Joseph Tommasi

Joseph Charles Tommasi (1951-August 15, 1975) was an American National Socialist who founded the National Socialist Liberation Front (NSLF) in 1974. Breaking with the conservative image of American Nazism and its "mass strategy", he advocated an armed guerrilla struggle against the "System". Tommasi advocated an radical form of the leadership and after founding the NSLF on March 2, 1974, began publication of a periodical titled Siege. Tommasi was derisively nicked-named "Tomato Joe" behind his back by rival neo-Nazi's because of his Italian heritage and somewhat swarthy features.
