    Vanguard America Vanguard America (VA) VA is a white supremacist group that opposes multiculturalism and believes America should be an exclusively white nation. VA spreads their hateful propaganda via the internet and by distributing fliers, posters, and stickers.

VA has participated in white supremacist rallies and protests around the country. VA members have targeted Jewish institutions with hateful propaganda. 1 / 10 Infighting has led to the formation of two competing splinter groups, Patriot Front and the National Socialist Legion. Vanguard America (VA) is a white supremacist group that opposes multiculturalism and believes that America should be an exclusively white nation. Their right-wing nationalist slogan, “Blood and Soil,” romanticizes the notion that people with “white blood” have a special bond with “American soil.” This philosophy originated in Germany (as Blut und Boden) and was popularized by Hitler’s regime. VA uses “For Race and Nation” as an alternative slogan. Along those lines, the VA manifesto (as of April 2018) maintains that “The racial stock of this nation was created for white Christian Anglo/Europeans by white Christian Anglo/Europeans. All other ethnicities, races, religions and demographics are absolutely not compatible with this nation’s original culture. With such being stated, a mass exodus, isolation, apartheid, segregation and/or separation must be implemented to retain the good order and longevity of the country.” Originally, VA (then called American Vanguard), was firmly in the alt-right hemisphere, and focused on white identity.
