As a native speaker of German, just no.

Of course nazi is a play at nationalsozialistisch, but this is a backronym. They hated that term. The bavarian term Igantzius means moron, sort of. "Nazi" was a shorthand. The whole situation is a lot like "Daesh" for ISIS.

While we're at it, the German word "Sozialismus" has fuck all to do with "socialism" as it is used in English.
