The primary suspect in the massacre Friday of 49 people at two mosques in New Zealand named a prominent British fascist leader who was allied with Italy’s Benito Mussolini in the 1930s as the historical political figure with whom he most identified.
The suspect, 28-year-old Australian Brenton Tarrant, published a 74-page manifesto before killing 49 people and injuring another 20 at the Christchurch mosques.
Tarrant wrote that Sir Oswald Mosley “is the person from history closest to my own beliefs.”
Describing himself as a “racist,” Tarrant state’s he’s not a conservative and could be labeled a socialist, “depending on the definition.”
Mosely, who was photographed with Mussolini on a visit to Italy in 1936, was the leader of the British Union of Fascists in the 1930s after serving as a member of Parliament.
Already, Democratic leaders, including Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, are casting blame on President Trump for the attacks.
In his manifesto, Tarrant describes his political ideology in a Q&A format. In summary, he says he could be described, “depending on the definition,” as “right wing” as well as “left wing,” and a “socialist.”
He asks: “Were/are you a socialist?”
He responds: “Depending on the definition. Worker ownership of the means of production? It depends on who those workers are, their intents, who currently owns the means of production, their intents and who currently owns the state, and its intents.”
He says explicitly he is not a conservative, saying “conservatism is corporatism in disguise, I want no part of it.”
To the question of whether or not he is a Christian, he writes, “That is complicated.”
Tarrant says he’s “an actual fascist.”
“I am sure the journalists will love that,” he says, adding he considers himself “an Eco-fascist by nature.”

He would be described as a white Hispanic.
Sounds more like AOC than Trump.
No doubt. Sincerity and honesty and integrity are not important. Playing the political game trumps all.
!)...the economy
Sounds like a combination of lots of crazy and lots of drugs.
Give them time.
Actually there are more Muslims in Asia than The Middle East.
Yes but Zimmerman is a Jewish name and the left are antisemitic as hell and that I believe is what really drove their hostility. This was simple case of self defense, it goes on all the time. The guy ambushed Zimmerman, was seen by witnesses on top of Zimmerman beating his head in, case closed, clear cut case of self defense, goes on all the time. But oh, his last name is Zimmerman! Oh now it’s a different story. Now B.Hussein has to get involved and make the attempted killer Trayvon out to be his son, and then the media portrays him as this innocent little boy and the big evil white Hispanic Jew must be threatened with murder and tried for murder. That case is a prime example of the hatred the left has for Jews even if one is not Jewish, just have a Jewish last name is enough to incite their rage.
“Yes but Zimmerman is a Jewish name”
Not really. Add an n a the end and it means “carpenter” in German. Bob Dylan is Jewish. Most Zimmerman(n)s aren’t.
They blamed Bush for the beltway sniper in the early 2000s because he used a BUSHmaster rifle.
The enemedia is well versed in this slander.
If you teach crazy you're going to get crazy out of that teaching.
