WORLDWIDE HEROS OF NATIONALISM - PART FOUR.

ADRIEN ARCAND

Adrien Arcand (1899 – August 2, 1967), was a McGill University educated Montreal journalist, federalist and self-proclaimed Canadian führer. Arcand led a series of far right political movements in the 1930s and 1940s.

Arcand published and edited several anti-Semitic newspapers during this period, most notably Le Goglu, Le Miroir, and Le Chameau. He received covert funds from the leader of the Canadian Conservative Party Richard Bedford Bennett (who was Prime Minister of Canada from 1930 to 1935) to operate his newspapers and propagate antisemitism. In 1934, he established the Parti national social chrétien (National Social Christian Party), which advocated anti-communism and the deportation of Canadian Jews to Hudson Bay, an idea that was inspired by his friend, noted British Rhodesian fascist Henry Hamilton Beamish, who suggested sending the Jews to Madagascar. Even then, Bennett secretly hired Arcand as his chief electoral organiser in Quebec for the 1935 federal election.

In 1938, Arcand was chosen leader of the federalist/fascist National Unity Party of Canada, born of the fusion of his Parti National Social Chrétien with the prairie provinces’ Canadian Nationalist Party and Ontario’s Nationalist Party, which itself grew out of the Toronto Swastika Clubs of the early thirties. Arcand was always a staunch federalist and an anglophile. He received secret funds from Lord Sydenham, former governor of Bombay and a prominent fascist sympathizer in the British Conservative Party. He also maintained correspondence with Arnold Spencer Leese, chief of The Imperial Fascist League. Arcand’s party statutes called for the following oath to be taken at the beginning of every party meeting:

Moved by the unshakable faith in God, a profound love for Canada, ardent sentiments of patriotism and nationalism, a complete loyalty and devotion toward our Gracious Sovereign who forms the recognized Moved by the unshakable faith in God, a profound love for Canada, ardent sentiments of patriotism and nationalism, a complete loyalty and devotion toward our Gracious Sovereign who forms the recognized principle of active authority, a complete respect for the British North America Act, for the maintenance of order, for national prosperity, for national unity, for national honour, for the progress and the happiness of a greater Canada, I pledge solemnly and explicitly to serve my party. I pledge myself to propagate the principles of its program. I pledge myself to follow its regulation. I pledge myself to obey my leaders. Hail the party! Hail our Leader!

Arcand always was steadfastly opposed to Quebec nationalism. He wanted to build a powerful centralized Canadian Fascist state within the British Empire.

Arcand insists that his organisation has no sympathy with the extreme French nationalist movement represented by the group which split from Premier Duplessis, after he was returned to power because he would not go all the way they wished. "We were the first in Quebec to fight Separatism," Arcand declares, "and we are carrying on that fight very satisfactorily, swallowing many ex-members of that failing movement." Frankly, the National Social Christian Party is aiming for Dominion power, Arcand admits, describing Dominion power as the real key to the vital problems of this country.2

On May 30, 1940, he was arrested in Montreal for "plotting to overthrow the state" and interned for the duration of the war as a security threat. His party, then called the National Union Party, was banned. In the internment camp, he sat on a throne built by other prisoners and spoke of how he would rule Canada when Hitler conquered it.

Arcand ran for the Canadian House of Commons on two occasions. Despite being shunned by mainstream Quebecers in the post-war years, he managed to come in second with 29 per cent of the vote when he ran as a National Unity candidate in the riding of Richelieu—Verchères in the 1949 federal election . He came in second again with 39 per cent of the vote when he ran as a "Nationalist in Berthier—Maskinongé—delanaudière in the 1953 election.

Arcand never wavered in his belief in Adolf Hitler, and, in the 1960s, was a mentor to Ernst Zündel, who became a prominent Holocaust denier and neo-Nazi propagandist in the latter part of the 20th century.

