Libertarian National Socialist Green Party

The Libertarian National Socialist Green Party (LNSGP) is the title of a web site published from the United States using the domain name nazi.org. The web site represents the party as an organization borrowing ideological elements from various political movements, but cites its primary inspiration as the German Nazi party.

Identified associates of the LNSGP include Craig Smith and Robert Lindstrom, whose opinions are published on the site, and Bill White, who presented himself to national media as a spokesperson for the web site after the Red Lake High School massacre of March 2005.
The LNSGP is an avant garde commentary and satire of white nationalist groups, mass movements and fringe political parties, and, as such, has no intention of gaining ballot access or fielding political candidates. Its messageboard is a gathering place for Traditionalists and adherents of thinkers such as Julius Evola and Savitri Devi.

Ideology
The web site presents an ideological platform that combines three precepts — personal freedom, environmental improvement, and collective action — prioritized in that order. It identifies the National Socialist German Worker's Party ("Nazi") party of Adolf Hitler as its "ideological ancestor" and its symbol is the swastika on a green background (as opposed to the red background of the Nazi swastika). The site claims to borrow elements from libertarianism, environmentalism, anarchist and socialist groups, and some of the European Pagan movements. Despite its name, the group has never been connected with the Libertarian Party or Green Party in the US and holds positions contrary to the core tenets of both.
LNSGP associate Craig Smith called the party "in many ways, a postmodern reinterpretation of the historical NSDAP", and said it "is about bringing about a more traditional form of society and government while keeping a progressive attitude regarding human quality as well as cultural and scientific achievement." He expresses opposition to "the absolute hegemony of technology and money", and the alienation of "a normalized commerce-dictated global society". He claims not to "hate blacks" or view them as "inferior", yet believes them alien to "Indo-European society" (as he sees whites in Africa, who he thinks "should be repatriated to North America"). He expresses support "for everyone to retain their ancient heritage and that no people should be forced to conform to a universal standard." The LNSGP is suspicious of "absolute universalism and moralism", which they believe, "has its origins in Middle Eastern religious dualism (i.e., Judaism, Christianity, and, to a lesser extent, Islam) and "their modern secular offshoots (e.g., humanism, liberalism, Marxism, etc)".

Genocide
A policy FAQ outlining the LNSGP agenda at the Nazi.org site states that while the group does not itself officially advocate genocide, it has no opposition to the use of violence against Jews or any other opposition group because they reject morality. In response to the question "Do you advocate the killing of Jews in the current time?", they respond: "Violence is not the first color on our palette of political tools, but we laugh at morality and see no reason to disclaim use of violence against unreasonable parties. Further, we do not apologize for the work of others to exterminate a religion that believes itself to be 'the chosen race of God' and refers to people who are not of that religion as being of 'lower-ordered souls.'"[2] (http://www.nazi.org/library/faq/)
In spite of this, many views expressed on the website's forum include calls for genocide against Jews. Spokesperson Bill White wrote: "if anyone wants to discuss this seriously, I think there is a big difference between destroying Jews and killing innocent people ... I doubt there is such a thing as an 'innocent Jew'." [3] (http://www.nazi.org/community/forum/YaBB.cgi?board=News;action=display;num=1111486332;start=55#55)
Red Lake High School massacre
The LNSGP gained notoriety in March of 2005 following the Red Lake High School massacre, in which Native American student Jeff Weise shot and killed nine people before taking his own life. Weise had been a participant in the LNSGP online message boards where he expressed symapthies with the National Socialist movement ([4] (http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/0,12271,1443462,00.html)). In a press release, the LNSGP blamed "modernity" for the high school shooting, noting that it refused "to wring hands over a 'tragedy,' instead pointing out that such events are to be expected when thinking people are crammed into an unthinking, irrational modern society" and that "The school shooting in Red Lake, Minnesota will surprise no one who is familiar with this condition."
