Nazi refers to the German Nazi party, while "fascist" refers to broad reactionary movements usually found in decaying Capitalist countries as a safeguard against rising Socialist or Communist sympathies among the Working Class, with its own unique set of aspects like ethno-centrism, xenophobia, intense millitarization, etc.

I feel like each answer here is wrong and right.
Literally, Nazi was a shortened version of National Socialist, and was the anglicized name for the German party that Adolf Hitler rose to power in.
In the vernacular, Nazi is a somewhat catch all to describe various fractions and identified ideologies which the broad usage I think hurts discourse.
Some people mean in this general way, any racist, or ethnostate advocate could be considered a Nazi, as could any racist or fascist group.
I'm not for any of it, but the fluidity of usage ends up feeling like hyperbole when someone is not a literal Nazi, or doesn't even share Nazi values and beliefs.
When describing our enemies, I think static definition matters, because inaccuracies can be an attack surface to dismantle arguments.

No, it wasn’t.

that only seems to talk about the use of the fasces as a symbol, which is pretty different from explicitly calling oneselves fascists, or holding specifically fascist beliefs. the same article lists a ton of other places one can find fasces. the symbol is much older than the ideology, but that doesn't mean anything using the symbol shares the ideology.

Assuming you mean as description of a contemporary person, in casual sense.
A nazi is someone consciously inspired by Nazi Germany, typically by using its symbolism or alluding to it, holding some ideas specific to the period but not necessarily all.
A fascist is someone that supports a specific model of government and policies derived from ideology called fascism. -
Has any credible expert ever supported the claim that "Ceasar’s rome was fascist in name and ideology"
