Correct. I’ve heard “neo-Nazi” way back in the 1970s, even when I wasn’t living in the USA. Most frequently in the US media I heard it was during the early 1990s, when apparently there was a rioting neo-Nazi contingent in the then-former East Germany who somehow later “disappeared” (which means they’re still there).
Hi,
there is no difference between neo-nazi and nazi.
I asked two historians, as this was a hotly debated topic at wikipedia involving the Proud Boys.
One even told me that if one of his students used the term, he knew that they got it from wikipedia.
They could be mistaken but that is where I got the idea from that it was a recently created term.
