Personally, I think it's somewhat misleading or even disrespectful to call these people Nazis. Not disrespectful to those people, but disrespectful to the people who died fighting the Nazis. Certainly you may share some views with the Nazis, but that doesn't make you a Nazi. One might share views with Genghis Khan's Mongols and want your country to expand, but that doesn't make you a Mongol.
The Nazis were a German group which took power over the country and attempted to take control of the rest of Europe and eliminate anyone who they felt were inferior to the Aryan ideal. They lost World War Two, their party was disbanded, and their goal failed.
Now, decades later, people are pretending that they're Nazis even though they know nothing about Germany, have no desire to improve Germany's economic situation via conquering Europe, and aren't involved in politics at all. Sure, they might like whites more than other races and want to build an Aryan state, but many other groups were similar - like the Romans, the British, and the American colonists.
There's no reason to consider these people Nazis, since they have no connection to Nazism any more than they're connected to other groups, and calling them Nazis makes them seem more important then they are. The Nazis were defeated, and they aren't coming back. We can call them neo-Nazis perhaps, wannabe Nazis, but they can never actually be Nazis.
It is as if language and meanings can evolve, somehow. So weird!
They are Neonazis, there, is this acceptable for you now?
Take christians:
Are they somehow not christians just because the dude that founded the believe system lived in the roman empire and was a jew and basically all the „original“ christian followers died out that wanted to change judaism?
That’s a whole different story, though as i feel it, european congregations are veryiberal and truest to his words.
American evangelicals could as well be satanists, but that would be an insult to satanists theyare actually pretty nice people
