This has been a most interesting thread. This world is muddled and befuddled in more ways than one. I tend to forget about Nazism today and its current efforts. I would have liked to believe that it is a thing of the past, and of course that is not true.

Just now I looked up the American Nazi Party- hoping I'd find that it has evaporated since its founder died, but not so. And now I have a further concern. It appears to me that the Nazi party in America and the BNP are not only in like spirit but are conceivably using the same tactics.

It seems that the British "Nationalist" Party is downplaying its reason for being, obviously hoping and planning to slide in under people's nazi-detecting radar screens, as flamenco ted implies: "It will be interesting to see how the BNP fare at the next election, if they continue their current policy of toning down the rhetoric and expelling some of their more extreme members."

The ANP says this: "...we recognize the fact that behaving in the manner of past activities, little progress has been achieved for our Cause. That is why we have taken a new direction. In the American Nazi Party, you will find no uniforms or ranks, we do not engage in publicly exposing our Comrades to undo publicity through pointless and dangerous Rallies or Marches. We instead stress Small Cell, and Individual Activism as the path for which to build our Movement, as securely and in a responsible manner as possible.

"We are looking for Men and Women, who are willing to sacrifice for the Good of the Folk, not people who are looking for aggrandizement, titillation, or simply causing undirected and useless mayhem. This is not a game or a gang."

As if we didn't have enough worries.
