Saying Nazi instead of fascist is a distinction without a difference. All Nazis are fascist, but not all fascists are Nazis. Most people don't even know fascism originated in Italy or got the name from the fasces Roman lictors carried while escorting senators and dictators. I think it's ok if people are only able to recognize fascism as Nazism, because it all gets to the same idea, they are bad organizations that want to rule you and take away rights.
