'fascist'
Yes, blackshirts are more a fascist than a Nazi insignium.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackshirts
In English, blackshirts are most closely associated with Oswald Moseley's lot, but also with the Nazis in Germany because the SS wore black. In German, however, the shirt generally referred to as 'the' Nazi shirt is the 'brownshirt' or "Braunhemd", from the shirts initially worn by the SA and later by the Hitler Youth, among other groups.
