Ku Klux Klan: Difference between revisions

Line 80:

==Splinter groups==

Multiple splinter groups of the KKK have cropped up over the years, particularly in the modern era during the latter half the 20th century and into the 21st century following the collapse of the third Klan (the last time that a national, centralized Klan actually existed.) Most of these splinter groups operate independently from each other (but still work together frequently.)

Many KKK groups have formed strong alliances with other white supremacist groups, such as neo-[[Nazi Party|Nazis]]. Some KKK groups have become increasingly "nazified", adopting the look and emblems of [[White Power Skinheads|white power skinheads]].

Most modern Klans (and related organizations) have adopted traits of Neo-Nazism, Neo-[[Fascism]], Neo-Paganism, [[Islamophobia]], [[homophobia]], [[Christian Identity]], anti-communism and anti-liberalism. Typically, their disagreements are over which of these beliefs is most important. For instance, some Klans might prefer to follow Christian Identity and reject Nazism as a foreign, un-American ideology, whereas others are open to non-Christians(usually atheists or pagans) and embrace Nazism.
