I really don't want to get all pedantic again, especially after my recent annoyance at many peoples inability to spell weird correctly, but this has striked me as quite important.
I've seen rather a few threads lately (as always) about the likes of fascism, nazism, communism and other extreme forms of government. In many of these threads, 'people' seem to alternate between using the words nazism and fascism freely when referring to the same thing. I'm sure the overall majority of you know this but for those who don't - Fascism and Nazism aren't the same thing. They're extremely similar in many ways, I'll give you that, but please don't refer to them as the same thing (unless you really know what you're talking about in which case I don't care.)
