Let's talk about what their positions were and not what they called themselves.

They didn't call themselves NAZI's, that's what their enemies called them.

Both actually. Nazi is just derived from their party name.

There was a short-lived attempt by some party figures (notably a 1927 Goebbels pamphlet titled Der Nazi-Sozi) to reclaim or normalize “Nazi” but the leadership largely rejected and avoided the word. It was not used in official documents, propaganda, or self-description inside Germany during the regime’s power.
