Unmasking Extremism and Identity

Fritz gives the basics on the Base and their founder, Ron Nazzaro, from Ron's less-than-humble beginnings as a wealthy deep-state contractor to running the most infiltrated neo-Nazi terror organization ever straight into the ground. This is a story of training camps, weapons manufacture, goat sacrifice, and DMT consumption barely held together by a few leaky chat groups which made easy prey for antifascists and journalists alike. The crew discusses whether or not Ron was a highly incompetent spy, a highly incompetent nazi, or a highly incompetent nazi spy; or as Rey explains, "you can be a fuck up and also a fed!".

This episode makes use of work done by the Intelligencer, Vice News, and especially Eugene Antifa, as well as many other minor works of journalism.

This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system. And how to get rid of all that. Something like that... Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes!
