The National Socialist Movement (NSM or NSM88)[fn 2] is a Neo-Nazi organization based in the United States.[7][13] Once considered to be the largest and most prominent Neo-Nazi organization in the United States, since the late 2010s its membership and prominence have plummeted.[4] It was a part of the Nationalist Front[14] and it is classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.[15]

The NSM is described by the Anti-Defamation League as "one of the more explicitly neo-Nazi groups in the United States." It seeks the transformation of the United States into a white ethnostate from which Jews, non-Whites, and members of the LGBTQ community would be expelled and barred from citizenship.[4][15]
