At least one gunman with a semi-automatic weapon attacked worshippers gathering for Friday prayers in two locations: a mosque at Deans Avenue in central Christchurch and another mosque in the nearby suburb of Linwood.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison confirmed one of the people taken into custody was an Australian-born citizen.
The ABC has identified Grafton man Brenton Tarrant as the man visible in livestreamed footage of the attack.

El Grauniad - Rightwing extremist wrote manifesto before livestreaming Christchurch shooting
The man who livestreamed himself attacking a Christchurch mosque and murdering at least 40 people identified himself online before the rampage as Australian citizen Brenton Tarrant.
On a now-deleted Twitter account, Tarrant posted multiple photos of what appear to be machine gun magazines and a link to what is being described as a manifesto for his actions.
The 74-page document starts off quoting a Dylan Thomas poem, Do not go gentle into that good night, and then moves onto a rant about white genocide.
Tarrant outlines his motivations: including to “create an atmosphere of fear” and to “incite violence” against Muslims while offering up autobiographical details.

"Denounced". Like in "no longer agreeing with" to say the least.
Sorry, but it seems to me fascism grew from the denouncing of marxism.

The Marxists believed WW1 would result in the proletariat overthrowing the bourgeoisie. The schism occurred when that didn't happen and class conflict was abandoned by many Marxists who then became fascists. Further illustrated by former left wing British MP Oswald Mosley and his BUF. [wordpress.com] As further paralleled by the contemptuous rejection of the working class by today's left who favor identity politics and race conflict in their lust for murderous power.

fabianismIngSoc.Why '1984'? [theguardian.com]
After annihilating Stalinism in Animal Farm, Orwell turned his ire to elitist socialists -- the total war society depicted in 1984 being undeniably fascistic.
If you think fascism emerged from liberalism, you are deluded. Despite the death toll, it's never "real socialism" as far as socialists are concerned huh?

I think fascism emerged from Mussolini, not from marxism.

Mussolini the Marxist? [wikipedia.org]
But what of his support for Nietzsche's Ubermensch, surely that wasn't socialist? [wikipedia.org] What about his support for the war? [wikipedia.org]
Can't say the syndicalist policies were left wing though huh? [libertarianism.org]
Sorry dude. Fascism grew from Marxism in opposition to liberal capitalism - historical fact!

Because it's an established fact that, in spite of denunciation, a man never actually changes his mind and values in the course off his life.

Fascism rejected class struggle but employed syndicalism. The ideas behind Fascism emerged from the left but were subjugated to the nation state. Lenin sought to destroy the nation state but the USSR was ultimately centrally planned state socialism, replete with expansionist policies and forced labor camps. Denounce that!
