The rhetoric of the New Black Panther Party can be summarized in these main points:
-Black liberation/nationalism
-Black separatism
-Destruction of capitalism
-Reparations for slavery
-Power in the hands of black peoples (but not those who are self-hating or self-serving)
-Anti-sexism
-Anti-Semitic/Homophobic/Anti-Catholic/Anti-white
In comparison with the original Black Panther Party, there are some key similarities and differences. Aesthetically, they are almost identical: the New Black Panther Party co-opted the BPP's style, imagery, and logos. In regards to their 10-point plans, the NBPP simply took the Black Panther Party's plan and embellished it. Sexism is, interestingly, more directly addressed in the ideology of the New Black Panther Party; they actively state that they are anti-sexism and believe in the equality of black women as well (in spite of this, membership appears to be mostly black men).
In terms of their tactics, the two are wildly different. The New Black Panther Party refuses to collaborate with anyone who is not a person of color (although they seem to only want to collaborate with non-African Americans in rhetoric only); they claim that violence and bloodshed are the only way that change can be made; and they are not rooted in Marxism or any other political/economic ideology. Their ideas stem solely from the idea of black nationalism.
The most important difference between these two organizations is that the NBPP does not actively seek to help communities in the way the Black Panther Party did. They are not active in their communities, and do not provide resources that their communities need, such as free meals, educational services, etc.
