* In the JamesCameron film: {{Avatar}}, we have The RDA and The RDA Spec Ops (aka the RDA Security Force) under the corrupt & fascist/warmongering leadership of Colonel Miles Quaritch, who hates the Na'vi and all living things on Pandora.

Common elements is the look of a [[PuttingOnTheReich paramilitary political force]] centring on one person as the supreme leader heavily guarded by his [[BlackShirt black shirted minions]]. Furthermore, their ideology is typical boils down with the leader often shouting, "We are the Master Race/Species! We will reign supreme! We will crush all who oppose us! All inferiors shall submit or/and die! Hail Victory!" To that end, the most hideous of crimes are obvious options they will use in a heartbeat and the only thing that will get them to stop is a swift kick in the head.

** I considered them 'radicals' and racists, but -not- Nazis as both sides were not fascists, but more of radical factions of democratic governments. A better analogy would be if the KKK had a StateSec/militia embedded in the US military in the 1920s. Or the admittedly better analogy of militarist factions in the Japanese government, and the takeover by the military officers in Japan (stronger similarities with the Zala takeover of ZAFT)

** Don't forget the {{Megacorp}}orations that are mentioned to have been dissolved by [[spoiler:Emperor Lelouch]]. They are most likely a combination of the Japanese ''Zaibatsu'' with the mercantilist corporations of the colonial era (ie. the East India Company, and so forth). It fits into a Fascist system due to Fascism usually being described as having strong corporate influence in the government (strongly seen in Mussollini's Italy and Nazi Germany). However, strangely enough, [[spoiler:Emperor Lelouch's]] reforms and style of autocracy are mentioned as having some elements of Marxist-Leninism .
*** Well remember the Fascists ripped off Marxist ideas, the NSDAP (Nazi) Party had shitloads of references and ideas taken from The Communist Manfesto - as shown in their political platform. Also, Mussollini was original an Anarcho-Syndicalist who jumbled on and mish-mashed his political ideas into fascism.

*** I'm thinking that is more of a 'cultural' than 'racial' thing given the Brittanian Empire has plenty of darker-skinned people, some who even become 'Purists' - so it seems to mainly be Americans who are considered 'brittanians' - Americans being people who live in the American continent(s) in this universe, and are the original Brittanians. Or a lot of genocide took place, and squick. Or not, given how Britain could alternate on how it treated other countries' former colonies - see New Orleans as a good example, of Quebec as a bad example.
**** [[DidNotDoTheResearch When did Britain ever have extended control over New Orleans? And what about Quebec? They were guaranteed their language and religion under British rule. A better example of Britain treating a colony bad would be the Acadians in the Maritimes, and their expulsion.]] Anyway, moving on, Britannian society seems to base it somewhat on race and somewhat on culture, they're never really clear on it. Assumedly, the darker-skinned Britannians were Honorary Britannians at some point - it wouldn't be the first time hypocrisy was used a a character trait for Britannian antagonists. It could also be that the darker-skinned Britannians were always in Britannian territory, and not conquered people. Remember, just because Viletta looks African does not mean that Britannia controlled any part of Africa until well into R2...

From 1933 to 1945, [[NaziGermany Germany]] was ruled with an iron fist by AdolfHitler and the [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazis]]. They eventually used RefugeInAudacity, to kill millions of people they found undesirable with about half (using the 12 million death figure) being Jews, the rest are various other groups that often got picked on in Europe: communists, Gypsies, homosexuals, Jehovah's Witnesses, the mentally ill, cripples, Polish, etc. The Nazis also started [[WorldWarTwo the most destructive war in human history]], which killed even more people (roughly 50 million). The result is that they are considered by many the most evil group of people that ever lived, and therefore [[AcceptablePoliticalTargets easy and acceptable to make look bad]].

* {{Stargate SG-1}} gave us the Eurondans, who were [[spoiler: a white supremacist nation locked in a bunker with most of the planet occupied by their enemies (called “Breeders,” because they [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous had children without regard for race]]) who they tried to kill with poison gas. Also [[PuttingOnTheReich put on the Reich]].]]

