I don't know what atdrummond's political views were, and after your comment, I still don't know.
The label "literal Nazi" has become not particularly useful recently.
At best, it seems to be used to mean that the person in question agrees with one or more of:
"I think Hitler was awesome"
"We need to stop letting poor people into our country"
"Gee London was a lot better when it was whiter"
"I think we should forcibly sterilize everybody with an IQ under 85"
"I keep a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion under my bed"
"I will always use he/him when referring to trans women"
--
At worst the label is applied for much more prosaic reasons.
One can be racist, or a Eugenicist, or a white supremacist, or an anti-Semite, or transphobic without being a Nazi, and those terms are all far more descriptive than "Nazi," so are more informative.
