The New American Nazism

American Nazism seems to be this quiet beast that many are afraid to acknowledge. To recognize the existence of the ideology, for the average American, is to admit that some large subsection of American culture is in fact steeped in concepts of White Supremacy and racial violence. For many, this notion is rejected, and Nazism remains an abstract ideology associated with Germany and the Second World War. However, this could not be further from the truth.

For many, the image of American men marching over a Floridian overpass with Swastikas in tow is a strange, and conflicting view. But it is an image that is becoming far too common. Minds flash back to a time when Captain America comics were all about beating Nazis into the ground and saving the world. Veterans recount gun fights and war torn beaches, posthumous medals of honor for taking on German soldiers.
