Heil-raisers move into Bay State(neo-Nazi setting up group in Boston)
The National Socialist Movement (NSM), the second-largest neo-Nazi group in America, has never been able to establish a permanent presence in New England. Yet. It has taken another stab, however, with the launch of a Boston unit on November 5.

NSM is the most openly Nazi-like of the prominent American neo-fascist organizations. According to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which monitors hate groups, there are probably between 100 and 200 official members nationwide and an unknown number of "hangers-on" in nearly 40 chapters. Members often wear brownshirt clothing and swastikas, and use paramilitary terms; some engage in weapons training, according to the ADL. They advocate for a "greater America," in which Jews, nonwhites, and homosexuals are denied citizenship. The primary targets of their literature are Jews and immigrants.

The official creation of the Boston chapter, led by local resident John Gray, was spurred by a recent NSM rally in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, which several local people attended. "Our intent is to get word out ... that whites still control our own destiny, and can still rid our society of parasites and tribal subhumans," says Gray, in an e-mail exchange with the Phoenix.

........

NSM is not the only new neo-fascist presence: Volksfront, based in Oregon, moved its Eastern regional office to Boston last March. Several members of Volksfront passed out materials (and got into at least one fight) during the Democratic National Convention, along with members of White Revolution, which has a chapter in Haverhill, and the Creativity Movement, which has one in Sterling.

.......

"The National Alliance has sustained a presence here over a long period," Leikind says, "but one of the features of this movement is fluidity among the actors." The Boston unit of the National Alliance, headed by Michael Medeiros, has gotten considerably less public attention recently than groups such as White Revolution, which has protested at gay-marriage and pro-Israel events in the area, and has distributed anti-Semitic leaflets in both Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Gray says his group works closely with White Revolution, the Ku Klux Klan, and other white-nationalist organizations

3. 1-200 Nationwide?
So in the the City of Boston we have maybe 2 Brownshirts? This is more pathetic than the Klan meetings in N.E. The only part about this thats newsworth is when 100,000 people go to see them just to say they have actually seen a member of the _____.

5. Anti-racist skinheads need to mobilize against them.
I know that sounds strange. But believe me, where I live, anti-racist skinheads were pretty successful in terrorizing the fascists who had come to try to make this a base for them. Only force can stifle them.

9. They confuse people with "National Socialist Movement ".
Neo-Nazis/Fascists are certainly distinguishable from socialists.

Their propensity for violence ought to automatically place them on a terrorist list.

11. Let's not forget the crews from
Roxbury or Jamaica Plain, either.

This sounds like desperate, attention-seeking behavior. The article noted that they couldn't make a go of it in New Hampshire, so I doubt they'll be anything more than an opportunity for mockery in the home of the Bean and the Cod.
