FashFront: The Return of Iron March’s Legacy
How a modern neo-fascist forum is rebuilding the infrastructure of hate online.
In the shadow of today’s digital platforms, a new generation of extremist spaces is quietly taking root. Forums like FashFront are reviving the underground blueprint of violent neo-fascism. With modern design, tighter security, and a global user base, these spaces are not only keeping extremist ideologies alive—they’re refining them.
Iron March was a Neo-Nazi web forum that operated from 2011 to 2017. It attracted extremists from organized far-right groups, including individuals who would later go on to commit acts of terror. The site has been linked to over 100 hate crimes and served as the launching pad for terrorist groups such as Atomwaffen Division.
After Iron March shut down in 2017, many of its users migrated to other platforms, particularly Telegram. Now, a new forum—FashFront—has emerged to fill the void. It aims to host far-right activists and provide resources to radicalize a new generation of would-be extremists.
FashFront features a wide range of topics and includes links to extensive libraries of far-right literature. One thread is devoted to The Turner Diaries, a novel that has inspired numerous acts of terror, including the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Another link to publications from the Terrorgram collective, a network infamous for its terror activity and violent propaganda. There's even a thread dedicated to archival photographs of lynchings in the U.S. throughout the 20th century, presented without context—serving as a grotesque celebration rather than a historical reflection.
Perhaps most disturbing, the forum enables far-right activists to organize and promote their affiliated groups, allowing users to connect and coordinate efforts within their respective countries. These networks aren’t just ideological—they’re operational.
Users come from many countries, including Spain, the UK, the U.S., Australia, Greece, and several parts of South America. This geographic spread creates a transnational support system for neo-fascist, white supremacist, and accelerationist ideologies.
Much like Iron March, FashFront combines radical literature, community-building, and real-world coordination. Its content is more visual, its design more modern, and its members more cautious about security and operational secrecy. If Iron March was the dry run, FashFront may be the evolution.
