National Socialism Association (NSA) is a political organization founded in Taiwan in September 2006 by 許娜琦, a 22-year-old political science graduate of Soochow University. The NSA has an explicit stated goal of obtaining the power to govern the state (original text in Chinese: 取得政權).

[edit] History

In an interview with the most popular newspaper in Taiwan, Apple Daily (Taiwan), on March 10, 2007, the founder of the NSA claimed that she started researching the ideology while she was studying at university. She founded the NSA because she believes in the ideology of Nazism and she is not happy with the constant political struggle between the Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party. The party was registered as a public organization under Taiwanese law in September 2006. The government indicates that the establishment and existence of the NSA are protected by the constitution which guarantees freedom of speech and organization.^{[citation needed]}

Its first national meeting among members was held on March 17, 2007 in Taichung.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] Organization

Initially, the NSA had 19 members.^{[citation needed]} The headquarters is in Taipei. As of March 2007, the official website claimed that the NSA had more than 760 members. After exposure in major media, the NSA claims membership has risen to over 1,400.^{[citation needed]}

The NSA views Adolf Hitler as its leader and often proclaims "Long live Hitler" (Heil Hitler) as one of their slogans.^{[citation needed]}
