ThinkProgress: The center has fallen, and white nationalism is filling the vacuum
Political Research Associates, a progressive group that tracks the extreme right, has described the Third Position movement as “a minor current of fascism” that borrows ideas liberally from both the extreme right and the extreme left. Its most important antecedent is Strasserism, a strain of Nazism that Adolf Hitler violently extinguished while consolidating his power in the thirties. Strasserists — named after the brothers Otto and Gregor Strasser— expounded a form of Nazi ideology that wedded scientific racism and conspiratorial anti-Semitism to radical anti-capitalism. Effectively, they put the “Socialism” in “National Socialism.”
