Why not just say Nazi or Clasical (etc.)? What purpose does this word use? Is it to denote a more recent time? Or what?

Yes, neo means "new" as many others already wrote. In the case of neo-Nazi it has the purpose to differenciate between the morons living today who have Nazi views but are quite under the control of functioning democracies and the "original" Nazis who ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945, started World War II and murdered millions of people. Basically all young people who adopted Nazi views after 1945 and are not still the "original" Nazis are called neo-Nazis.

Marxism and communism are close enough that they can be used interchangeably, as long as the words are used somewhat metaphorically, not quite literally. If communism and Marxism mean the end of private ownership, then it would be the government in some form owning property. Even if you say "it wouldn't be the government but the people" decisions woudl have to be made and that woudl require a governing body deciding who gets to use what. So the distinction would be minor between socialism, Marxism and communism, unless you are in a government class and literalness is very important. As far as facism, that word has rather a broad meaning and a loose definition. You will find words like "tends to" in the more detailed definition. Nazism clearly was a form of facism. When a person refers to Nazism outside of a historical context, they are clearly referring to neoNazism. To pick apart those two terms is pick to say the least. So you have a good point about those who use the words communism and Nazism almost interchangeably, but other than that you have greatly overstated your point.

neo means new. it's from greek. it basically means a new or reformed version of whatever (i.e. neoclassical = newer form of the classical period or style).
