazi, socialist, etc. correctly. I like to call a thing what it is and know what it isn't. I realize this is nit-picky, but I can't help it.
If they read this...
I don't know. There are some pretty big words there. That might be a challenging point.

When I think of Nazis and Communists, it's like that Monty Python bit in "Life of Brian" about the People's Front of Judea and the Judean People's Front. Essentially they were the same thing, but reserved the most hatred for each other. "Splitters!"
What about:
All Nazis are socialists
Most socialists are Nazis
They were only the same in that they were both pretty bad political critters. You really want to be careful about using them interchangeably.
