surely this easily verified phenomenon that has existed throughout history couldn't possibly be a real thing in the year 2019, now to take a big sip of this coffee and check on what's happening with the movement

characterizing modern reactionary anti-liberal capitalist thinkers and their various hangers on as red browns seems like a weirdly anachronistic and inaccurate label, since most people in that weird subgroup aren’t fascists or socialists in any real sense, they’re like dominionists or volunteerists or some other kooky non-Liberal ideology with absolutely no mainstream following

here’s a mild example:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Labour:_Forging_a_New_Politics

the author and his cohort of Christian fundies and paleo-conservatives have been pushing the idea of a “communitarian” system meant to revive “authentic” relationships - which is a pretty left wing idea particularly the notion of authenticity being decimated by capitalism - but their solution to creating it is a sort of premodern Christian fantasy combined with neocolonialism and a return to manufacturing supported by that colonial extraction, combined with a collective effort to enforce discursive homogeneity by ejecting ethnic and religious minorities with distinctive cultural traits

I don’t think I’d call these dudes red brown, I’ve met a few and they’re dangerous scum suckers but they’re not fascists, they’re not socialists, but they’re often anti capitalist and anti-commodification, just for the wrong reasons

the black socialists of america are putting together a 'dual power map' to plot "every single Worker Cooperative, Small Business Development Center, Community Land Trust, and Dual Power Project within the United States that you can support right now."

since it'll have a user submission feature, it seems like it could actually end up being useful.

i spent an afternoon once trying to track down co-ops/CLT/etc in my area. what little information i could find was scattered across a bunch of different websites, many that looked like they hadn't been updated in a while. it'd be genuinely useful to have all that info centralized somewhere, imo.
