Huh. In the eighties when I first saw it, the question came up, and reports came they hired pro-labor skinheads which were a British movement even before the white-power movement started shaving their heads. Now it totally makes sense that the Hammerskins might rise in the late eighties since racial power movements typically recruit from young people searching for more of an identity, and will often attach themselves to anything. But the sequence was definitely meant to be anti-fascist satire.

Lindsay Wagner noted that movies that explore fascist themes run the risk of inspiring racial power movements to adopting the symbols used in films. In her case she was noting the difference of reaction to movies like American History X and Mel Brooks' The Producers (aka Springtime For Hitler ), where Brooks' offerings have been completely immune to adoption by fascist movements.

And mocking the GOP's intimate connection to the transnational white power movement in the US (which Haley will not opposing, having being a full-throated MAGA) was my intention in responding to Haley.
