Usage Note
Nazismo refers specifically to the ideology and political movement of National Socialism in Germany. It is always masculine and used as an uncountable noun (el nazismo). The adjective form is nazi (invariable: ideología nazi, partido nazi). Treating it as synonymous with generic authoritarianism is considered imprecise in formal writing.
Examples
"El nazismo causó millones de muertes durante la guerra."
Natural Translation
Nazism caused millions of deaths during the war.