* The Movement from ''[[{{ptitlemv4qrxdx}} Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy]]'' fits this trope. The meat puppets (basic irreversibly mind-wiped and rewritten soldiers) even have a red armband with the movement symbol on it and jackboots. What really cements it is their belief that psions should rule over the normal humans and the fact that the leader of it all is a general who staged a failed coup who really isn't a psion [[spoiler: until he gets the artefacts he needs.]] For irony points the main character is blonde and blue eyed and none of the bosses are.

* Since ''ExoSquad'' is basically the European Theater of [[WorldWarTwo WWII]] [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]], it's no suprise that Phaeton's Neosapien Order has Naziesque qualities in rhetoric and ideology, and somewhat in practice.

** The Bernice Summerfield ExpandedUniverse novel ''Down'' features a member of the Stella Stora Sigma Schutz-Staffel [=SturmSoldaten=] (the SSSSSS), "the most ineffective Nazi group since the Outer Hebridean National Party", who is a collection of [[ThoseWackyNazis Nazi stereotypes]] masquerading as a character (intentionally; his character arc is that he realises this). The less ludicrous Fifth Axis appeared later in the same series and, in a case of it all coming full circle, turned out to be [[TheManBehindTheMan working for the Daleks]]. (Since Benny is IndianaJones [[RecycledInSpace IN SPACE!]], it makes sense she'd be fighting Nazis IN SPACE!)

** Inverted since 1945, with the likes of the British National Party struggling to pass themselves off as a legitimate political party. [[PaperThinDisguise It isn't working all that well.]]
*** Oddly enough, they seem to think that it's their ''opponents'' who are the real Nazis, as any attempt to call them out is so clearly a violation of their right to free speech/thoughts/protests.
** Alternatively the '(neo)-Nazi' label is used as a blanket dissmissal of legitimate nationalist political parties, meaning that the pre-1945 situation is applied with even less accuracy.]
* These days the Netherlands has a "Party For Freedom" (''Partij voor de Vrijheid'', PVV) whose sole freedom is the freedom to parrot the talk of hard-liner Geert Wilders. His thoughts about Muslims aren't that different from Hitler's thoughts about Jews. One would not be suprised íf he starts talking about camps soon, seeing as (according to him) about 105% of the Muslims in Europe are criminals .
** Sure, aside from those pesky issues of him supporting human rights, a democratically-elected government, secular humanist values (albeit with a very strict immigration policy) - and oh, yeah, he's not a racist. And no, Islam does not contintute a race. It defines itself as a system of faith open to all races. For it or against it, this simple fact cannot be denied.

**** franco's Spain was 'non-belligerent' -which is ''not'' the same as 'neutral'- during the war, and sent volunteers to fight with the Wehrmacht against the URSS. Franco remained a nazi sympathizer until the end of the war, when he had to RetCon himself into an 'anti-communist traditionalist' and his regime into an 'organic democracy' (see PeoplesRepublicOfTyranny)

* In ''{{Starcraft}}'', the United Powers League, forerunner to the United Earth Directorate, definitely [[PuttingOnTheReich got their Reich on]]. To bring peace and order to Earth, the UPL pursued an aggressive campaign of rationalism and elimination of "impure" members of society.

* These days the netherlands has a party for freedom(PVV) whose sole freedom resolves around the talk of Geert Wilders. His thoughts about islam isnt that different as hitler's thoughts about jews. I'm not suprised íf he'll start talking about camps soon seeing as aobut a 105% of the moslims in europe are criminals according to him.

* S.M. Stirling has stated that his goal in creating the [[{{The Draka}} Draka]] was to imagine a Nazi-like country that actually [[{{The Bad Guy Wins}} knew what it was doing]]. The Draka are like the Nazis but [[{{darker and edgier}} darker and edgier]]. In fact, the first novel of the Draka tetralogy is set in the opening hours of [[{{Evil versus Evil}} a war between the Draka and Nazi Germany]], which eventually leads to the [[{{Curbstomp Battle}} fall of Europe]].
