Fascist, call them fascists. Calling them Nazis will just allow them to control the conversation about how they can't be Nazis since they're not mass murdering the Jewish community. Idiots will then be convinced that they're not Nazis. They however can't argue against not being fascists.

The Nazi salute that copied the fascist salute by Italian fascist Benito Mussolini
