You've got real Neo-Nazis today using it to describe their movement, conspiracy theorists like Jim Marrs using it to refer to the covert continuation of the original Nazis (w/ all sorts of energy weapons and anti gravity tech and secret global domination stuff), Euroskeptics unhappy with Germany's dominance of the EU, and James Baldwin used it to refer to the "law and order" backlash to the civil rights movement in the Nixon era.
