For the last four years, fascists in New England have been organizing themselves under one banner: NSC-131. The NSC militia was founded in Massachusetts in 2019 and began rapidly consolidating the various New England gangs, militias, and student organizations through the combined tactics of internet recruiting, flier dumps in white supremacist strongholds, and violent acts of white terror. Each summer since its founding, NSC-131 has dumped fliers somewhere in Connecticut — with the twin goals of terrorizing the Black and Jewish populations of the towns and getting media attention to draw other fascists into their organization. Last July, they hit Bristol, Hartford, West Hartford, and Southington, Connecticut. In 2022, their message was that “white New England” was under attack. It has matured and curdled: on April 13, 2023, NSC-131 fliered Rocky Hill with much more direct threats.
Last February, NSC worked with Patriot Front (the two groups may now have merged) to physically attack the Red Ink Community Library in Rhode Island. NSC-131 fliers were dropped this April in the New Haven suburb of Hamden and in New Haven itself. The “club” is expanding its reach, growing in threat, and consolidating its membership among the most violent Nazis in the Northeast.
Their name, NSC-131, stands for National Socialist Club and the letters ACA (the first, third, and first letter of the alphabet), or “Anti-Communist Action.” We have previously reported on the makeup of the NSC militia and its leadership.
Who is [Chris] Hood and who are his Nazi followers? White suburbanite psychopaths; the spoiled, dead-eyed sons of wealthy small business owners, landlords, real estate developers, white-collar professionals, and cops; silver spoon-fed university students at UMass Lowell; “security experts”, NRA-certified firearms instructors, members and ex-members of white-power militias, such as the III%ers; undercover cops and undisguised klansmen. NSC-131 is a club for future mass-shooters and fascist insurrectionists of the type who carried out [Trump’s January 6th, 2021] coup attempt. These neo-Nazi civilian fascists are the shock troops, the unofficial brownshirts, and the state-sanctioned terrorists of the settler-capitalist ruling classes, and they will only become more violent and better organized as the accelerating periodic crises of capitalism jolt the imperialists and lesser capitalists into heightened panic and frenzied reaction against the oppressed masses.
Local anti-racist and anti-capitalist organizations have begun organizing a response to the Rocky Hill flier drop scheduled for this Sunday, April 30 at the Academy of Aerospace in Rocky Hill. This is a good first step, but by no means will it be sufficient to cure New England of its neo-Nazi infestation.
Fascist terror can only be stopped by the organization of the colonized, racially oppressed, and working-poor communities NSC-131 threatens. March! Shout! Let the NSC know that they don’t have the community on their side. But don’t stop there! Organize community meetings; discuss the fascist threat and how to combat it with your neighbors. Organize community self-defense committees and neighborhood watches! The only way to keep the NSC fascists out is to make them unwelcome. Only the oppressed people of Connecticut (and New England at large), united, can stop the march of pine-tree Nazism. We must heighten our efforts; one-time marches may make NSC and its sibling organizations angry, but it will not send them packing.
Rocky Hill is calling for organized, united anti-fascist action! — not only an action for one afternoon, but persistent resistance against NSC-131 and all other fascist militia encroachments. We must fight back, not only today, and not only tomorrow, but day after day, week after week, and year after year. Only then, only in unity, will we find the strength to forcibly expel the fascists from our communities, once and for all.
UPDATE: The organizers have, due to the inclement weather, determined to hold this meeting on the following Sunday, May 7, at 1 PM.
