Conspiracy theorists often use the term "[[Fourth Reich]]" simply as a pejorative synonym for the "New World Order" to imply that its state ideology and government will be similar to Germany's [[Third Reich]].{{citation needed|date=February 2018}}

Conspiracy theorists, such as American writer [[Jim Marrs]], claim that some [[list of former Nazi Party members|ex-Nazis]], who survived the fall of the [[Nazi Germany|Greater German Reich]], along with sympathizers in the United States and elsewhere, given haven by organizations like [[ODESSA]] and [[Die Spinne]], has been working behind the scenes since the end of [[World War II]] to enact at least some principles of [[Nazism]] (e.g., [[militarism]], [[imperialism]], [[surveillance abuse|widespread spying on citizens]], [[corporatism]], the use of [[propaganda model|propaganda to manufacture a national consensus]]) into culture, government, and business worldwide, but primarily in the U.S. They cite the influence of ex-Nazi scientists brought in under [[Operation Paperclip]] to help advance aerospace manufacturing in the U.S. with technological principles from [[Nazi UFOs]], and the acquisition and creation of [[conglomerate (company)|conglomerates]] by ex-Nazis and their sympathizers after the war, in both [[Europe]] and the U.S.<ref name="Marrs 2008">{{cite book|author=Marrs, Jim|title=The Rise of the Fourth Reich: The Secret Societies That Threaten to Take Over America|publisher=William Morrow|date=2008|isbn=978-0-06-124558-9|url=https://archive.org/details/riseoffourthreic00marr}}</ref>

This [[neo-Nazi]] conspiracy is said to be animated by an "Iron Dream" in which the [[American imperialism|American Empire]], having thwarted the [[Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory|Judeo-Masonic conspiracy]] and overthrown its [[Zionist Occupation Government conspiracy theory|Zionist Occupation Government]], gradually establishes a Fourth Reich formerly known as the "Western Imperium"—a [[pan-nationalism|pan]]-[[Aryan race|Aryan]] world empire modeled after [[Adolf Hitler]]'s [[New Order (Nazism)|New Order]]—which reverses the "[[The Decline of the West|decline of the West]]" and ushers a golden age of [[white supremacy]].<ref name="Zeskind 2009">{{cite book|author=Zeskind, Leonard|title=Blood and Politics: The History of the White Nationalist Movement from the Margins to the Mainstream|publisher=Farrar, Straus and Giroux|date=2009|isbn=978-0-374-10903-5|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9780374109035}}</ref>

Skeptics argue that conspiracy theorists grossly overestimate the influence of ex-Nazis and neo-Nazis on American society and point out that [[political repression]] at home and [[imperialism]] abroad have a long history in the United States that predates the 20th century. Political theorist [[Sheldon Wolin]] has expressed concern that the twin forces of [[democratic deficit]] and [[superpower]] status have paved the way in the U.S. for the emergence of an [[inverted totalitarianism]] which contradicts many principles of Nazism.<ref name="Wolin 2004">{{cite journal|author=Pipes, Daniel|title=Inverted Totalitarianism|journal=The Nation|date=1 May 2003|url=http://www.thenation.com/article/inverted-totalitarianism|access-date=21 December 2009}}</ref>
