What is Neo-Nazism?
NEO-NAZISM, a general term for the related fascist, nationalist,
white supremacist, anti semitic beliefs and political tendencies of
the numerous groups that emerged after World War II seeking to
restore the Nazi order or to establish a new order based on
doctrines similar to those underlying Nazi Germany. Some of these
groups closely adhered to the ideas propounded in Hitler's Mein
Kampf; others espoused related beliefs deriving from older
Catholic, nationalist, or other local traditions. Some openly
embraced the structure and aspirations of the Nazi Germany by
displaying swastika flags and glorifying Nazi achievements, while
others sought to mask their ideology and agenda. Neo-Nazi
activity has surged and declined in unpredictable waves in
Germany, France, England, Russia, the Scandinavian countries,
the United States, Canada, South Africa, and elsewhere. In April
1993, after a series of incidents, the Italian government passed an
emergency measure aimed at punishing racial, ethnic, and
religious discrimination. The Mancino Law (Law No. 205) permits
prosecution of individuals who incite violence using a broad range
of methods, including displaying symbols of hate, such as
swastikas. Hundreds of youths have since been convicted under
the law. In February 2005, European Union ministers agreed to
continue a long-term debate over the regulation of racism and
xenophobia. Among the proposals under consideration is making it
punishable by law to deny the Holocaust or other crimes against
humanity.
Neo-Nazism consists of post-World War II social or political
movements seeking to revive Nazism. The term neo-Nazism can
also refer to the ideology of these movements.
Neo-Nazism borrows elements from Nazi doctrine, including
militant nationalism, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, and anti
semitism. Holocaust denial is a common feature, as is
incorporation of Nazi symbols and admiration of Adolf Hitler. It is
related to the white nationalist and white power skinhead
movements in many countries.
Neo-Nazi activity appears to be a global phenomenon, with
organized representation in many countries, as well as
international networks. Some European and Latin American
countries have laws prohibiting the expression of pro-Nazi, racist,
anti-Semitic or anti-homosexual views. Many Nazi-related symbols
are banned in European countries in an effort to curtail neo-
Nazism.
Neo-Nazis commonly use the swastika and other Nazi symbols.
Unstable economic, social, and political conditions are a
contributing factor in the rise of Neo-Nazism. Just as Hitler was
able to leverage post-WWI depression to his advantage, so too do
these recruiters use a poor climate to make their proposed plans
seem appealing.
Why do people become neo-Nazis?
In the 1980s, social scientists began to move beyond notions of
deviance and psychopathology to theories of social mobilization
that see people who join any social movement even neo-Nazis
as motivated by shared grievances shaped by social
circumstances, recruited by face-to-face interaction, and focused
on goals that seem practical and reachable. The Neo-Nazis are
people today that still believe in Hitler's ideologies. Hitler came to
power in the 1930's.He used the power to confine Jews and
several other racial and religious groups to forced Labor camps,
where they were starved. The agenda of Nazi's Fascism (what
today's neo-Nazi groups aim to build) was a mass movement,
mainly based on the middle classes. It aimed at smashing
democratic rights, particularly working class organisations, and
protecting the power of big business. Fascist regimes came to
power in Italy in 1922, in Germany in 1933 and in other European
countries afterwards. Today Neo-Nazis, tend to belong to hate
groups and commit hate crimes. They will deny that the Holocaust
ever happened, in order to convince more people to support them.
They hate Jews, black people, the disabled and homosexuals. If
they are in a powerful position at their jobs, they might practice
discrimination, only hiring straight, non-Jewish, non-disabled white
people.
JAPAN:
Japan was a main member of the Axis Powers (or how the US
renamed them Axis of Evil) who signed the Tripartite Pact. Hitler
called the Japanese Aryans of the East which is
true.Currently,the Japanese are highly advanced people with a
very complex life-style, advanced technology and its one of the
countries with the highest IQ on the planet. Even though the
Japanese are members of the Mongoloid (Asian) race, Japanese
peoples skin color is pure white.They also belong to the Aryan
race. Its not the typical yellow color like that of the average
Asian. It has been discovered recently that Nazism fascinates
some Japanese people and that they would like to revive it if
possible. They also have a Nazi Political Party in Japan, called
NSJAP.
In 1945 George Braziller published Michael Sayers and Albert E. Kahns The Plot
Against the Peace, which documents, in chapter 6, the nazi doctrines explicitly
defined policy of xenophobia and racial genocide against the Slavic peoples and the
Jews:
By the end of World War II, in addition to the six million Jews exterminated by the
Nazis, approximately 30 million Soviet citizens had been exterminated, only one third
of whom had been soldiers.
Former United States Justice Department Attorney John Loftus, in Americas Nazi
Secret, ( Trine Day Press, 2010), describes this process in the town of Borissow,
near Minsk, typical of the genocidal policies executed throughout Nazi occupied
Europe, and throughout the Soviet Union. On page 27 he writes:
The events described above, replicated throughout Europe, in the murders of more
than 30 million people, describe Nazism, a doctrine so abhorrent that any attempt to
legitimize it is to legalize slavery and genocide. Yet, this year, 2011, twenty-two
members of the United Nations, including the United Kingdom, the United States,
Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, France, Georgia,
Hungary, the Czech Republic, Albania, Belgium, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, voted to
legalize the Nazi doctrine that perpetrated mass slavery and genocide of Jews and
Slavs and numerous other groups the Nazis deemed inferior races.
Even more remarkable in the voting record, is the consistency with which Iran, Syria
and the Democratic Republic of Korea have voted together with Israel, year after
year, after year to oppose the rehabilitation and glorification of Nazism, the Nazi past
and neo-Nazism.
It is indeed remarkable that the very same states that voted to permit the restoration
of Nazism voted the following week to condemn Syria for human rights abuses. The
appalling and willful indifference of 22 developed countries indeed their
condoning the horrors of Nazism, probably the worst scourge of atrocities in the
history of the human species, must be considered the grossest hypocrisy when these
same 22 countries sanctimoniously condemn Syria for human rights violations. If
these 22 states tolerate the revival of Nazism, by what standard do they condemn
Syria? Further, together with Israel, Iran voted to support A/66/460, prohibiting the
resurrection of Nazi doctrine. Iran voted to oppose that very same Nazism which
exterminated the entire population of Jews in Europe and the Soviet Union.