On November 14, 1965, he gave a speech before a crowd of 900 partisans from all over Canada at the Centre Paul-Sauvé in Montreal. As reported in La Presse and Le Devoir, he took the occasion to thank the newly-elected Liberal Member of Parliament for Mount Royal, Pierre Trudeau, and former Conservative leader George Drew, for speaking in his defence when he was interned. However, both Trudeau and Drew denied that they had ever defended Arcand, or his views, and insisted that they had in fact been defending the principle of free speech even for fascists. Trudeau also denied later rumours - for which no evidence has been uncovered - that he and Arcand had once been members together of a secret Rosicrucian Order.

José Antonio Primo de Rivera

Life

José Antonio Primo de Rivera was the oldest son of General Miguel Primo de Rivera, who was prime minister and dictator during the reign of King Alfonso XIII of Spain from 1923 until 1930. In 1933, he founded Falange Española ("Spanish Phalanx"), a nationalist party inspired by the Fascist ideology. In 1934 his party merged with Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista, forming the Falange Española de las Juntas de Ofensiva Nacional-Sindicalista under his leadership. In the general election in 1936, Falange won only 0.7% of the votes, but in the unstable political situation that emerged after the victory of the Popular Front (a coalition of various left-wing political organisations such as communists and socialists with liberal republicans like the Radicals), the party grew rapidly and by July of 1936 it had more than 40,000 members. Primo de Rivera was a supporter of the military uprising in July 1936 against the left-wing republican government, and during the Spanish Civil War the Falange became the dominant political movement of the Spanish National-syndicalists (the right-wing umbrella opposition against Popular Front government of the Republic). He was captured on the 6th July 1936, and held in captivity in Alicante until tried by a Popular Front of communists and anarchists. Sentenced to death, he was executed on 20th November. [edit] His relevance for Franco's regime Francisco Franco's Spanish government formed a cult of personality around Primo de Rivera. After his arrest by Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War, his Falangist supporters called him "El Ausente," a Spanish expression meaning "the Absent One" to symbolize his importance as a leader of the Nationalist forces, despite his absence. After he had been executed in prison, he was called "martyr of the Crusade" (against Bolshewism) by his supporters. Despite this, his execution arguably spared Franco a strong political adversary for the post-war period, since Franco had had so far a rather low-profile career in the military, while Primo de Rivera was much more charismatic and with a higher degree of education. In this regard, Primo de Rivera was a germanophile with a strong and consistent Fascist ideology, which, amongst other aspects, was definitely anti-monarchic, while Franco was primarily an anti-communist with a definitely clerical stance and lacked any clear position regarding the monarchy. During the Francoist régime, there was a plate on the outer wall of every parish, naming local soldiers and civilians killed by the republicans who died during the war (Caídos por Dios y por España, "Fallen for God and Spain"). Primo de Rivera's name was the first on every plate. In that period of history, an often used political slogan of the Falange party and its various branches to commemorate the civil war was "Jose Antonio presente!", which could be translated "I, Jose Antonio, am present!" as well as "We are ready, Jose Antonio!"[1] Primo de Rivera's sister, Pilar Primo de Rivera, founded the Sección Femenina, the female branch of Falange. The Sección Femenina aimed to make the Spanish women conform to prevailing conservative Catholic social traditions at the time. An upwards shot of the Valle de los Caídos An upwards shot of the Valle de los Caídos Franco ordered the building of the Valle de los Caídos mausoleum, where Primo de Rivera's corpse lies now. On November 20, 1975, Franco died, and his corpse was buried beside Primo de Rivera's. The 20th of November remains a symbolic date for the Spanish far-right because of the deaths of Primo de Rivera and Franco himself. The last statue left in Spain of Primo de Rivera was removed from Guadalajara in March 2005, after the Socialist government of José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero decided it was not suitable.

LEON DEGRELLE – A GOOD EUROPEAN

by Constantin von Hoffmeister

In the middle of World War II, Leon Degrelle, born in 1906 in the small Belgian town of Bouillon, joined 600,000 other non-German volunteers to participate in the battles on the Eastern Front. After enduring severe hardships and having been wounded several times, Degrelle became the commander of a Waffen-SS division, the "Legion Wallonie." In 1941 Hitler approved of national divisions to be raised as antibolshevist units participating in the struggle against Communism in each country of Western Europe, as well as among the populations of the Axis countries, such as Croatia, Spain and Italy. Despite the past efforts of Napoleon, the Waffen-SS represented the first true pan-European army to ever exist. The monumental struggle of this army is described in Degrelle's famous epic "Campaign in Russia," which earned him fame in Europe to such an extent that he has been labeled the "Homer of the Twentieth Century."

