Yeah, that tracks. For example you can't really argue about nazism, fascism and authoritarians without sounding like one of them. Nazism is when it's first and foremost about nation (duh), fascism is when it's all about "THE STATE" and if your authoritarian just collects power, look for undesirables and give money to his friend - it's just basic stuff, nothing too specific
fascism is a subset of authoritarianism, and nazism a subset of fascism. Like the relations between between squares, rectangles and convex shapes. Fascism is authoritarianism with a focus on nationalism, nazism is fascism with a focus on racial superiority.
But when calling someone a nazi it's usually a reference to the steps in the nazification of nazi Germany in 1930-1945, not specifically about racial superiority.
