Joseph Charles Tommasi (April 15, 1951 – August 15, 1975) was an American Neo-Nazi who founded the National Socialist Liberation Front. He advocated extremism and armed guerrilla warfare against the U.S. government and what he called its "Jewish power structure."[1] Tommasi wanted anarchy and lawlessness so that the "system" could be attacked without protection.[2] Tommasi was derisively nicknamed "Tomato Joe" by rival neo-Nazis because of his Italian heritage and "less than Nordic complexion." He was later expelled from the group for using drugs and misusing group funds.[3]
Tommasi was shot and killed during a fight with a fellow Neo-Nazi in 1975.[4]
