What? Why are you so overwhelmingly confident in your statements? Why are you so quick to dismiss anyone who has even the slightest disagreement to your quite aggressive and absolutist opinions?
Also it's unclear to me why Nazis are the "end stage". They were definitely evil and neo Nazis today are definitely fucked in the head but you have not given a causal reason for why or how all authoritarian movements become Nazis.
Given that fascism inherently utilizes pretense and labels to control the framing of every argument, I counter with the assertion that, “a Nazi is, as a Nazi does.” If an individual deifies the authority of the government and worships its power by oppressing other individuals, that person is a Nazi. That goes for every cop that enforces unjust laws, every politician that executes a prisoner, every political party that goes to war, and every corporation that justifies profit at the expense of the wellbeing of a laborer. You’re free to disagree, but you’re just helping Nazis hide behind whatever logo they’re currently wearing.
