Tangential: shouldn’t it be “Naziism”? Like, in “Nazi” the “i” belongs to “Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei”, or the “Natio—” part. But shouldn’t there be another “i” that goes with the “ism” suffix, so “Naziism”? Am I thinking about it in the wrong way?

Or just fascism, nazi is a specific brand of fascism
I’m not talking about the ideology here, I’m talking about the linguistics of it all, specifically about the word “Nazism”. 😊
