American Fascist Organization Rallies To Support The Far-Right German-American Alliance
A German neo-Nazi organization has established a far-reaching international network which includes an American white supremacist group. Among the American group's main principles is that American identity includes an ethnic component embedded in a "nation state republic" devised by the forefathers. To disseminate its beliefs, the group emphasizes frequent and highly visible campaign marches and regular propaganda actions, which volunteer members visually document, compile, and produce. The volunteers are professionals in the field of videography. The German neo-Nazi group has reported on the American fascist organization since 2020 and cultivated a strong relationship with the group. This relationship resulted in members of the American fascist group participating in the German neo-Nazi organization's rallies in May.
The American fascist organization posted a photo collage of its members' attendance at the election campaign rally organized by the German neo-Nazi group. Flags of American white supremacists were hoisted alongside the flag of its German compatriots. The channel wrote: "[…] The march upheld the principles of repatriating foreign migrants, and combating the social and economic influence of national culture stemming from mass immigration. [German neo-Nazi organization] is a long-time supporter of [American fascist organization's] actions in service to the national cause. Both organizations respect both the similarities and unique qualities of each nation's movements for sovereignty."
