pettifogging it matters not what you call the fascists, they’re still practicing fascism. This pedantry your arguing is just that, pedantry, and it’s distracting.
Like i said. Some Zionists are fascists, but can’t be nazis. By definition. When you start to throw words around that doesn’t mean what you think they mean, they will eventually stop having any meaning at all.
It would appear that English speaking really want to shift what nazi means, rather than have zionism be its own term with similar meaning.
It would appear that you really want to shift the conversation to the exact definition of the word “Nazi”, rather than have people talk about facists and the problems there of.

Pedantry separating out one right wing authoritarian from another isn’t helpful in this context. Maybe in others, but not in this one
Also, language has always evolved, the words didn’t lose meaning they changed meaning. ‘Literally’ became an antonym, it’s fine.
So you’re doubly wrong. Wrong for being a pedant, and wrong for your stated reason for pedantry.

Zionists are fascist, but they aren’t nazis. Hope we cleared that up for you.
