Alt-Right wants to catch Bernie-voters with anti-capitalist message, encounters minor problem.

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/white-nationalists-hoping-to-lure-leftists-by-talking-like-bernie-sanders-but-theres-a-really-big-catch/

White nationalists are hoping to lure leftists by attacking corporate elites — but they’re still refining their message.

They discussed their plan, and worked on the message, at a top-secret conference Nov. 19 in rural Maryland, where about 60 mostly young men sketched out their plan for next year, reported The Nation.

“We need to be explicitly anti-capitalist, there’s no other way forward for our movement,” said Eli Mosley, of the campus group Identity Evropa. “2018 is going to be the year of leftists joining the white-nationalist movement.”

The alt-right is following the historical model of fascism, which has often pretended to offer “socialist” positions in hopes of broadening their appeal to middle-class workers.




-------------------

There is just one itsy-bitsy teeny-tiny problem:

The Alt-Right believes in a conspiracy-theory that all of capitalism is controlled by a cabal of Jews pulling the strings from behind the curtain. (Sometimes the Jews are responsible for capitalism AND for communism.)

To the Alt-Right, being anti-capitalistic and being anti-semitic is one and the same.

The Alt-Right loves to rail against the "globalists"... which is simply racist code-speak for being against the Jews who control everything.


Good luck staying on message.


Trump used to be their anti-globalist hero... Since Trump turned out to be your run-of-the-mill greedy billionaire, those same Alt-Righters denounce him as a puppet of the Zionists.
Oh, and they absolute HATE it that Jared and Ivanka are jewish.
