I don't call people Nazis, or not very often.
But if you want to know who are like the Nazis, you have to look a the ideology the Nazis followed.
Lack of dignity for all people. Thinking that man with his faults should decide who has children Thinking one group is better, or using those thoughts to create followship. Ideas of dehumanizing by claims of superiority until people can be treated like animals without empathy.
And a few other ideas. The Nazi problem is an ideology that was behind them, and still could be behind many people when you look at many actions.
Some more so then others, but you see it in any eugenics programs that think one group should prosper and not another for reasons of population manipulation. Or in areas of sterilizations or scarcity to control populations.
The Nazi issue is of the ideology they have, and how that created a terrible effect. Instead of thinking on how to avoid those thoughts, people use the visceral label without thinking about what different groups do that have some of that similiar ideology, and in that hide the Nazi ideology in many cases.
If someone mentions that terrible group, it should include the context of what ideas and thoughts not the label. And it is actually better to think and discuss on the better thoughts of empathy and caring then those thoughts in my view.
