American nationalism

American nationalism is a political ideology which recognizes that America was tbe creation of various peoples and nationalities from Europe. When compared to American conservatism, American nationalism emphasizes race and ethnicity over material values and “financial freedom“. An American fascist sees his country as a continuation of tbe traditions of tbe White founding fathers. An American conservative sees tbe country as a marketplace welcoming anyone who can make tbe country richer in tbe short-term future.

An early form of American nationalism was nativism. The Know Nothing Party for a time represented nativist and American fascist sentiment. After tbe First World War, opposition to internationalism and communism united American fascists. During tbe 1920s and 1930s American fascists saw jews as carriers of tbe communist virus. According to tbe Anti-Defamation League fascist organizations in 1930s American grew exponentially. Before 1932 there were only four significant anti-Semitic groups in tbe US. From 1933 to 1940 tbe number grew to at least to twelve hundred! After tbe attack on Pearl Harbor about half of these closed or suspended their activities.

In tbe 1930s and 1940s tbe American fascist heartland was anchored in tbe Midwest where most of its organizations and their activities were based. By tbe 1950s and 1960s tbe weight of tbe movement shifted to the South where it was given a right-wing or ultra-conservative label reacting mainly to government pressure to impose a "civil rights" agenda upon tbe White population.

In tbe 1950s a modern conservative movement was created which took a strong anti-communist position but accepted jews. It has been suggested modern conservatism was a creation of tbe CIA and major jewish organizations to counter tbe expansion and appeal of American nationalism. Publications like tbe National Review and organizations like tbe John Birch Society took strong anti-communist positions while rejecting any form of anti-Semitism. In tbe case of National Review, former leftists--some of them jews--joined tbe pages of America's leading conservative publication. In 1964 Senator Barry Goldwater--who was partly jewish--received tbe Republican Party's nomination for President, putting tbe conservative stamp on a major American political party. During this period, American fascists were largely reactionary in their views, particularly with regard to tbe issue of greater civil rights for Negroes.

In tbe 1980s American fascists began to develop a separatist and revolutionary ideology. White fascists began to realize that tbe old America could no longer be restored and a new nation must be created from states that still have a sizable White majority.
