Counterculture Analysis: Neo National Socialists

Counterculture Analysis Neo bailiwick SocialistsJames BlackburnThe group chosen for this assignment would be the Neo-National Socialists (Neo-Nazis), modern culture that fits well within the definition of a counterculture. A counterculture is a subculture that rejects the major values of the larger society and replaces them with a new set of cultural patterns (Thomas 39). An obvious trait of these modernized National Socialists, is that they indulge themselves with the idea of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism is viewed as a negative value in most of society, yet Neo-Nazis embrace this horrific hatred against the Jewish population and their culture (S come out of the closethern Poverty Law Center). Evidence also leads to the conclusion that Neo-Nazis were non totally anti-Semites but argon very homophobic as well. Members of the Hogar Social Madrid had spit out homophobic slangs at a gay couple. This couple do out in front of the neo Nazis as a protest against them. The neo Nazi grou p was apparently protesting against taking in refugees near gist del Dos de Mayo in Malasaa (Wong).The term Nazi comes from the rising Soviet propaganda during WWII when Hitler decided to invade Russia. Ntional Sozalistische Deutsche Arbeiter partei, Hitlers society name just in Deutch. The Russians cute to name Hitler as not a true collectivist so they would mock him with the term of Nazi. If a person named the National Socialist party as the Nazi party, they would have been killed. The Russians pulled out the stressed syllables of their party and create the propaganda term of Nazi (Passyn). Going towards the ideology of the party, Hitler viewed his party as being left-wing instead of right field but media has showcased his ideology as Right-wing. In the pre-revolutionary France during the National Assemblies, the reactionaries sat on the right and the revolutionaries sat on the left. The Nazis viewed themselves as revolutionaries according to Mr. Hanson. The Nazis wanted the downfall of the Old Order and reestablish a new system of government this seems appropriate because the Nazis had already deemed the government as unfit to govern and tested to overthrow the government during the Beer Hall Putsch which failed on a large scale. On top of this, Germany was basically on its hands and knees in terms of economics, patriotism and power after the horrific defeat in WWI (Hanson). As a view from the Right-Wing, Mr. Klein states that there was actually no true socialism within the National Socialist party. He claims that Hitler outlawed Socialism and executed communists and socialists which are considered Left-Wing. Evidence shows that in 1933, a concentration camp called Dachau held leftist and socialists exclusively. Furthermore, Nazis had arrested more than 11,000 Germans for illegal socialist activity in 1936 (Klein). So if it was illegal to have true socialist or communist ideas, would that make the Nazi party lean more towards the Right-Wing in our und erstanding of contemporary politics? An American leader of the neo-Nazis would be Richard Spencer, though he hides behind the name of the alt-right or grey-haired-right in German. Spencer and his party are considered to be fresh nationalists and supporters of anti-Semitism (Kestenbaum).Sociological perspective can be defined as looking through the comm save held beliefs to the hidden stiffings of human actions (Thomas 4). A clear example this would affect American politics would be the relationship between the neo-Nazis and Donald Trump. For most societies, they will demonize neo Nazis their new ideology of the old national socialism. However, if the majority of the public hates Nazism but a big political figure has hints of supporting it, would that make neo-Nazis feel more comfortable manduction their ideology with the public? Now not all trump supporters are neo-Nazis however, he has earned some supports of them. There was a name at a trump telephone who was yelling out Jew- S-A at the press pen in Phoenix. Joyce states that trump has attracted a sometimes strongly anti-Semitic fol minusculeing which has not been a big issue within the 21st century (Joyce). The term sociological imagination is the ability to connect an item-by-items life with the larger world (Thomas 5). A neo-Nazi site called the Daily Stormer stated to vote for a man who actually represents our interests. Andrew Angiln, the head of the Daily Stormer endorsed Trump and had enthusiastically supported his campaign. The site also regularly defends Hitlers actions and ideology of National Socialism (Hananoki). With this information, there is an understanding of how the individual feels of a neo-Nazi. Because of a rise in a political leader that has a check fit of their ideology has finally risen, they feel comfortable facing the norms of society and fight against them.Ethnocentrism is the tendency to view ones own culture and group to be captain than other cultures or groups (Thomas 35 ). Just as the original National Socialists found that the Jews were inferior, the neo-Nazis would find their hearts and minds to be in the same place. Mr. Passyn would explain that the old stereoscopic picture type of the Jews would be that they are manipulative. This old stereo type can be seen within the Alt-Right or neo-Nazis. The neo-Nazi site Daily Stormer publishes an image of Auschwitz with a discolor Star of David and the word Jude as invite to march in Whitefish, Montana. This is the home of a white supremacist named Richard Spencer. This site announced that there will be an gird march by white supremacists in Montana where there is a large Jewish community. The primary goal of this march was just to harass the Jewish population and displace a cultural dominance upon the Jews. Anglin, the head of the neo-Nazi site sated that they could easily march around the Jewish community with powerful guns due to the towns low gun regulations (Haaretz and JTA).The belief of judging cultures based on their culture rather than the individuals cultural is called cultural relativism (Thomas 36). Since there is very little difference between both ideologies of the National Socialists and neo-Nazi party, evidence of the ideology of the National Socialists party to help justify the Neo-Nazi actions. Going towards the notion or the ideal race, Nazis wanted full power for only the Arian race, which was being white with blond hair and blue eyes. In Mein Kampf, Hitler explains how the life was the struggle between races for living space and how he would move to the West of europium and conquer the Slavs for German interests. Then lastly, he believed that the Jews were zilch but the devils of hell and the Arian race, the pure-race would grow due to the deaths of the impure-races (Hitler). Though the Neo-Nazis supported Hitlers ideology, they would focus on just the white race rather than get into the nitty gritty of having blond hair and blue eyes (Diffrence Between).I heavily dis barrack with my counterculture and how they act towards other societies. They are nothing but barbarians who cry because most subcultures believe in racial inequality. Even though neo-Nazis are part of the story of racial discrimination, they most likely agree with other white supremacists outside of their counterculture. To put sociological imagination to the test for myself, I would say the best reason why neo-Nazis are so opposing towards the Jews, homosexuals, gays, and other races or anything that is out of their norm, they once saw white power in their history and or just by their family. To explain more, what I mean is that the white man could do whatever he wanted with the black or other races if they had total power and laws were in their favor. Like in Uncle Toms Cabin, it pointed out the horrors of a white racist man beating and brutalizing a black man just because he had power. And depending on the type of social environment the individual grew up with in, t heir parents might have had racist or homophobic ideals and they just happened to grow up like their parents.ReferencesDiffrence Between.
