Someone started a topic about the visual aesthetic of the Nazis. I thought that I should call attention to another, less likely, group that embraced the Prussian military aesthetic: the followers of Marcus Garvey:

This was the group for which the expression "Black Militant" might have been coined. They arose from the same movements from which the Nation of Islam and the Rastafarians emerged, but instead of creating a crackpot religion, they borrowed trappings from 19th century German militarism, got themselves some sweet military uniforms, and marched in parades.

That's Garvey himself on the right.
See? You don't have to be a Nazi to admire German military pageantry.

Sweet Jehozaphat! What is it with you guys? Are you trying to resuscitate activity in the forum by way of polemic shocks?

Definitely Marcus Garvey was both an important and yet a highly controversial early leader of the Pan-African movements, having made a real enemy of WEB DuBois, and also alienating large segments of the African American community by meeting and even agreeing (!) with white supremacists, including leaders the Ku Klux Klan.
