I attempt, in my political practice, to alert progressives to the dangers of the political disorientation that can occur when the hard right attempts to break out of their marginal status by pitching their message of ethnocentrism and exclusion to a broader audience, including, increasingly, progressives.

They do this by finding vehicles that afford them that opportunity. They are working overtime in the 911 'Truth' movement, the Ron Paul Campaign and within the anti-immigration movement, to name a few.

Here"s an instructive example of an EXPLICIT effort by fascists to pitch their politics to, in this case, ANARCHIST YOUTH.

This particular effort is a part of a developed fascist political movement known as 'THIRD POSITSIONISM' which claims to be neither 'Right nor Left'.

Of course this is just a shuck since their message is extreme-right, namely- white racial nationalism. This essay by honest 'GREEN ANARCHISTS' exposes such NATIONAL 'ANARCHIST' efforts.

Excerpt:

'There is a wave of fascist groups that are attempting to cross-recruit by sporting Che t-shirts and Palestinian scarves, even marching in Black Blocs! ..., they... are attempting to pull people from anarchist and left movements into the white racist milieu.'

It's an INTERNATIONAL strategy as well.

It's now generally acknowledged that we're in a recession. As conditions worsen, these marginal forces will doubtless appeal to a wider audience, especially if progressives don't educate themselves and expose the threat in it's infancy.
