    Nazi = fascist in western circles these days, it is as simple as that

    The Russian “Nazi” = the western “terrorists” = evil bad motherfuckers have to be exterminated = propaganda to keep people motivated to do war activities

      I think his observation still stands when we swap out Nazi for fascist.

      Frankly, I think it gets a bit confusing when we lump every horrible authoritarian into the ‘Nazi’ bucket.

      There are non-fascist authoritarians. I agree that it might be confusing, but in terms of initial political resistence, I think the first steps are the same.

        I agree, though at least fascism is a little more vague and I think that is at least more workable than the very specific Nazi designation.
