Is he an actual Neo-Nazi? Do you have a citation on that one?
I can't find the source at the moment (I should have saved the link when it was posted all over Reddit's politics board last weekend, damn it!) but he wants to turn the US into an enthno-nationalist white Christian theocracy and wage a holy war against the Muslim world. He believes all the usual anti-diversity and anti-multiculturalism white nationalist talking points.
I think I remember that talk, if it's the one I was thinking about, and while he had the Christian stuff, he did specifically disavow the racial angle, hoping it would, and I don't quite remember the phrase he used, "wash out"? "fade out"? It was not something he was going on about. He also wanted to rerun the whole New Deal thing, "throw stuff on the wall and see what sticks" was I think the rough phrase used (different interview), too.
So, an ideological guy, not a progressive, but not really a Neo-Nazi, unless we're just using "Neo-Nazi" as an all-purpose slur.
I mean granted, you're a progressive, so anything not explicitly antiwhite* probably sounds like Hitler to you.
* I know, I know, you people "mean" equality, but y'all sure "say" some pretty kooky things.
If you could post that it that would be great, because I can't seem to find the damn article.
You mean this one?*
*I was right the first time, "washed out" was the term he used.
