How Fascism Came to the USA: The Friends of the New Germany

In this week’s video, we explore the little-known origins of fascism in the USA, which goes all the way back to the early 1920s and the founding of the Free Society of Teutonia - America’s first major National Socialist organization. We examine the seeming compatibility between Americanism and Fascism and the origins of fascism found in colonialism.
