Right. If someone expounds Nazi-like ideology (including racist antisemitism); adopts Nazi-style slogans, songs, gestures, or symbols except in ironic, dramatic, or educational use; promotes behavior tending toward genocide or promotes outright genocide; promotes aggressive warfare or diplomacy in the name of expanding the nation... then we may have someone with some Nazi tendencies. I have seen KKK fascists adding swastikas to their robes or adopting the word "Aryan" in their organizations' names... KKK and Nazi style may be different, but the bigotry and proclivity toward violence are there.
If you adopt a hammer-and-sickle device, iconic images of Lenin or subsequent Communist leaders, the clenched first, and such slogans as "Workers of the World, Unite!"... then what else could that mean?

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
