Any bits I could read about this?

Sure. Here is a Gawker article about it.

Gawker posted:


The Oath Keepers in Ferguson just lost their highest-profile member. Sam Andrews, who led armed members of the militia-style group into protests following Michael Brown’s death and its one-year anniversary, quit in characteristically loud fashion amid a verbal war with the group’s founder this week, citing what he called a “racist double standard” within the Oath Keepers.

Andrews’ spat with the Oath Keepers follows his announcement that he plans to hold a march in conjunction with black protesters in Ferguson during which marchers would legally carry guns in a symbolic showing of force against the police. Like most Oath Keepers, Andrews is a fierce believer in the Second Amendment. Where he may diverge from the orthodoxy of the group—which is mainly composed of ex-members of the military and law enforcement agencies—is his belief that residents of Ferguson and similar communities should arm themselves to combat oppressive police forces.

Reason reports that Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes asked Andrews to lay off the arm-the-protesters rhetoric, and that Andrews flatly refused. “All we were doing is saying, ‘Look, Sam, don’t make it sound like we’re gonna arm violent people who were rioters,’” Rhodes said. “We’re gonna arm the good people of Ferguson, to stand up for their rights against the police and to control the hoods.’”

Andrews noted Rhodes’ apparent hypocrisy, pointing to the standoff at Cliven Bundy’s ranch, where Oath Keepers were more than happy to assist people who stood against the government and happened to be white. “The law enforcement side of [Rhodes’] board and membership are racist, and he does not want to lose their money,” Andrews said. Rhodes shot back, calling Andrews a “lying sociopath” with a “personal vendetta.”

It is not surprising that Andrews would leave the formal Oath Keepers organization, and the split will likely mean little to him in practical terms beyond the loss of a nationally-recognized group with which to affiliate his name. I spoke with Andrews and other Ferguson-area Oath Keepers extensively following the one-year anniversary protests of Brown’s death earlier this month, and learned that despite his high public profile, Andrews was already acting on the fringe of the group. Even before quitting, he had never attended a meeting of the local Oath Keepers chapter, and when he brought his men and rifles into Ferguson, he was acting independently, without the knowledge or authorization of Oath Keepers leadership.

The point is that the whole 'defensive' poo poo is nothing but a smokescreen, a convenient lie that they may or may not buy into themselves. They're not 'defensive' in any meaningful sense of the term, you're just buying into their marketing.

you could make an argument nazis are revolutionary in that they want to change society from being based on the profit motive to being based on war loot and slavery. doesn't mean it's a good revolution. it's a reactionary revolution. that's bad.

Historically though they've occasionally called themselves revolutionaries (and even then only very infrequently after 1933), the Nazis are more accurately viewed as counter-revolutionaries, reacting against what they see as the diseased legacies of the 1918 armitice, German Revolution, and Weimar state that emerged from it. Similarly, their modern day descendants are virtually always reacting against some perceived revolutionary change, which they want to roll back, or from which they want to reclaim their "lost" country.

Oh, and also it gets harder to call them genuine revolutionaries when they always purge the revolutionary wing of their organization either before coming to power or just afterward.

It doesn't really matter what they call themselves, or how they see themselves as acting. The basis of revolution is a 'bottom up' overthrowing of a corrupt political system, or a political system infiltrated by a corrupt tendency, that no longer serves the interest of the people, nor is able to intimidate them any longer.

Reaction is the reassertion of that exact corrupt tendency, by the people who benefit the most from it, and who take and maintain power through pure intimidation. In the case of the Nazis, in was the imposition of extreme anti-semitism on a weakened liberal democracy. But they didn't come from nowhere, and they certainly didn't come from 'the bottom'. Their take over is better viewed as something like a coup d'etat.

They're not 'defensive', and they're not 'revolutionaries'.

He is about to go to prison for a few years (facing multiple felonies related to protesting and he already has already served three prison sentences) and in prison he will be a huge loving target with no friends. (Also automatically ineligible for parole.) But hey he got to bask in the adulation of a bunch of virgin basement dwellers for a few months, so I'm sure it was all worthwhile.

Well like I said I'm mostly talking in the context of talking to Catholics somewhere on the trad spectrum. What I mean is that fascists are quite eager to destroy any elements of 'conservative' society that inhibit their rise. The Nazis talked up Christianity (at least enough of them to get people to buy it) but they were quite happy to murder priests if they made fusses about "maybe don't kill Jews?"

Very few priests made enough of a fuss in that direction to even get tossed in KZ let alone executed, and those that made a fuss about other things like Aktion-T4 were accommodated and appeased rather than murdered. And that's even before we get into the brownshirted ones who enthusiastically embraced the movement.
