During the 1970s, the ideas of Strasserism began to be mentioned more in European far-right groups as younger members with no ties to Hitler and a stronger sense of economic antisemitism came to the fore. Strasserite thought in Germany began to emerge as a tendency within the [[National Democratic Party of Germany]] (NPD) during the late 1960s. These Strasserites played a leading role in securing the removal of [[Adolf von Thadden]] from the leadership and after his departure the party became stronger in condemning Hitler for what it saw as his move away from socialism in order to court business and army leaders.<ref>R. Eatwell, ''Fascism: A History'', 2003, p. 283.</ref>

Although initially adopted by the NPD, Strasserism soon became associated with more peripheral extremist figures, notably [[Michael Kühnen]], who produced a 1982 pamphlet ''Farewell to Hitler'' which included a strong endorsement of the idea. The [[Volkssozialistische Bewegung Deutschlands/Partei der Arbeit|People's Socialist Movement of Germany/Labour Party]], a minor extremist movement that was outlawed in 1982, adopted the policy. Its successor movement, the [[Nationalist Front (Germany)|Nationalist Front]], did likewise, with its ten-point programme calling for an "anti-materialist cultural revolution" and an "anti-capitalist social revolution" to underline its support for the idea.<ref>C.

Vaughan, ''Neo-Fascism in Europe'', 1992, pp. 99–100.</ref> The [[Free German Workers' Party]] also moved towards these ideas under the leadership of [[Friedhelm Busse]] in the late 1980s.<ref>C. T. Husbands, "Militant Neo-Nazism in the Federal Republic of Germany" in L. Cheles, R. Ferguson, M. Vaughan, ''Neo-Fascism in Europe'', 1992, p. 97.</ref>

The flag of the Strasserite movement [[Black Front]] and its symbol of a crossed hammer and a sword has been used by German and other European [[neo-Nazis]] abroad as a substitute for the more infamous [[Nazi flag]] which is banned in some countries such as Germany.
