National Bolshevism
National Bolshevism, also known as Nazbolism or Nazbol, is a neo-fascist and Third positionist ideology that somehow combines far-right and far-left positions.[1] The origin of National Bolshevism can be traced back to the years following the Russian Revolution, when nationalist groups supportive of the new communist government broke with Lenin over the "national question" and sought their own countries, or for a more Russian-nationalist form of socialism. It was also briefly popular in Germany in the 1920s; its German supporters identified with the USSR because of their opposition to western liberalism and capitalism.[2]

Originally formed by Aleksander Dugin and Eduard Limonov
By 2007, the Russian government had banned the party, though by this point the party had already split into two groups. Supporters of Limonov founded the party The Other Russia
Nazbol Gang
At some point, 4chan/8chan left-wing board /leftypol/ found out about this ideology and presumably due to its sheer edginess and the absurdity of its combining two extreme and incompatible belief systems, made an ironic meme about it called Nazbol Gang,[4] which consists of satirical image macros (usually "deep fried") that are stylized to make them appear as if they are sponsored by Nazbols ("Hassan Nasrallah
