It really depends on the context. I agree that calling everyone a Nazi is watering down the meaning but a lot of right wingers also say that when you call actual Nazis Nazis.
The extreme left and extreme right spaces have a lot in common. Purity tests and instant bans for anyone not sharing the same groupthink is probably the biggest things.
And I avoid communities that enforce that nonsense. All I want in community moderation is enforcement of civil discourse and keeping discussion on topic. That’s it.
Funny you should mention this. I got banned from several communities for saying something like this.

Don’t call people nasty things because you don’t like them, call them nasty things because that’s accurate.

Anything “extreme” has never been a good thing, that’s why it’s called extreme. But this sort of opinion can also get you a lot of backlash.
