What worries me about this is that it takes people who have those right-wing views and connect them in the real world. Like, in an Internet time where community is more rare, this actually takes those people and creates a real-world community. In what ways are non-right wing people organizing?
I don’t know, but support your local anarchist book club.
In what ways are non-right wing people organizing?
Organizing for what? Counter-partols?
In any way that creates social capital/community in real life. I don’t mean counter-patrols. It’s just that a patrol happens to be social capital (of the bad kind)
the biggest thing left wing organizing can do is give people a sense that they are cared for and safe. it doesn’t have to be patrols, though it has gotten far enough that you may have to use your bodies as barricades that won’t let the fascists through. the more likely thing you’ll want to do in counter organizing is give people in need food. people are simple. we will think of whoever feeds us as being our saviors and salvation. you want to make sure people don’t join a right wing paramilitary? give them food. talk to them. listen to what they’re worried about. soothe their pain.
right wing politics are all about control through power. left wing politics are all about liberation through coalition building to resist that power.