Degrelle himself said about the Waffen-SS:

If the Waffen-SS had not existed, Europe would have been overrun entirely by the Soviets by 1944. They would have reached Paris long before the Americans. […] Without SS resistance the Soviets would have been in Normandy before General Dwight David Eisenhower. The people showed deep gratitude to the young men who sacrificed their lives. Not since the great religious orders of the Middle Ages had there been such selfless idealism and heroism. In this century of materialism, the SS stand out as a shining light of spirituality. I have no doubt whatever that the sacrifices and incredible feats of the Waffen-SS will have their own epic poets like Schiller. Greatness in adversity is the distinction of the SS.

Degrelle did not know at the time that he himself would become the epic chronicler of the incredible feats of the Waffen-SS.

Degrelle was already 35 years old when he joined the Wehrmacht along with other Walloon volunteers. After his contingent had been involved in numerous battles with considerable success, Reichsfuehrer-SS Heinrich Himmler was persuaded to incorporate the Walloons into the Waffen-SS. In 1944 Degrelle was highly decorated (including the Oak Leaves to the Knights Cross).

Degrelle was a friend and close associate of Adolf Hitler and a propaganda image among National Socialists for promoting their cause among foreigners. He became the most famous foreign volunteer in the entire German army, working his way up through the ranks from private to general.
Degrelle was able to get to know the most striking personalities of the Twentieth Century: Mussolini invited Degrelle to Rome, Churchill saw him in London and Hitler received him in Berlin. He was also a great visionary himself. At the end of World War One he already had the strong desire to win over his people and shape their destiny. Less than thirty years old, Degrelle was already deeply entrenched in the great struggle that would eventually shape the fate of Europe.

In 1918 Degrelle became the leader of the Rexists (after Christus Rex), a political party closely associated with Fascism and National Socialism, but essentially a movement of Christian renewal. After all, Degrelle was a devout Catholic. The Rexist reforms were aimed at creating social justice – the pillar of peace in a nation -, and strength within a system of collectivism. The argument was that an individual should always strive to work for the benefit of the whole. Rexism understood itself as being democratic and authoritarian with a strong social and moral character.
Degrelle realized that the outbreak of World War II could only lead to a socio-political renewal of Europe, especially since the struggle was directed against the inhumane system of Communism. It would become a battle of good versus evil, freedom versus oriental despotism.

After the collapse of National Socialist Germany, Degrelle fled to Norway where he boarded a plane with which he flew over Allied-occupied Europe, only to crash land in Spain. After the war, the Belgian government condemned Degrelle to death in absentia on charges of treason. The Spanish government under General Francisco Franco refused to extradite him. Leon Degrelle died in Malaga, Spain on April 1, 1994 at the age of 87.

"We are the true democrats ... Rex is the realm of total souls, which do not bargain, which march straight ahead, certain of the road. This is the true Rexist miracle; this faith, this unspoiled, burning confidence, this complete lack of selfishness and individualism, this tension of the whole being towards the service -- however ungrateful, no matter where, no matter how -- of a cause which transcends the individual, demanding all, promising nothing." – Leon Degrelle

WORLDWIDE HEROS OF NATIONALISM - PART ONE.

Today I would like to begin my series of nationalist, white nationalist, and national socialist heroes. This is about heroes of the past, and has no bearing on those who put so much into our efforts today and for tomorrow.
---------------------------------

QUISLING!

The first hero of the past I would like to write about is Vidkun Quisling of Norway.
Early life

Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling, born Telemark Norway 18th July 1887, son of a Church of Norway Pastor. When Quisling was still in his early teens, he was known for having a flair for mathematics, and he sent in corrections to a national mathematical textbook. Impressed by the age of the boy, the editors made the corrections, and included his name and some adulation as encouragement for other young boys to pay attention to their mathematics. Such was the Jewish inspired “hatred” associated with his name after the war that all editions since have kept the corrections and adulation but changed all references to his name to 'en gutt' ('a boy').

