I think that Nazism is popular today for much the same reason that Islamist Jihadis are recruited from among unemployed and poorly educated young men and a few young women.
The feeling, fact, and fear of being excluded, and the need to belong to a culture which may even be an illegal subculture.
Don't forget, Belinda that Islamic sacred scripture explicitly legitimised the action of the Muslim suicide bomber who murdered 20 young people at that concert in Manchester. There are verses in the Koran (which is the word of God (Allah) that provided the justification this atrocity, and promised its perpetrator eternal bliss if paradise after he detonated his suicide belt. There are many unemployed, disadvantaged marginalised, and alienated young native white men in Britain, they bear a great deal of suffering, yet this would never incite them to murder innocent people in a terrorist attack
There is no Nazi Party in the West today. The NAZI Party - the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP) was a political movement that took place in Germany in the 1920's and 1930'Gs- i.e. in a different world, in an entirely different historical circumstance to that of the West's in the 21st century. If ever you read through the official manifesto of NSDAP, you will find, its contents are very different to what you might expect. The term "socialist" in NS(ocialist)DAP, for instance, did not at connote what it does today. Hitler absolutely loathed Marx's conception of socialism and communism.
The Neo-Nazi groups in the US are not a serious political threat to anyone. Most of them, like "ATOM WAFFEN" are just a motley gaggle of silly, bored teenagers looking for some excitement As far as I know they have done nothing serious more than participate in a few scuffles with Antifa activists at a small number of demonstrations (like Charlottesville, which was over-hyped by the US media into a veritable WW3; but in fact, VERY little
serious violence of any kind took place that day. YES, ONE person was run over and killed by a car, but the exact circumstances of the incident are unclear and still being. As to their anti-semitic rhetoric, like I said, they are nothing but a bunch of foolish teenagers (most of them) and do not represent any kind of real threat to Jewish persons in the US at all.
American Neo-Nazis ARE white nationalists, but so was Thomas Jefferson (and most of his fellow American Founding Founders); so was Abraham Lincoln, the "Great Emancipator" and abolitionist; and so were a surprising number of other former US Presidents in the 20th century. But, of course kids don't get taught this stuff in American schools. Trump said recently in the most strident and emphatic terms at a MAGA (Make America Great Again) rally: " I...AM...AN...AMERICAN....NATIONALIST !!" He didn't say "WHITE" nationalist, because that would send CNN and the rest of America's leftist media into a frenzy. And besides everyone at the rally knew perfectly he was a "WHITE NATIONALIST" (The word "WHITE" in this case was silent like the "p" in "phone" or the "p" in "water" (:D

)
If you don't mind me saying so Belinda its high time that native, white/Anglo-Saxon English folk, stood up and demonstrated some pride in their culture, their people and their nation. England is the fountainhead of Western culture, the greatest culture that this world has ever produced in the 6000 year long history of civilisation. England produced the
Magna Charta, the founders of the Scientific revolution (Newton and Bacon) the philosophers who spearheaded the Enlightenment (Thomas Hobbs and John Lock), the Industrial Revolution, William Shakespeare, the greatest wordsmith this planet has ever known, Winston Churchill who defied the German war machine when Britain stood alone after the fall of France and won the Battle of Britain against all odds in 1940. I was married and lived in England for almost 30 years, my son in English; he is 23 and lives in Hertfordshire.Despite the fact that I was born in the US and grew up in Australia as a youngster, I identify as ENGLISH, because my Grandparents were Londoners and their ancestor, going back centuries, were all native English. I am a great Anglophile and I will tell you one simple reason why. In England, I worked as a medical locum, which meant I has the opportunity to visit regional towns across the length and breadth of "Blighty". And I tell you, I absolutely loved that job, because whenever I arrived in ANY town in regional England I always found, without exception, that the native English folk there (and the towns of regional England are pretty much populated solely by white, Anglo-Saxon stock) were :polite, respectful, well-mannered, proud of their communities, congenial, tolerant, friendly, practical, law-abiding and in possession of that dry, ironic humour that has made English comics and humorists the very best in the world (John Cleese/Monty Python, Rowan Atkinson, Tommy Cooper, Benny Hill and all the rest of the wonderful English comic geniuses)
You, Belinda, being born in England, are automatically an heir to greatest and most precious cultural/civilisational legacy this world has ever witnessed. It has been passed down to you in trust by your predecessors over the centuries. It is your responsibility ( and it is a grave responsibility) to conserve and defend with all your energy what is of greatest value within in it.Remember you are only a temporary custodian of what England's glorious dead have achieved, very often at great cost, over 1000 years.In sum, It is your duty, Belinda ,as a native ,(white) Englishwoman is to protect and pass on the very best of the wisdom, art, science traditional cultural/moral values, Institutions and social mores that were bequeathed to you, by your own blood, to the yet unborn generation of English youth.
The great Edmund Burke, who was the Founding Father of Modern political Conservatism put it like this, in 1790...
"Society is a partnership in all science, a partnership in all art, a partnership in every virtue and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are dead, and those who are yet to be born."
It shocks me, Belinda, to read some the socialist nonsense that you - a native Englishwoman (!!) frequently post on this forum. Burke declared that no true Englishman was ever a socialist. In 1790 he
rightly predicted that no socialist revolution , like the disastrous one in France could ever take place in England, because he said...
"We Englishmen are not the converts of Rousseau; we are not the disciples of Voltaire; Helvetius has made no progress among us. Atheists are not our preachers; madmen are not our law givers. We know we have made no discoveries; and we think that no discoveries are to be made, in morality, nor many in the principles of government, nor in the ideas of liberty, which were understood long before we were born, altogether as well as they will be after the grave has heaped its mould on our presumption, and the silent tomb shall have imposed its law on our pert loquacity In England we have not yet been embowelled of our natural entrails; we still feel within us, and we cherish and cultivate, those inbred sentiments which are the faithful guardians, the active monitors of our duty, the true supporters of all liberal and manly morals. We have not been drawn and trussed, in order that we may be filled, like stuffed birds in a museum, with chaff and rags and paultry blurred shreds of paper about the Rights of Man. We preserve the whole of our feelings still native and entire, unsophisticated by pedantry and infidelity. We have real hearts of flesh and blood beating in our bosoms ! We fear God; we look up with awe to kings, with affection to parliaments; with duty to magistrates; with reverence to priests; and with respect to nobility. Why / Because when such ideas are brought before our minds, it is natural to be so affected, because all other feelings are spurious, and tend to corrupt our minds, to vitiate our primary morals, to render us unfit for rational liberty; and by teaching us a servile, licentious, and abandoned insolence, to be our low sport for a few holidays, to make us perfectly fit for, and justly deserving of slavery, through the whole course of our lines."
Right now England is torn with crisis, Belinda. You must support your country, your people and your culture any way you can. You must stand tall and proud and shout out that you refuse to be bullied or insulted by the EU - that loathsome, failed bureaucratic superstate. Send Jean Claude Juncker a letter, telling him that you an English patriot, and you have some advice for him, i.e. Go F**K yourself, Juncker, you're nothing but a pencil-necked, spineless, pen-pusher - if you threaten England , you' live to regret it, you Hun bastard."
