- Joseph Tommasi
Joseph Charles Tommasi (
1951 -August 15 ,1975 ) was an American National Socialist who founded theNational Socialist Liberation Front (NSLF) in 1974. Breaking with the conservative image of American Nazism and its "mass strategy", he advocated an armed guerrilla struggle against the "System ".Tommasi was a young leader in the
National Socialist White People's Party in southernCalifornia . The Party splintered, followingGeorge Lincoln Rockwell 's death, and Tommasi, one of the most radical of the leadership, founded theNational Socialist Liberation Front (onMarch 2 ,1974 ) and began publication of a periodical titled "Siege". He wasassassinated by members of a rival National Socialist group in 1975.Influence
Tommasi became an inspiration of James Mason's, who later (in 1980) revived the NSLF and "SIEGE".
