A problem for the Australian antifa, and indeed for anti-fascist groups in Europe and the US, is that few people and organisations they oppose here have much to do with Nazism.<\/em> ~ Chip Le Grand, Antifa Australia goes for the jugular, The Australian, December 9, 2017<\/p>\n

Huh.<\/p>\n

The Southern Poverty Law Centre has just published an expos\u00e9<\/a> on neo-Nazi terror group The Base and its links to Australian neo-Nazis, specifically ‘The Lads Society’:<\/p>\n

The materials show that the group made significant inroads into parts of Australia\u2019s far right, and in particular the Lads Society, a white nationalist group that once invited Brenton Tarrant, the Australian who murdered 51 Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand, on March 15, 2019, to be a member.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A few notes:<\/p>\n

\u2022 ‘The Lads Society’ was born out of defunct fascist groupsucule the ‘United Patriots Front’, an ultimately unstable coalition of neo-Nazis and Christian fun-da-mentalists. The UPF was a Facebook creation, which terminated after the corporation closed its Facebook page in mid-2017. I wrote extensively on the subject of the UPF, including in The Guardian in November 2015 (The UPF and Reclaim Australia aren’t ‘concerned parents’ or a bad joke<\/a>: ‘Don\u2019t get sucked in by the hijinks of far-right activists: active neo-Nazis are welcome and hold leadership positions in a movement gaining in appeal’). In its infinite wisdom, a few weeks ago Facebook terminated<\/a> my page on the basis of my alleged ‘support’ for figures associated with the UPF(!).<\/p>\n

\u2022 Other local members of the far-right to have championed RaHoWa!, GTKRWN, #SiegeCulture and so on have included writers for David Hiscox’s blog XYZ<\/a>. Doing so was considered kosher by Facebook, and the XYZ page was only terminated after the XYZ boys published a ‘satirical’ article<\/a> about Waleed Aly of Channel 10’s ‘The Project’.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The SPLC notes that:<\/p>\n

The false belief that a conspiracy exists to carry out \u201cwhite genocide,\u201d or to effect a \u201cgreat replacement\u201d of white Americans through mass immigration, is widely prevalent across the racist far right, from outright neo-Nazis, to so-called \u201cidentitarian\u201d groups, to influential Republican officials. Many white nationalists hold, again falsely, that this \u201cgenocide\u201d or \u201creplacement\u201d has been orchestrated by Jews.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘The Great Replacement’ is what the Christchurch mass-murderer titled his manifesto and was also a theory propounded by Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern, who ‘Christian conservative’ Dave Pellowe brought to Australia for a speaking tour in 2018. Their tour was widely celebrated on various Murdoch media properties and, after a brief ‘retirement’, a little more than a year after the Christchurch massacre Southern has returned to Australia and been warmly embraced by the same parties. Indeed, Southern will be joining a glittering array of stars — including former Labor leader turned NSW PHONy Senator Mark Latham — at the ‘Conservative Political Action Conference’ in Sydney in November.<\/p>\n

What’s a few dead Muslims between frens eh?<\/em><\/p>\n
