Finally a person who properly distinguishes Nazis and Neo-Nazis

What is the difference functionally?

See:

Nazism is fascistic antisemitism. In other words, you can't remove antisemitism from Nazism and still have Nazism; you just have fascism. Nazism does not describe Trump/MAGA as so many people claim. Neo-Nazism is a much looser idealogy that applies Nazi philosophies and techniques to contemporary issues/societies/politics where antisemitism doesn't have to be the central belief.

The term neo-Nazism describes any post-World War II militant, social or political movements seeking to revive the ideology of Nazism in whole or in part.

Neo nazism, to me, seems more concretely ‘antisemetic’. They’re modern Nazis looking to bring it back. When people call Trump supporters Nazis they’re just using it as a shorthand for fascist as the Nazis are the most infamous.

They’re not literally Nazis. But they would’ve been if they were about at the time because they’re gullible, hateful cunts.

This is my interpretation as well.
