The Metzger quote sounds a hell of a lot like Metzger. I suspect the quotes are real.
Weird, I never thought I'd agree with a Klansman:
I hate the transnational corporations far more than any black person.
Me too!
Most of the white separatist movement is virulently anti-capitalist.
Of the Wall Street/international kind, anyway.
Of either the current state capitalist system or neoliberal or genuinely freed market.

Third Positionists argue for greater decentralization, following Chesterbelloc. National-Anarchists, National Bolsheviks, etc also fit into this category. It's left-Nazism inspired by the Strasser brothers.

Traditional Nazis argue for extreme centralization (analogous to Stalin's system) or something closer to our system but with the state/party apparatus at the rudder (dirigism). Nazism is state capitalist too, but with the emphasis being on the state as the great controller whereas our system is state capitalist with already established privilege and elite private power directing the show.

Is your average Klansman that theoretically nuanced? My assumption (emphasis on assumption) is that they're of a segregated simplified myth of free labour—"an honest day's pay for an honest day's work."

The Klan is pretty much a social club. Metzger doesn't have much to do with the traditional Klan.

Do not make the mistake of assuming these racists to be stupid. Their worldview is skewed, but much of the leaders exhibit a high degree of sophistication. Totalitarianism often attracts intellectuals.

Maybe so. Whenever I've heard these guys speak, it comes off as so crude that I've never associated them with anything close to sophisticated analysis.

I've spent time on far-right email lists doing research and some of these guys are pretty impressive.

EDIT: not that I think their premises and conclusions are at all valid, just that they can show a degree of sophistication that impresses me from a formal point of view.

It's true that the footsoldiers are often morons, but the intellectuals aren't any less sophisticated than your average conservative or liberal think tanker.

Sophistication is a relative thing. I obviously find left-libertarian cranks like me more sophisticated. But in relation to mainstream political thinking, they display the same degree of sophistication I think.

True, but hasn't Nazism always been about moronic, knee-jerk thugs at the ground level and super-elitist intellectuals at the top, like the SA and SS, respectively, during the '30's?
I'm so punk, I don't even take my leather jacket off when it catches fire. Which it does frequently, because of how fucking punk I am.
