The Nazis' New Clothes: The Take-over of Youth Subcultures by rightwing Extremists in Germany Right-wing extremist parties, organisations and movements tried and still try to take over youth subcultures. For about ten years, the right-wing extremist group Autonomous Nationalists has been trying to take over and copy leftwing movements, however more subtly and on a much broader social base than with the skinheads. This paper focuses on the take-over of the skinhead subculture by right-wing extremists as well as their attempt to reach left-wing subcultures as Autonomous Nationalists. The Hegemony Theory by Antonio Gramsci, a Marxist, is used as an explanatory model.