His early life was varied and successful; he became the country's best war-academy cadet upon graduation in 1911, and achieved the rank of major in the Norwegian army. He worked with Fridtjof Nansen in the Soviet Union during the famine of the 1920s. For his services in looking after British interests after having broken diplomatic relations with the Bolshevik government, Great Britain awarded him the CBE (which was later revoked due to Zionist control of the UK government and Royal Family).

Nasjonal Samling Party

The political party ”Nasjonal Samling” (National Unity) was formed in Oslo on the 17th May 1933, with Major Vidkun Quisling as leader, and State Attorney Johan Bernhard Hjort as second leader. At that time, Quisling was 46 years old, and Hjort was 38. This party was quite different than the other Norwegian political Parties at that time, and very clearly based its politics on a ”leader” (fører) system, quite far from the democratic standards in Norway.

The N.S Party Program clearly stated the abolition of all political parties; only one was to exist: N.S.

Vidkun Quisling was a remarkable person, with visions that only seldom fitted the real life. He had worked together with the famous Frithjof Nansen in Soviet, during the famine in the 1930´s, and had a reputation for being an intelligent, quiet and hard-working man. He saw himself as a philosopher, and created a new philosophy: the Universism. This was a strong mixture of spiritual and ideological elements: the Individual was to find personal salvation and freedom in a close co-operation between inner meditation, God and the Society. Quisling even made plans for a world-wide organization: The World Univerism League.
He had also served as Minister of Defense in the Agrarian Government 1931-33.


Symbols and expressions within N.S were taken from Norwegian Viking traditions. The main N.S symbol was an encircled Golden Cross on red background, the “St. Olav´s Cross”.

The party was organized in a ”National Organization” (Riksorganisasjon), a Woman Organization, (NS Kvinneorganisasjon), a Combat Organization (NS Kamporganisasjon), a Youth Organization, (Nasjonal Samlings Ungdoms-Fylking – NSUF) and the Hird. The latter was to be the hard-core political uniformed storm troops of NS, and equivalent to the German S.A.
The first Hird Commander (Rikshirdsjef) was J.B Hjort, later succeeded by Captain Oliver Møystad. Col. Konrad Sundlo periodically acted as a stand-in.

During the elections in 1933, Nasjonal Samling had a co-operation with the Farmers Aid organisation, (Bydgefolkets Krisehjelp), and they two finally got 27 850 votes. This was quite a huge number, since N.S only had existed for 4 months. At the county elections in 1934, N.S continued their success, especially in Stavanger where the local leader Gulbrand Lunde, a young and popular politician, finally collected 2558 votes for the Party.

In the early days, Nasjonal Samling was deeply religiously rooted, and gained relatively huge support from both the Church and the religious parts of the population. As the party grew more militant from 1935, the pro-German and anti-Semitic section of the Party got more power, and N.S lost most of their influence in the Church.
*
At the elections in 1936 N.S only got 26 577 votes. This was one of the reasons to the bitter conflict between Quisling and Hjort; the latter finally left the party together with several prominent members, as Hjort had many followers. From now on, Nasjonal Samling clearly moved from being a Party to getting more like a sect.

In the early days, N.S had a very distinct Nordic profile, and in many ways gave an impression of wanting to revive the ancient Viking regime in Norway. The Party hardly had a foreign policy at all, even If Quisling did attend the Italian-led “International Fascists Convention” in Montreaux in 1935, together with colleagues like Anton Mussert, Frits Clausen and Oswald Mosley.” Soon, members who admired Mussolini´s Italian fascist regime, and even Hitler’s Germany, showed a clear Germanic attitude. Quisling, who saw himself more a Prophet than a politician, hardly ever participated in debates or discussions. He mostly communicated in writing. This absence of leadership made National Samling a party of intrigues and rivalry at the costs of effectiveness.

The number of members in N.S is very difficult to estimate. A research by Bergen University in 1976, stated that only 2000 remained as members after the German invasion on the 9th April 1940. This number is, however, regarded as far to low in other researches. After the Invasion, the number of members grew to an estimate of 50 000, with an additional 6000 from NSUF. The number might even have been as high as 60 000.

