Why do leftists always refer This doesn't make any sense.
Why should the nickname of
Adolph Hitler's political
party be used rather than its
proper name?

Because that has been, even back in the times, the used name for them. It's from the first word "National...". The "Nati"-part is almost pronounced like "Nazi" in German, and to have to say the whole name "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" is just crappy long. True, the German language loves its long words, but they are unpractical, which is why the Germans absolutely love abbreviations. (see the song "MFG" by the German band "die Fantastischen Vier", which almost only has abbreviations in its text) But if you can, and don't believe me, than google for Nazi-era newspaper pictures. After they got into power, and even before, "Nazi" was what they were referred to. |
