Original Note:
Term "nazi" existed before National Socialism, as a derogatory word for a backwards farmer/peasant. While used by opponents of NSDAP, its members tried to embrace this term and make it into their own. Joseph Goebbels used it in a publication in 1926 called "Der Nazi-Sozi". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism#Etymology
