Haven’t read the article yet but immediately thought of the European re-branding of extremist groups: Vlaams Belang, Pro-Koeln, and the BNP. Considering the background of the top members of Pro-Koeln for example with their direct links to the NDP and other European fascist backgrounds. They were essentially forced into re-branding by the German authorities.

The Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC and aka Country Club Clan) was essentially a re-branded form since the onset of that group. As we’ve seen many of these groups are well connected with their European counterparts and have learned what appears to have been a successful tactic by fascist groups in Europe which is to remodel the image of their groups on many fronts.
