Preferred term

White Aryan Resistance  

Definition

  • The White Aryan Resistance (commonly known by the acronym WAR) was founded in 1983 by Tom Metzger, a television repairman from Fallbrook, California. He formed WAR to promote both his anti-Semitic, racist views and a philosophy he calls the “third force position,” a form of labor-oriented national socialism based on the ideology of Otto and Gregor Strasser, two brothers who led a leftist wing of the German National Socialist movement in the 1920s.
