Matthew Heimbach Kicked out of National Socialist Movement for Being a ‘Communist’

Being a neo-Nazi is all Heimbach has, but when even the costume Nazis don’t want to have anything to do with him, perhaps it’s time for him to find a new calling, like basket weaving or something.

Matthew Heimbach, who only a few months ago resurfaced as a member of the National Socialist Movement (NSM) after his embarrassing implosion of his Traditional Workers Party due to an affair he was having with his mother-in-law, has been expelled from the group after expressing positions that they viewed as leftist.

According to News2Share, the expulsion was announced via social media by Tennessee NSM State leader Kynan Dutton, who is best known for joining White Supremacist Craig Cobb as they tried to take over a small North Dakota town, eventually arrested with him and charged with multiple counts after they took rifles to the streets and shouted threats and is currently facing charges of assault stemming from an incident last June during a Pridefest event in Knoxville. The announcement said Heimbach was expelled for being a “betrayer, traitor, and Communist,” citing NSM Chief of Staff Burt Colucci and NSM leader, Jeff Schoep, as the ones who signed off on his expulsion.

Heimbach defended to News2Share his support of what is called Strasserism, a farther left form of Nazism and a precursor to what is commonly referred to as third positionism. “No, it’s not a form of communism,” Heimbach said. “Communism is international socialism by its very ideological texts, Strasserism is a national form of socialism.”

Heimbach joined the NSM in September Director of Community Outreach, and it was seen as a second chance for him after he was arrested and charged with battery in Indiana after he allegedly assaulted his stepfather and TWP co-founder David “Matt” Parrott, Jr.  during a fight stemming from accusations that he was having an affair with Parrott’s wife, then assaulting his own wife reportedly in front of police who responded to the incident.  TWP was shut down by Parrott the same day, and after appearing in court, Heimbach served 38 days in jail for violating his probation from an assault on a Black woman during a rally for Donald Trump. His first and last public appearence as an NSM member was during an NSM rally in Little Rock, Arkansas on Nov. 10.

It remains to be seen if this expulsion signals the end of the alliance Heimbach has had with the NSM for several years, even forming a coalition of groups that included the NSM, TWP and Klan organizations called the Nationalist Front.
