    Why call them NatSoc’s? We already have a word for them, and its Nazi.

      That was my initial thought as well. They love calling themselves “NatSoc” so I get uneasy whenever I see that term

      The more established term is fascists which refers to an ideology that advocates for military expansion and supremacy of a nation. Nazi had become a term to denote a type of fascism with the idea of a superior race from the many psuedo science that European diaspora fabricated to justify racism against non-Europeans and against other Europeans. National socialism is a term that Hitler coined to steal the good reputation that real socialists made for the label despite Hitler’s overt persecuation of Socialists and enforce the Capitalist redefinition of Socialism to mean command economy.
