This is dangerous for any young person to do, since they may end up regretting having made certain public statements later in life. He is much too young to be a credible leader in most disciplines in life, leave alone as a credible leader in the greatest cause there is. The most competent leaders are those who have expertise in a field separate from white nationalism. It's not a good idea for our leaders to have no other life experience besides being in the movement. Dr. Pierce, Will Williams, and Kevin Strom were all well established in areas outside of our cause, and their unique skill-sets made the National Alliance stronger. The National Alliance is for competent men and women whose knowledge and commitment benefit the community.
I haven't followed Mr. Heimbach's troubled career as a self-appointed racial leader, but had heard he was recently put in charge of "community outreach" for the National Socialist Movement (NSM). That apparently didn't work out for him any better than other "movement" titles he has held. Found this on Stormfront discussion board:

Public Statement in regards to former NSM Director of Community Outreach Matthew Heimbach
It was the hope of the NSM to do this quietly and more discretely. However, a public post was made on social media regarding the expulsion of Matthew Heimbach calling him a traitor. I never approved or endorsed labeling our former Director of Community Outreach as a traitor.
Matthew Heimbach has been a friend and comrade of mine for many years, however, his political ideology does not coincide with the views of the NSM. Matthew is a strong believer in Strasserism. Strasserism is an obscure faction that exists to the left of National Socialism but slightly to the right of Communism. The Strasser brothers opposed Hitler’s anti-Semitism and were considered traitors. Gregor Strasser was executed on the Night of the Long Knives for his left-wing views and direct opposition to Hitler. Otto Strasser tried to split the national socialist party and was exiled. The political ideology of Strasserism is not directly compatible with true national socialism or the NSM.
Matthew repeatedly made social media posts commemorating leftist Fidel Castro, Kim Il Sung and Gregor Strasser. The National Socialist Movement has spent too many years fighting the far left in the streets to get into bickering matches over social media. Ultimately it was decided by all parties that Matthew was not a correct fit for the NSM, and that we would all go our separate ways. There is no hard feelings, and no dirt for the press to throw at us, or at Matthew regarding this matter.
The National Socialist Movement wishes Matthew the best in his future endeavors. He is a bright, intelligent, well spoken young man who still has a lot to learn. It is the hope of the NSM that Matthew will shrug off the leftist yoke of Strasserism and find his way back to true National Socialism.
Respectfully,
Commander Jeff Schoep
