Two young Muslim men murdered a young active duty soldier by running him down with a car and then hacking him to death with machetes and cleavers.
Neo-Nazi, White Nationalist, and Far-Right groups are attempting to capitalize on the event.
Fox News has recently had the Neo-Nazi EDL's leader on its programs, and spoke in support of him.
Here, I discuss the far-right in Britain, with hopes that by learning from mistakes made by the UK Establishment, we can prevent a similar rise here in the United States.
In this lengthy post, I will cover each of these organizations, and discuss how they are attempting to capitalize from the recent terror attack.
A boilerplate disclaimer, I quote Nazis in their own words in this diary. Some wouldn't appreciate being called Nazis, and some deny that they are, but I think if you read what they have to say it will be clear exactly who they are and what they stand for. I, of course, oppose these people, but it's important to have the primary sources available. It's important to know what they are saying so that they can be effectively fought. Quoting these bigots is absolutely not an endorsement of their positions.
Nazis have been rather more successful recently in the UK than here. Their tactics have won them elected office and influence. If we can learn from the tactics used by these bigots, we can help prevent overt racists in the United States from gaining elected office and poisoning our Democracy.
