So the question becomes, other than trying to post factual, historical information about Nazis, Fascists and the like for discussion, how--we can't tb--do you stop senseless, stupid, uninformed, hysterical, histrionic analogies?

Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
I disagree. You don't have to have seen something to know what it is. That is why we have sciences like paleontology. I have never seen a T Rex, but I would be willing to bet if I saw one walking down the street, I would recognize it.
History has given us a very vivid and thorough picture of who and what can and should be labeled "Nazi". The word may be overused, but doesn't mean there are not times when it is not only appropriate, but may be the most accurate and succinct way to describe a person or an ideal.

Does Neo-Nazi equate to Nazi?
One can be sure that he who says he knows knows nothing
Ignoring them is the best answer I think. Just not allowing them to suck you into their BS; they're trolls. Winding people up and stringing them along is utter nonsense is what they do. The more inflammatory the better; they derive a sense of control from it. It makes them feel powerful: they have you on a string. As I said, I have 9 or 120 of them on ignore.
An obvious reference to 'Rules for Radicals'. I'm wondering whether you've ever read it, Tahu. Every political operative of whatever Party or affiliation has, I can assure you, and many use it or the principles and tactics it contains every day. I once saw a video of a Tea Party spokesperson in full Colonial costume, powdered wig and all, praising 'Rules' and calling it indispensable. It's cute that you believe anyone thinks you are sly and well read because you make that reference.

Sure it does: how does he think? what theories does he rely on? What does he espouse? What does he reference? Cross referencing those is how we determine "nazism" or "fascism". Those two "philosophies", if you will can be labeled anything, but if you are really familiar with them you know what to listen for and what the printed word of spoken word is saying and from where it draws its inspiration.
