I've only ever heard people on the left calling right wingers nazis, never the other way around
So the thing about calling right wingers nazis, is right wingers who seemingly have no qualms about people with actual nazi paraphernalia supporting the same causes and going to the same marches, but the second this is pointed out their retort is "what! we're not nazis! the nazis were the national socialist workers party! it says socialist right in the name! Ergo the socialists are nazis!
You live in a better world than I. I have colleagues who have made this claim…
that's rather surprising. Maybe it's just dependant on location, but here, everybody calls lefties commies and right wingers nazis. That is, if they are being disagreeable to whichever side they are talking about. Most of the time they don't just label everyone with a different opinion than them as extremists
