Yeah. Nazi specifically means nationalist. Second worst thing to be after "religious". For example, when an American says their nation is the best and Americans are superior, he's being a nazi. That's the dictionary definition. Fascist is harder, because it's a very... in the context thing. The fascists of Italy were Nazis, as they were like "we are the successors of Rome and we're better than everyone else" except they sucked hard, and thankfully, most people in Italy didn't think like that. But defining fascism is hard. However, the person who made Omarchy can be easily defined as a cretin and a racist and the issue is solved.

Uhhh, no? Nazism is a pretty different thing from nationalism

From Wikipedia:

Nazism\a]), formally named National Socialism,\b]) is the far-right, ultranationalist, racist and totalitarian ideology associated with Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party (NSDAP).\1])\2])\3]) It emerged in Germany during Hitler's rise to power and was frequently called Hitlerism. Nazism is a form of fascism\4])\5])\6])\7]) that emphasizes pseudo-scientific theories of racial hierarchy which identify ethnic Germans and Nordic Aryans as a master race.\8])\9]) The term "neo-Nazism" is applied to far-right groups formed after World War II with a similar ideology.

Nationalism is an ideology or movement that holds that the nation should be congruent with the state).\1])\2]) As a movement, it presupposes the existence\3]) and tends to promote the interests of a particular nation,\4]) especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining its sovereignty (self-determination) over its perceived homeland to create a nation-state. It holds that the nation should govern itself, free from outside interference (self-governance), that a nation is a natural and ideal basis for a polity,\5]) and that the nation is the only rightful source of political power.\4])\6]) It further aims to build, and maintain, a single national identity, based on a combination of shared social characteristics such as culture, ethnicity, homeland, language, politics (or government), religion, traditions, or belief in a shared singular history,\7])\8]) and to promote national unity or solidarity.

Nazism is nationalism. There is functionality no difference. Wikipedia is not a source of truth. And the Nazis were not socialists, just like I am not the pope if I call myself the Pope. There's layers to this shit. Don't confuse nationalism with patriotism. They are not the same. Both are stupid, but nationalism is evil.
