I detest Nazism whether committed by those who gave us the term, those who preceeded them or those who succeeded them. My Government/Nation and yours amongst them. Which is precisely why I abhore the view which suggests that the meaning of the term has somehow changed BECAUSE of its debased usage. Nazism is evil embodied in the state. Any lesser usage of it devalues our common language and (by making the term "more acceptable" - as some here clearly find it to be) helps cast a gloss over the evils of the Third Reich.

Which is in no way to castigate Mbo for his careless use of the term - we all make gross errors of judgement at times!
