Since the rise of German Nazism , which called itself "National Socialism", the term has been used in Europe and North America almost exclusively by political parties with Racial Nationalist views, for whom the "socialist" part of their name is no more than an empty baggage carried over from pre-Nazi times. However, in other parts of the world, which had little contact with German Nazism, the term "National Socialism" is sometimes used by parties that define themselves as socialist and patriotic, without being racist in any way. In addition, the term was also used by non-racist groups in Europe before the rise of Nazism. Thus, National Socialist parties may be divided in three categories: Parties that existed before the rise of Nazism
Nazi or Neo-Nazi parties
Non-European parties unrelated to the Nazis
