Neo-Nazism refers to any social or political movement to revive Nazism, which was a movement that reflected the beliefs of Adolf Hitler. Hitler was the leader of the National Socialist German Workers Party’s and of Nazi Germany from 1933 – 1945 serving as the Head of State, Chancellor of Germany, Head of Government and ruling as dictator. Although Hitler was raised in Austrian Catholic culture publicists Lanz von Liebenfels and politicians such as Karl Lueger and Georg Ritter von Schonerer influenced him, which formed his belief in the superiority of the “Aryan race”. Ideological Theory Hitler developed his political theories from the Austria-Hungary Empire, which is known as the Dual monarchy a multi-national Empire. Born a citizen of the Empire, he believed that the democracy was a destabilizing force because it placed the powers in the hands of ethnic minorities, which cause the Empire to become weak due to the ethnic, and linguist diversity. After the failure of World War I, Hitler gained popularity from the German Nationalists that were disgruntled from the lost war. Many Germans placed the blame of their defeat on the Jews and the communist, which became their ideal scapegoats to a German Nationalist ideology. Hitler’s Nazi theory claimed that the Aryan race is a master race, superior to all other races, that nationalism is the highest creation of race, and great nations (literally large nations) were the creation of great races. These nations developed cultures that naturally grew from races with “natural good health, and aggressive, intelligent, courageous traits.” The weakest nations, Hitler said were those of impure or mongrel races, because they have divided, quarrelling, and therefore weak cultures. Worst of all were seen to be the parasitic untermensch or Jews. [1] Hitler believed that the key to the United States success was its ethnic cleansing and relocation policies towards the Native Americans, which parallels the Lebensraum. Neo-Nazism in the United States In the USA, freedom of speech allows political organizations great latitude in expressing Nazi, racist or anti-Semitic ideology. The initial racism in the United States was based on the Western Cultural belief that “Whites” were superior to others. They were defined in large similarities of light pigmentation, which they perceived as a dominant factor over American Indians and African Americans who possessed different physical traits. The National Socialist Movement is the second largest neo-Nazi group in the country trailing the National Alliance. [2] The ideology is the “our world is hierarchical” and that the Aryan race is endowed by the nature with superior qualities. As the Alliance perceive that ‘nature’ is currently unable to take its course because of the “the sickness of ‘multiculturalism’ is destroying America, Britain and every other Aryan nation.” [3] The National Alliance’s racist vision extends its views on government, it decries “the growth of mass democracy”, including the enfranchisement of women and of non-whites, and favors a government that will reverse the racially devolutionary course of the last few millennia and keep it reversed and feminism is a threat to our race. [4] The National Socialist Movement descended from the Nazi Party of 1960’s while displaying their swastikas to no avail. They have grown tremendously over the years by recruiting young racist skinheads and other young white supremacist through paramilitary training, literature distribution, web sites, conferences and rallies. The Movement calls for a “greater America” that would deny citizens to Jews, nonwhites, and homosexuals. They were originated in the 1960’s by the George Lincoln Rockwell’s American Nazi Party, which was the first well-established neo-Nazi organization in America. Another nationally know group is the Ku-Klux-Klan (KKK) which is a capitalist group which was originated from the drastic change by the Northern Unionists, which now they stand more for white supremacy and separation views, which are similar to neo-Nazis. [5] These groups believe that African American, who survive on welfare; Jews, who secretly operate the New World Order; gays, who never work yet seem to have too much money; abortion providers, who profit from the murder of white children; and a corrupt government that does not recognize the rights of white citizens is the reason why they are unable to advance in modern society. While some groups known as white supremacy movements are linked to fundamentalist Christianity or Christian identity, they believe that white is the chosen race by God, and they use the Bible as there reference to this truth. They believe that if non-whites were not in the same society as them, they would prosper and become better citizens, they use this as their scapegoat for failures in society instead of trying to understand the different races, and they place blame of their misfortune on these them. Although neo-Nazism has not flourished in the United States there are many groups that exist besides the ones that have already been mentioned. In realist terms power is determined by wealth or capital means of production, whites

are dominant in our society and neo-Nazism continues to exist in our society.
