Well, that is finally an honest explanation for how the Soviets/Russians use the term "Nazi".
Nazism is when the State controls (not necessarily owns) all aspects of a society and places its reliance on a supreme leader whose word is law. Does that remind you of any country in particular?
I’m reposting this from another thread because it explains what it is Russia wants from NATO and it explains what they actually mean when they call someone a NAZI. (Neither of these things are what the West interpreted them to be.)
This is a link to a Danish analyst speaking before the war on what it is the Russians want. They want to be equal to “NATO”. Not to European nations, 30 of which make up NATO. They view NATO as a US proxy, and they want to have their own sphere of influence which is NATO’s eaual. They want to be what they believe the US is, the controller of those thirty NATO countries, only the controller of the Russian version of NATO.

The link below is a Ukrainian who explains all those weird Nazi accusations. It turns out that Russians don’t mean by Nazi what we might think they mean. For the reasons he states, if anyone disagrees with them, even Jews, then those people are their “Nazis.” There’s a lot of information behind this and it’s worth a listen.

Anger attacks on Jews (V)ha-Arets - הארץ, 31 January 1944
Hitler's speech on the anniversary of the Nazis coming to power in Germany was very short this time - it lasted only 20 minutes - and Hitler did not speak at a National Assembly, but in front of the microphone at his headquarters. Much of his speech was again devoted to angry attacks on the Jews, and outbursts of hatred and bloodthirstiness surpassed what he had uttered in all his previous speeches.
"... they are our main enemies. If we will ve defeated in the war, the Jews will celebrate a new Purim holiday all over Europe." Hitler said further: "We have exterminated the Jews. Now it is necessary to open the eyes of all peoples, so that they too will exterminate the Jews in their lands. We teach every other people in our livelihood, and all the prisoners of war we have, the great idea of anti-Semitism, to spread the faith in our Western culture all over the world, that the extermination of the Jews all over the world is the most important role we have set for ourselves."
Interesting, that before Russians almost never used the word “Nazi”, they always used “Fascist”.
“ If you’re anti-Russian, you’re a Nazi!”
Oooh, the local Zelensky boot lickers aren’t going to like that!
Reminds me of that joke:
Hitler goes to a Fortune Teller and asks when he will die.
"You will die on a Jewish Holiday."
Hitler says, "How do you know that."
The Fortune Teller tells him, "The day you die will be a Jewish Holiday."
Why are you/we so concerned with what the Russians want, feel, think? Their actions to expand their country’s borders by military means and resulting in destruction of the way millions of people lived and deaths of thousands, those actions are enough for any reasonable person/country to resist them by any means possible. This issue is way outside of Democrat vs Republican, abortion vs no abortion, transgender vs female, liberal vs conservative debate…
Thats the classic definition. Nazism has been recently redefined to be a more convenient epithet, along with half of the adjectives in the english language.
Nation:a large body of people united by common descent, history, culture, or language, inhabiting a particular country or territory.
Nationalism: having a desire that your own nation do well. Favoring the welfare of those of your own nation over those not of your nation.
Extreme nationalism: being willing to harm people of other nations, in order to benefit your own.
I regard myself to be a nationalist, but not an extreme nationalist.
An Israeli, for example, can be a nationalist, or even extreme nationalist, for the Jewish nation.
We need to dump the term “Nazi” in modern discourse.
“Why are you/we so concerned with what the Russians want, feel, think?”
Sun Tzu
“Know yourself and know your enemy.
You will be safe in every battle.
You may know yourself but not know the enemy.
You will then lose one battle for every one you win.
You may not know yourself or the enemy.
You will then lose every battle.”
Art of War 3:6:1–6
“We say:
Know the enemy and know yourself.
Your victory will be painless.
Know the weather and the field.
Your victory will be complete.”
Art of War 10:5:14–18
I am not certain I disagree with his opinion.
Nazi= were fascist (Close association between Corporations and National Government) who claimed to be democratic but were not. They used Propaganda and media control for Narrative, and scapegoated and dehumanized portions of the population (in that case Jews), to gain and maintain power. They used criminals (brown shirts), backed by corrupt justice of prosecuting only their political enemies, to riot, destroy, and intimidate. The direction against the Jews is just a small part of ‘Nazi’ and I don’t believe that it’s a necessary component.
Lets compare that to the Democrats of today.
Democrats= fascist (Close association between Corporations and National Government) who claimed to be democratic but were not. They used Propaganda and media control for Narrative, and scapegoated and dehumanized portions of the population (in that case Conservative christians), to gain and maintain power. They used criminals (Antifa-BLM), backed by corrupt justice of prosecuting only their political enemies, to riot, destroy, and intimidate.
See the similarities.

Exactly. Good one. lol.
The Russians played the Nazi card and lost.
Nazism is a religious cult. Google “Ariosophy”
Yes, I was thinking Fascism, not Nazism.
The essential defining characteristic of being a Nazi, is having something that the Russian regime wants to take, even if it is just a differing opinion.
If it is oil or gas though, then you are really a Nazi - like a double Nazi.
