Whenever someone in media or government calls someone or group a nazi I immediately roll my eyes.

It is such a Leftist troupe and has no value. They've even written a law about it (from Wikipedia):

Godwin's law, short for Godwin's law (or rule) of Nazi analogies, is an Internet adage asserting that as an online discussion grows longer (regardless of topic or scope), the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches, in less mathematical terms, the longer the discussion, the more likely a Nazi comparison becomes, and with long enough discussions, it is a certainty.

Promulgated by the American attorney and author Mike Godwin in 1990, Godwin's law originally referred specifically to Usenet newsgroup discussions. He stated that he introduced Godwin's law in 1990 as an experiment in memetics. Later it was applied to any threaded online discussion, such as Internet forums, chat rooms, and comment threads, as well as to speeches, articles, and other rhetoric where reductio ad Hitlerum occurs.

Over the past few years, starting with Pres. Trump especially, it's not just online, but part of the DNCMedia's repertoire. And now Putin's in on it!

“Godwin’s law, short for Godwin’s law (or rule) of Nazi analogies, is an Internet adage asserting that as an online discussion grows longer (regardless of topic or scope), the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Adolf Hitler approaches,”

I would add to that other terms; NWO, Globalist, RINO, Oligarch, Crony Capitalist, and others. All exist but they are not together or individually the cause of all things all the time.

Too funny, most people are simply too stupid too uneducated and in general cannot see beyond the confines of their yards.

NAZI - National Socialist

Commy - International Socialist

More accurately - both are Dictator/tyrant regimes, simply fighting each other for supremacy
