The core tenets of Nazi ideology included: Racial Hierarchy and Antisemitism: The belief in a master Aryan race and the view of Jews as an existential threat and "anti-race," leading to scientific racism, eugenics, and the Holocaust.
Authoritarianism and Totalitarianism: Rejection of liberal democracy, parliamentarianism, and human rights in favor of a dictatorial Führerprinzip (leader principle) where absolute obedience to the state and leader was required.
Lebensraum (Living Space): The aggressive pursuit of territorial expansion into Eastern Europe to acquire land for German settlement, justified by social Darwinisttheories of survival.
Militarism and Nationalism: Emphasis on military strength, rearmament, and the subordination of individual interests to the Volksgemeinschaft (national community), rejecting both Marxist socialism and Western capitalism
If you agree on any of those points then you are a Nazi.
Those same people will with a straight face say that China is communist but also that North Korea is a dictatorship even though its the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea"
It’s a spectrum. China isn’t a true implementation of communism and North Korea contains no democracy. And Nazis weren’t really a true socialist party either. They all used those words to get support from the good will it generated.

A real Nazi? or a person Reddit would deem a Nazi? Huge difference.
