     Also this site does attempt to define NatSoc. How much is truth(all political philosophies do attempt to make 'theirs' look as clean as possible, however the enemies of these political philosophies attempt to make them look as dirty as possible; witness McVay's one sided view of NatSoc)is up for debate although the e-pamphlet is mostly opinion and therefore almost impossible to argue against.

     First of all, the term 'Nazi' is used in a derogatory sense by holoProms and most of the population. i.e. 'The Soup Nazi' on Seinfeld. Second of all, are deniers necessarily National Socialists? I'm sure that some are, and some aren't. But then, how do you define a National Socialist? The different NatSoc parties throughout the world do not necessarily have the same agenda. Some are quite benign to races other than their own; some aren't. Now if you equate the word 'Nazi' with National Socialist, you'll find that National Socialists are not necessarily such a bad lot. Therefore, Nazis are not such a bad lot either.

     I believe in my version of natSoc. There is no room for racisim.

2. (countable, sometimes euphemistic) A Nazi.

     I've stated on this NG that what the natSocs did to the Jews and others was immoral. Whether or not there was a plan to exterminate them all, I don't know; ask Penn Jillette.

     For now, let us hope that the government will act on the advisory committee's recommendations. It's unlikely, however, that the National Socialists will have the will or guts to take on the Greens, who will be backed by Labour and the Apartheid Aotearoa Party. Today's news that the NatSocs have just assigned $1.5 million of taxpayers' money to new "environmental initiatives" doesn't bode well.

Usage notes

• This term is often used by adherents of neo-Nazi ideology in an attempt to avoid the negative connotations of the word Nazi.
