Can we stop normalizing calling everything and everyone a Nazi and to normalize Nazi symbolism? I don't know how familiar you are with German history in detail, but it's way worse than what most people actually know. There is a reason why there has been a strict difference between Nazis and Neo-Nazis after the second world war. Sadly that distinction has been lost to the new generation now apparently.

Here’s a quote from a Lemmygrad admin if that helps:

The US committed a genocide and got away with it, the nazis attempted and failed at it. The concept of lebensraum is just the nazi equivalent of manifest destiny. Hitler says as much that he wants to emulate the US model of settler colonialism, in mein kampf.

So the only real difference between bourgeois democracy as a form of government, is that its much better at genocide than fascism was.
