Neo-Nazi is a term used to describe people who have adopted ideologies similar to those first identified with the Nazi Party, which ruled Germany under Hitler between 1933 and 1945. The term "neo" means new or revived, and neo-Nazis seek to revive and implement the ideology of Nazism. Neo-Nazism is a global phenomenon, with organized representation in many countries and international networks. Neo-Nazis borrow elements from Nazi doctrine, including antisemitism, ultranationalism, racism, xenophobia, ableism, homophobia, anti-communism, and creating a "Fourth Reich". They share a hatred for Jews and a love for Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Neo-Nazis have adopted the trappings of Nazism, such as celebrating the birthday of Adolf Hitler, reading his book Mein Kampf, and performing the Nazi salute. They have staged small demonstrations targeting LGBTQ populations, immigrants, people of color, Jews, and other religious minorities with intimidation and hatred.
