There’s a
big difference
THIS IS NATIONAL SOCIALISM — On a 1936 inter-Aryan friendship visit to
England, Scotland and Wales, clean-cut, squared-away members of the Hitler
Youth demonstrate the spirit of a regenerate new age to their British Scout
counterparts during a brisk morning march
In the ideological discourse of our time, no term is more emotionally
charged than the epithet “Nazi.” Is it an accurate descriptive label for the
National Socialist philosophy and those who embrace it, or does it carry
connotations that suggest something else—something quite different, in fact? In
the following editorial, which appeared in the November 1980 issue
of White Power, NEW ORDER
Commander Matt Koehl discusses this question, as he sets the record
straight
IS A “NAZI” the same as a National Socialist?
The news media, our opponents and an uninformed public would all say so.
But are they correct?
This is more than a mere academic question. On the proper answer hinge
certain significant implications for us as National Socialists.
It is true, of course, that in its early phase our Movement was referred to
as the “American Nazi Party.” This designation was consciously and deliberately
exploited for its publicity value.
Some have questioned the feasibility of this approach, arguing that it
would have been better if the term National Socialist had been
employed exclusively and consistently from the very beginning. Whether or
not this argument is correct is rather moot at this point. Whatever utility the
name “Nazi” may or may not have had in the past, the important point is that
for our present and future work as National Socialists it is useless.
A device coined by the enemy
It is a fact that the label “Nazi” was originally used by a hostile press
during the Weimar period [in Germany] as a term of contempt and derision
against Adolf Hitler and his Movement. Nowhere did the Leader himself use this
designation, either in his speeches or in Mein Kampf.
Not only is the expression a distortion of our true name, but it
connotes a certain lack of substance and seriousness, which in turn makes
it difficult for anyone to take our message seriously. Indeed, if the public is
to gain a credible perception of us, then we must present ourselves honestly
and forthrightly as exactly what we are—National Socialists—and not as
some sort of political caricature. Otherwise we can expect to have as much
credibility as dedicated Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries would if they were to
go around referring to themselves as “Commies.”
There is perhaps a more important reason, however, why we National
Socialists must reject the term “Nazi.” If this label was originally used to
belittle the National Socialist cause, subsequent wartime propaganda introduced
sinister new connotations. Conjured up was the monstrous image of hate and
evil, an image which every decent person must find repulsive.
Good people repulsed
But if the “Nazi” image has repelled good people, too often it has had
another unfortunate effect: it has attracted the very ones who fit the “Nazi”
stereotype—the unstable, the unsavory, the mentally sick and spiritually
defective—marginal typeswho may make good Hollywood props, but who have
absolutely no place in a true National Socialist movement.
Therefore, we can only conclude that at best, continued use of the term
“Nazi” is self-defeating. At worst, it is nothing but an opportunistic gimmick
by misfits and mini-fuehrers craving lots of personal
attention—little boys who don’t have the slightest idea what real
National Socialism is all about.
We, of course, have no control over what our enemies may decide to call us.
But what we choose to call ourselves is quite another matter.
The truth is that we don’t need any nicknames. We are National
Socialists, not “Nazis.” There’s a BIG difference!
THIS IS A “NAZI” — This lovely specimen of the “master race” is, in
fact, a disgrace to the race. In an act of ultimate desecration, this
particular character chose Hitler’s birthday on April 20 to get married—to
someone who is half-Hawaiian and half-Mestizo! In NS Germany defective types
such as this would have been taken out of society before they even got so much
as a single tattoo!