During 1944-45, some members left the Party, and some were excluded, but in no large numbers.

Nasjonal Samling had a political program, which clearly was Nationalist to the extreme, and it also became more and more influenced by the German N.S.D.A.P. However, in the Party program dated 1937, Quisling stated that Nasjonal Samling had nothing to do with N.S.D.A.P, and the NS-newspapers denied all accusations of a racial based politics. N.S was, as quoted, a ”Deeply rooted Norwegian, National, Spiritual and Christian movement.”. Quisling often even stated that he had inspired Hitler to crate his ideology, since Quisling had created his political philosophy as early as in 1917-18.

*
The first ad hoc government, which Quisling suprisingly announced on the chaotic day of 9th April 1940, came as a surprise, and the statement shocked both the Germans as the Norwegian population. Actually it did even shock most members of the Government, as most were unaware of Quislings plans. It proved short-lived – and lasted only for five days.

Quisling never impressed the Germans, but had some support too: Alfred Rosenberg was enthusiastic about him, and prominent members of the German Navy, like Admiral Raeder also supported Quisling. This, together with Quislings personal appearance, made the relationship between the German leader in Norway, Reichskommisar Joseph Terboven and Quisling extremely bad.

Quisling pronounced his ”National Government” during two radio speeches on the evening of 9th April 1940.

Their fate after WW2.

During the Trials after the war, members of the NS Government got the following sentences:
Quisling, Hagelin and Skancke: death penalty. The latter, executed in August 1948 at the age of 58, was one of the last to get shot in Norway after receiving death penalty.
*
Stang, Lippestad, Fuglesang, Hustad, Meidell and Whist: lifetime imprisonment.
*
Fretheim, von Hirsch, Skarphagen, Vassbotten and Blehr: 20 years imprisonment.
*
Irgens: 15 years imprisonment
Lie died of unknown reasons on the same day that the Germans surrendered, and Riisnæs was institutionalised due to insanity. Released from the Hospital in the 60´s, he spent most of the seventies in Italy and Vienna, and finally died in Oslo,1987.

The last N.S prisoner was released in November 1957.

46 085 members of N.S got sentenced, and about 23 000 of them were imprisoned. 4800 of these were so-called “Frontfighters” (Frontkjempere).
90 000 individuals were investigated.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by a respected nationalist.

I've been involved in the so-called "right-wing" for a number of years now, but when I step back and look at our so-called movement, especially more recently, I can't help saying to myself, "Why am I surrounded by so many 'misfits'?"

I'm sure that if you are honest, you would have to agree with me, so let's go back to the Third Reich and look at the differences between then and now. Then, the people who flocked to the National Socialist cause, were young idealists fighting for what they believed in: their race and their nation. Self-sacrifice was commonplace and heroism was an everyday occurrence, both before the victory in 1933 when the Brownshirts fought the reds, losing over 25,000 men in the streets alone, and afterwards on the battlefields of World War 2 when legions of men from every European nation were decimated time and time again in the Crusade for Europe.

You just can not compare these men with the dregs that call themselves "right-wingers" today. National Socialists then were the elite of our race, the cream of European youth. Most of the so-called "right-wingers" around today wouldn't have been fit to dig the latrine pits for the Waffen SS yet they claim to represent the White race and declare themselves to be the so-called vanguard.

Why is there such a difference I hear you ask? The problem now is that since the war, pro-White groups have been desperate for the numbers and will accept absolutely anyone just because they're White and call themselves racists. It doesn't matter what sort of lowlife they are as long as they are "our way". Quite simply, the Nationalist organisations that exist at the moment will accept anyone. The only condition of membership they seem to have is the ability to pay an annual subscription.

Obviously not everyone on the so-called "right-wing" falls short of the high standards of the past: there are people out there who believe in our cause and are willing to stand up and fight for it but let's take a look at some of the "problem cases" who are attracted to movements like ours so you will be able to recognise them and then deal with them effectively.

1) The cowards: these unfortunately make up the bulk of the right-wing. Blokes who are nothing by themselves join up to be part of a gang, give it the right large one when they are at a Nationalist event, sticking the boot in when the numbers are on our side but in reality are the sort of blokes who would watch a couple of spades push in front of them in a queue and do nothing about it, just look away. You all know the sort; without the beer for "Dutch courage" they're nothing.

