>>2450896 (OP)Rockwell and the ANP are partly responsible for all the more cringy or unorthodox aspects of post-war national socialism especially in the US. His doctrine of 'White Power' basically abandoned the original nordicist principles of national socialism and included a more broad definition of who can be White or not, which indirectly lead to slavs and southern euros, and other peoples whom the national socialists in Germany didn't consider to be racially pure, to larp as full on neo-nazis. Which showed in the ANP with John Patler, the man who killed him, being a Greek and Joseph Tomassi, an Italian-American who eventually spilt off and created the NSLF, a more extreme group focused on revolutionary actions instead of simple politicking and acted as basically a Atomwaffen proto-accelerationist type group which makes sense considering James Mason was inspired by Tomassi and the NSLF and Siege, the basis for Atomwaffen's ideology (which eventually got itself entangled with satanism and the occult).
So Rockwell defiantly did have an impact on right-wing extremism and racialism. He promoted a kind of pan-european type of nazism which included all members of the White/European race instead of just Nordics and after his death, had many members of the ANP split off and create their own groups which themselves had very sizable impacts, like aforementioned Tomassi and Mason, but also William Luther Pierce and the National Alliance.
