In a movie I saw recently, Hymn To A Tired Man (1968, Kobayashi), there is a scene where some disgruntled salarymen are complaining about their boss, a former WW2 army general. "He still thinks he's in Manchuria," they say, implying the boss still behaves like a war criminal.
Which led me to the question…: is there a common Japanese word for a person who is authoritarian, fascistic, or whose politics could be from the 1930s? In English we say "Nazi", even if we don't mean they are literally a member of the Nazi Party.
