I think the lesson to be learned from these historical discoveries @Benjamin MI is that our history has been subverted on multiple levels. The average dissident right person (including myself) begins their realization of this with things like "The Greatest Story Never Told" and other such media which illuminate how deceptive our history has been about WW2 and its aftermath, mainly in Europe. The next level of this subversion applies to the history of our very nation. We learn essentially nothing about the interwar period because it is riddled with genuine nationalist and truly American movements and ideologies popping up through our country. Some of these were euro-centric such as the Bund which basically was trying to create an enclave of the German nation within the midwest, which is ultimately ridiculous, but its much more "on the money" the anything mainstream today. We also learn very little about the political movements of the early 20th century which were, in essence, proto fascist in nature. If the Roosevelt leading the USA during the 30s and 40s was Teddy instead of Franklin then we would remember TDR as a fascist. Even the Socialist party led by Eugene Debs in the late 1800s (I'm remembering this from 10th grade AP US History so I might have some details wrong) was a Nationalist and a socialist. He was influenced by Marxist theory, but ultimately his party was very close to what we would call third positionist. Finally, even further back before the civil war Henry Clay championed something called the "American System" which was primarily based around nativist immigration policies (especially concentrated on banning chinese immigrants), Government subsidized or outright funded infrastructure projects, and protectionist trade policy.

The Fascist, third positionist, National Socialist, or whatever you want to call them views that we have are not a foreign concept to American history and political discourse. These ideas have influenced policy makers and their policies throughout our history, and it is only in the post WW2 period that our views have become adjacent to illegal. Our views are in direct continuity with a myriad of American ancestors and famous American events. The NSDAP did not copy every detail of Mussolini's government or ideology. Franco did not copy every detail of the Third Reich's government or ideology. Therefore, why should we larp as members of the NSDAP or SS when we are Americans? If anything, that would be in contradiction with our ideological and racial cousins. Let us not wrap ourselves in the clothes of those who we gain inspiration from, but let us instead be inspired yet wrap ourselves in the trappings and history of our own nation.\
