By that logic you can't call anyone who's not actually an imminent global threat a Nazi at all, even people who actually call themselves Nazis. (Actual "neo-Nazi" movements are a lot less threatening to anything or anybody nowadays than, say, the Tea Party, largely because they willingly embrace the term and don't try…

The Scholomance was "teachers and students", or at least a teacher with a small handful of students, which is pretty much what schools used to look like back in the day. It's mentioned in fictional works like Dracula, since Dracula is one of the alums.

LeGuin claims to have done so — she said she was inspired to write Earthsea because "I always wondered what Merlin was like before he grew white hair and a beard" — but this can't actually be literally true, since actual schools of magic go back to the Renaissance and before in European tradition — people signing up…

I am actually completely serious when I say that to me the Tea Party/Fox News/crazy neo-John Birch crowd are what the Nazis were in their infancy, before they took power and became what we know as the Nazis, and that politically it is more important to rail against and attack the philosophical/ideological/social…
