American extremist movements pursue spectacle and foreign influence

The discussion briefly turns to American extremist organisations during the interwar period. An American Nazi organisation is presented as a failed foreign-influence effort whose organizers prioritized their own enrichment, even though it staged large parades. Communist leader William Z. Foster provides a contrasting example: the Soviet Union later issued a stamp honoring his work in the 1930s. The passage distinguishes public spectacle and later foreign recognition from the harder work of changing domestic politics.
