21st century fascists
These days, fascists are becoming increasingly reluctant to refer to themselves as Fascists or Nazis.
Instead, they use monikers that are either euphemistic or plain misleading:
National Anarchist, National Revolutionary, National Bolshevik, Anarcho-Nationalist, Eurocentrist, Conservative Revolutionary, Social Revolutionary, Third Positionist (“Neither left nor right – third position”)
If you come across any of these tags, be aware that you are dealing with Fascists. Some of these terms -such as “National Revolutionary” and “Conservative Revolutionary”- have their origins in political movements of the 1910s/20s/30s that might not have been hard-core racist from the getgo, but which nevertheless helped paving the way for the Nazis’ rise to power. Others derive from pseudo-socialist currents within, or just outside the German Nazi Party.
Others still (such as “National Anarchists”) represent more recent attempts at recruiting leftists, anarchists, punks, etc through “revolutionary” posturing or by claiming to offer a “synthesis of radical left and right” ideas. Fortunately, their success has been rather limited so far: invariably asked to take a hike when attempting to participate in leftist marches or other events, “National Anarchists” have few options but to march alongside their more blatantly racist comrades.
Almost without exception, the people behind these scams are saddos who have begun their political careers in groups such as the British National Front and now opt for more subtle strategies to win broader support. But whether he/she wears a cute mask or not, a fascist still remains a fascist.

Any hierarchal organization of man is destined to produce rotten fruit. Though I embrace the Anarchist/Libertarian philosophy, I would be a dolt for joining any party or affiliated network dedicated to increasing their power base. The sheep sign up willingly for the political slaughter. Free minds of the World Unite, but not really, or something to that effect.
Yes, but the so-called libertarians/anarchists I’m referring to in my blog entry aren’t anarchists or libertarians to begin with. They adapt a handful of anarchist/socialist slogans and imagery to woo naive leftists, but they’re really nationalists, white power racists and fascists.
I heard a funny story about “National Anarchist” propagandist Peter Toepfer from Berlin joining a neo-nazi march and being physically attacked by a bunch of hapless nazi skinheads for sporting a circled Anarchy a. Toepfer had to run and shout for his friend Christian Worch, a notorious neo-Nazi organizer, to intervene and explain to the skinheads what “National Anarchism” was *really* all about. That’s how “anarchist” the National Anarchists are.
Maybe you should read what we have to say and not just attach a label to us. We are for getting rid of the dogmatic thinking and for a dialog between the different groups.
In a way we are the people who really try to break the political mold that is chaining the people that like change. And the traditional ‘left’ is rather is rather happy in their corner and the secular existance.
Read what we have to say and wake up to reality. Lef- Right doesn’t exist anymore. The issues are important.

1. The “left/right doesn’t exist anymore” schtick isn’t quite as new as you make it out to be. Mussolini’s fascists claimed they were beyond left and right. The Nazis claimed to incorporate “the best elements” from both right and left. It’s only since the end of WW2 that NS has been commonly referred to as a far-right ideology, and for good reason. But whether you consider yourselves “right-wing”, “left-wing”, both, or neither doesn’t make a difference. We both know what you stand for: a racially homogeneous society. I don’t care if you call it racialism, racial separatism, racial awareness, ethnocentrism, Eurocentrism, white nationalism, or whatever other nice labels you can come up with, it is what it is: racism.
2. You will never convince me that different races don’t go together and that mixing races leads to racial hatred and other problems. Unlike most “white nationalists” I met, who lived in sterile suburban environments, I live in a very racially mixed urban environment. To my experience, the more races mix, the less racism there is. People might be afraid of what seems alien to them at first, but they lose that fear very quickly once they mix.
3. Trust me, I have read what you have to say. While much of it is extremely dodgy to begin with, things get scary once you take a look at what people run that particular show and who they associate with. To quote my own blog entry “almost without exception, the people behind these scams are saddos who have begun their political careers in groups such as the British National Front and now opt for more subtle strategies to win broader support”. I’m not making this up because I’m a paranoid leftist “happy in my corner”. It’s the truth and nothing but the truth – I’ve checked who the “National Anarchists” in several European countries are, and I know. Don’t claim otherwise because I JUST KNOW, okay?
Don’t tell me you don’t march alongside neo-Nazis, even though you might publicly condemn their “authoritarianism”. They wouldn’t be associating with you if you weren’t one of them, particularly in how you embrace the same ideals when it comes to the issue of race, which is more central to your agenda than you wish to admit.
The “anarchist” and “environmentalist” components serve only an ornamental purpose. Some confused anarchists/leftists may be naive enough to fall for that, but thank fuck you haven’t been very successful so far.
4. I support miscogenation. I think races should mix until we all become green, blue and purple. If that doesn’t suit you, tough.
5. And since you’re using my comments section to provide links to racist websites, I thought I’d offer my readers a link to an excellent article I found that examines the National Anarchist “phenomenon” in detail:

There are also some National Anarchist groups acting in Sydney Australia, but they’re basically Jim Saleam’s boys. They took part in some protests recently which caused the anarchists to protest against the NA presence.
My particular problem is with those who claim to be National Socialists, their ideals are quite lulzy! http://www.nsm88.org/25points/25pointsengl.html
