“It’s not quite the ringing endorsement they were hoping for but Occupy Wall Street protesters on Monday received the support of the American Nazi Party, more commonly referred to as the ANP.
Also known as the National Socialist Party the group released the following statement on their website:
“[Occupy Wall Street] is TAYLOR [sic] MADE for National Socialists,” while they urge their members to “Produce some flyers EXPLAINING the ‘JEW BANKER’ influence—DON’T wear anything marking you as an ‘evil racist’—and GET OUT THERE and SPREAD the WORD!”
The ANP isn’t the first communist movement to back Occupy Wall Street, the Communist Party USA has also backed protesters and during a board member speech on Saturday in Chicago they told the crowd:
“I bring greetings and solidarity from the Communist Party. We are here, marching side-by-side. We’ll sleep here. We’ll be with this movement ’til the very—’til we make all the changes that we know we have to make.”
While many protesters don’t agree with the parties overall message they did meet the show of support with hoots and applause.
I don’t believe in the overall messages that are routinely being delivered by the ANP or the Communist Party USA however it’s still nice to see so many groups of varying political backgrounds joining in the movement to raise awareness about economic distrust around the world.”
Comment:
Communists and Nazis are backing OWS. I’m not going to use that against them, though. because a lot of Nazis supported the Tea Party too. Not too many, of course, because the Tea Party was filled with Austrians, none of whom believe that banking and the charging of interest is evil.
Unfortunately, too many of the OWS supporters entertain such ideas.
What’s more, economic nationalism was just the path that the German Nazi party took….
On the positive side, America is not Germany, the 21st century is not the 20th, and we are not determinists.
