ZD: Breslevers like Rabbi Yaavok Meir Schechter would count as Chassidim along with any old-school Breslevers that speak Yiddish etc. I assume what you’re referring to are the neo-Chassidish Breslevers like Na Nachs and the Chassidishly-influenced, in which case I agree. I think we’re on the same page, I just wanted to clarify that.

The difference is that Chabad has both Neo-Chassidim (who are definitely not real Chassidim) and old school Lubavitchers who are still completely different from the rest of Chassidim.
