Certainly idea is to regain power - a return to POWER

Supremacist
Nationalistic
Anti-immigrant - which they see as an excellent "pressure point" everywhere,
including America

Some general ideas ... and this from "the Beast Reawakens" by Martin A. Lee -
but not exact quotes --

Nazi/neo-fascism is described as a supervirus which constantly evolves --

Neofascists will distance themselves from historical image of fascism--

Their purposes are camouflaged as they embark on the quest for power --

Self-portrayal as ...
"Protectors of Western European culture"
"Economic prosperity -
as method of elbowing their way into mainstream

Collapse of Communism triggered neofascist resurgence to Northern Hemisphere --

Re America --
A vibrant democratic culture would withstand neofascism -
However, uncontrolled corporate power has stifled democratic process

American militias groups - "Hitler was for gun control"
Have not excluded Jews or people of color/therefore, not a reliable litmus test
Reinventing fascism in uniquely American way

NATIONAL RESURGENCE THRU VIOLENCE

Former Rep. Newt Gringrich stymied a much needed probe into right wing paramilitary activity --


Generally patriarchal, control over others, exploitation, anti-female, anti-labor --

Pretty much what you see in the GOP -- sexist, racist, homophobic -- on and on --


I'm not familiar with what is happening in Germany at this time, however, there still seems
to be reported "deep-rooted xenophobia" -
Chancellor Kohl financed a NYC tourism office where employees were ordered to discourage
Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asiatics from visiting Bonn Republic!

And, I think this is quite interesting . . .

The mass consumer culture is seen as a weakness in personalities with high dependency
needs and easily manipulated by commercial advertisers and political demagogues



See Odessa/Cedade/The org

I'd also recommend this book which I read some years ago -- and just happened to be looking
thru notes on it -- your library probably has it --



RE THE FINAL SOLUTION . . . I THINK YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THIS . . .

"Well, what do you really object to in my treatment of the Jews?
I have certainly been consistent -
I'm doing what the Catholic Church has already done for fifteen centuries --
The difference between the Church and me is that I am finishing the job --"


---Adolph Hitler/"Confronting anti-Semitism"
