Is being labelled a Nazi in 2023 when one doesn't identify with the Nazi party or it's ideologies similar to dead-naming people who have changed their names?

In reference to the Yaroslav Hunka, who fought for Nazi Germany in WW2, then fought for Ukrainian independence afterwards. Canada recently had him in House of Commons to pay respect for Ukraine, which caused an uproar.

On one hand, a man fought for an evil power. Wether he had choice in that participation is up for debate. Does it make a difference what actions he took for the rest of his life or should he always be labelled a Nazi? Is he more of a Nazi than skin head, swastika tattoos nazis of today? I guess the question is, is it fair to judge someone this way? Looking for your thoughts.

    The goalposts have been moved so far for libs that you have to identify with the actual nazi party from the 1940s to be considered a nazi.

        Every time I think I've found rock bottom for my expectations, reddit-logo finds a way to keep digging deeper.

        The EU imposed sanctions on Austria in 2000 for having the far-right FPÖ join the government coalition.

        Nowadays "no the USSR was absolutely more evil than Nazi Germany" is a mainstream position.

        I love bourgeois states in the absence of a Socialist state making them shit themselves out of fear of revolution and even reform. agony-wholesome
