Nazi is short for NAZI SOCIALIST
hmmm, which party in the USA is more socialist?
Nazi is short for Nationalsozialistiche Deutsche Arbeiterpartei.
The first two syllables, "Nati" are pronounced as we pronounce "Nazi:" NOT-see.
Whoops, missed the third 's': Nationalsozialistische
The first two syllables, "Nati" are pronounced as we pronounce "Nazi:" NOT-see.
However, let us not forget that the Nazi's mortal enemy during it's political infancy was the Communists..
The Nazis, although they called themselves "socialist", were not.. They were Totalitarians..
Although the distinction between political philosophies is probably hair-thin, Hitler, influenced by Mussolini, steered his political philosophy and that of the party toward Facism..
While both include state monopoly/control of all facets of life and an Authoritarian rule, Facism includes the ideology of rule through racial superiority..
National Socialist I believe.
