THEY burn crosses, worship the swastika and associate with figures in white hoods, but don’t tell America’s predominant neo-Nazi party it’s racist.
“We are not racist, and I do not like that term,” Jeff Schoep tells news.com.au.
The commander of the National Socialist Movement — described as the party “for every patriotic white American” — has a brand new reason to protest the point.
His party is about to do something it has never done. It is making a run at the mainstream, and it is even banning the swastika. Gone. Banished from uniforms that haven’t changed since the 1960s, well before the commander joined the ranks as a 19-year-old.
In a statement on the NSM website earlier this month, Mr Schoep called it a “slight re-branding”.
“Your party platform remains the same, your party remains unchanged, it is a cosmetic overhaul only,” he wrote.
But let’s be clear, it is so much more than a rebranding. Towards the end of his announcement, Mr Schoep made one last ominous statement.
“Our time to rise is now.”
Mr Schoep knows the world is changing. He watched as Brexit revealed a seething underbelly of resentment towards outsiders. As Donald Trump swept to the most powerful position in the free world on a platform littered with policies spruiked by the NSM and the KKK.
Even in Australia, there’s change. Pauline Hanson’s One Nation gathered up Senate seats in August despite a significant percentage of Australians bemoaning her position on foreigners.
But nobody wants a neo-Nazi in the halls of parliament. That’s a step too far, according to Mr Schoep. The Odal rune, a less-well-known Nazi Germany symbol, will take the place of the swastika on all official uniforms and banners.
Mr Schoep says it’s a gentler approach to preaching the same messages.