2) The inadequates and losers: again the "right" is full of these types. They join because no-one else will have them. They don't fit into any mainstream groups and so they turn to the groups that accept anyone - the "right-wing" - where they have instant friends and drinking buddies.

3) Faggots: because of the nature of the movement, which is comprised of a lot of young blokes, queers tend to be attracted to it for deviant reasons. Some of these perverts will claim to be racist but don't be fooled by this: they are nothing more than subhuman degenerates. Most of the faggots who worm their way into Nationalist organisations often find themselves being very quickly booted out - quite literally.

4) Passing-trade: these are people who suddenly appear in the movement out of nowhere, have a short burst of activism, and then disappear as quickly as they arrived. These people may just be looking for a new experience - something different to the mundanity of their everyday lives - or they may be among us for more sinister purposes. Whatever the reason, they are a complete waste of space and should never be trusted.

5) The sickos and wierdos: these are the sort of freaks who believe in the Hitler=Evil equation that is spread by the media. These types are usually involved in "Satanism", cults, paedophilia, you name it. Luckily these people are very few in number but always prove to be the most embarrassing when they are exposed in the press etc, and we are all then tarred with the same brush. These people do not belong among us; if they hadn't infiltrated the "right-wing" they would probably be in some sort of cult. Our enemies love deviants such as these (often because they share the same interests) and will often encourage them to join us.

6) Drunks: mentally, these people are among the weakest specimens of humanity. They are in their element in the "right wing" because most of it is just a big drinking club.

So there it is: you may not want to hear it but it's true. The "right wing" accepts anyone and everyone - it has NO standards. We set ourselves up as though we are better than everyone else and talk about the general population as though they are all scum. Well the truth is that, percentage-wise, we most probably have far more scumbags in our midst than exist in the so-called "non-racist" general population.

The "right-wing" has a choice to make: either it cleans up its act and introduces some standards to ensure the quality of its recruits or it carries on being a freak-show for the liberals to laugh at on the TV. Personally, I don't want it to be the latter and I doubt if you do. It's up to all you decent activists out there to make a stand and help clean up the movement. If that means a significant drop in numbers then so be it. It is far better to have a small but hard core of decent, clean-living, committed activists than a sprawling membership of inadequates.

2008 Red White & Blue!

Just been speaking to one of my mates from the Covert Undercover Nuisance Tactics. Seems like all the boasting by the red scum this weekend was what it always turns out to be, bull plop. All the so called "UAF" did this past weekend, was annoy the good people of a normally peaceful part of the lovely Derbyshire countryside, and show a rural community something we nationalists already knew about. Indeed many local people will now know exactly who the real fascists are. But the best laugh of the day was saved for the brave "super radicle" class warriors of Antifa. Their attempt at sneaking up on the festival goers came to a screaming halt when they realised they were totally out of their depth, maybe there was a puddle? So scared of the prospect of having to confront real men in the middle of a field, they stood up and surrendered themselves and their weapons to thye police.

STRASSERISM!

Beware of the Reds in nationalism!

Ever since the National Socialist revolution in Germany, during the 1930’s and 40’s, a plague has ripped through the movement opposing every creditable and influential leader. Their opposition to everyone, from Adolf Hitler in Nazi Germany to John Tyndall in Zionist Great Britain continues to this day. The Nationalist Support Group does not and never will approve of, nor encourage such divisionary machinations. This position will never change, and is just one of many reasons why the NSG will forever reserve the right to refuse any kind of membership or affiliation to any person without stated reason or explanation. Below is a couple of articles taken from Wikipedia which explain the beginning of Strasserism in Germany and how it infested the Nationalist movement in Great Britain. It still does to this day, albeit with much lower a profile leadership, relying on the dregs of the movement along with a handful of Nazi uniform fetishists. The main culprit for the red infestation of Nationalism was the younger of the two brothers, Otto Strasser, and in recognition of this I will concentrate specifically on him.

