“The anti-semitism of von Brunn is the first thing one notices when visiting these bizarre websites. However, like those of most “white supremacistsâ€, many of von Brunn’s political views track “Left†rather than “Right.†Clearly, a re-evaluation of these obsolete definitions is long overdue.
For example, he unleashed his hatred of both Presidents Bush and other “neo-conservatives†in online essays. As even some “progressives†such as the influential Adbusters magazine publicly admit, “neoconservative†is often used as a derogatory code word for “Jewsâ€. As well, even a cursory glance at “white supremacist†writings reveals a hatred of, say, big corporations that is virtually indistinguishable from that of anti-globalization activists.
James von Brunn’s advocacy of 9/11 conspiracy theories also gives him an additional commonality with individuals on the far-left.
None of this will surprise readers of Jonah Goldberg’s bestseller Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Change , which clearly demonstrates that “fascism†of the kind advocated by the British National Party (BNP) and the likes of James W. von Brunn is just as likely to reflect “leftwing†views as “rightwing†ones.â€
Funny. I bet this little tidbit will be all over the news tonight.
