TBH I don’t think national socialism is that closely linked to antisemitism. If someone does everything else like the German WW2 nazis but replaces hate against Jews with hate against any other mostly powerless minority, I think it’s fair game to call that someone a nazi. Though in that sense a lot of people who often get called nazis still aren’t nazis in a narrow sense, because their organizational structure and general ideology is too different.
On the other hand, it’s usually just used as a shorthand/slur for “extreme rightwinger” (are those even necessarily fascist?), and IMO that’s not that much of an issue.
Anywhere where I look up the characteristics on nazism, “fervent antisemitism” is a key element. It is mostly what sets it apart from fascism and a corporative state (Ständestaat/Austrofascism).
The word literally gets used to describe someone that’s too intense about grammar. Israel is constantly called a Nazi state (and rightly so because of the similarities).