Otto Strasser

Otto Strasser (1897-1974) had also been a member of the Freikorps, but went on to join the SPD and fought against the Kapp putsch. However he joined the Nazi Party in 1925, but nonetheless retained his ideas about the importance of socialism. Considered more of a radical than his brother, Otto Strasser was expelled by the Nazi Party in 1930 and set up his own dissident group, the Black Front, which called for a specifically German nationalist form of socialist revolution. He fled Germany in 1933 to live in Czechoslovakia and Canada before returning to West Germany in later life, all the while writing prolifically about Hitler and what he saw as his betrayal of national socialist ideals.


Strasserism

The name Strasserism came to be applied to this form of Nazism that developed around the brothers. Although they had been involved in the creation of the National Socialist Program of 1920, both called on the party to commit to 'breaking the shackles of finance capital'.[1] This opposition to "Jewish finance capitalism," which they contrasted to "productive capitalism," was shared by Adolf Hitler himself, who borrowed it from Gottfried Feder.[2]

This populist and antisemitic form of anti-Capitalism was further developed in 1925 when Otto Strasser published the Nationalsozialistische Briefe, which discussed notions of class conflict, wealth redistribution and a possible alliance with the Soviet Union. His 1930 follow-up Ministersessel oder Revolution ('Cabinet Seat or Revolution') went further by attacking Hitler's betrayal of the purported socialist aspect of Nazism, as well as criticizing the notion of Führerprinzip.[3] Whilst Gregor Strasser echoed many of the calls of his brother, his influence on the ideology is less, due to his remaining in the Nazi Party longer and to his early death. Otto, meanwhile, continued to expand his argument, calling for the break-up of large estates and the development of something akin to a guild system and the related establishment of a Reich cooperative chamber to take a leading role in economic planning.[4]

Strasserism, therefore, became a distinct strand of neo-Nazism that, whilst holding on to previous Nazi ideals such as militant nationalism and anti-Semitism, added a strong critique of capitalism and framed this in the demand for a more "socialist-based" approach to economics.

It is disputed, however, if Strasserism effectively represented a distinct form of Nazism, or not. According to historian Ian Kershaw, "the leaders of the SA [which included Gregor Strasser] did not have another vision of the future of Germany or another politic to propose." But they advocated the radicalization of the Nazi regime, and the toppling of the German elites, calling Hitler's rise to power a "half-revolution," which needed to be completed.[5]

Strasserism in the UK

Strasserism emerged in the United Kingdom in the early 1970s and centered around the National Front publication Britain First, the main writers of which were David McCalden, Richard Lawson and Denis Pirie. Opposing the leadership of John Tyndall, they formed an alliance with John Kingsley Read and ultimately followed him into the National Party.[9] The NP called for British workers to "seize the right to work" and offered a fairly Strasserite economic policy.[10] Nonetheless, the NP failed to last for very long. Due in part to Read's lack of enthusiasm for Strasserism, the main exponents of the idea drifted away.

The idea was reintroduced to the NF by Andrew Brons in the early 1980s when he decided to make the party's ideology clearer.[11] However Strasserism was soon to become the province of the radicals in the Official National Front, with Richard Lawson brought in in a behind the scenes role to help direct policy.[12]. Ultimately this Political Soldier wing opted for the indigenous alternative of distributism, but nonetheless their strong anti-capitalist rhetoric, as well as that of their International Third Position successor, demonstrated influences of Strasserism. From this background Troy Southgate emerged, whose own ideology and those of related groups such as the English Nationalist Movement and National Revolutionary Faction were influenced by Strasserism.

The Strasserites of today are made up almost entirely of fringe group wannabe “leaders”, and the rejects of the larger or “mainstream” nationalist organisations. They are typically very loud, and very fast and loose with their accusations against the majority of other Nationalists. Without the use of the internet these freaks would simply fade into the background where they belong. It is my personal opinion that they should be starved of the oxygen of their own self importance, and ignored totally.

On Religion.

"For a people's religion should come out of its
own blood. It should be its own innermost soul
made manifest, the elevation before its eyes
of its own hopes and dreams, of all the lessons
it has learned through its own immemorial
experience."

'Which Way Western Man' Chap. IIIb, p. 84
