There are significant differences between the fascist terrorism we have today and left wing militants in the 1970s, besides the obvious ethical difference. The 70s militants in theory wanted to inspire the masses to take part in an egalitarian reorganization of society, which armed struggle alone can't achieve. They were also consistently opposed by the state. That they burned out and were crushed is not that surprising in retrospect, especially as the above ground and legal part of the movement was also crushed or co-opted at the same time.

The fascists today want to further entrench existing racial inequality and divisions, with the end goal of ethnically cleansing the US. While the latter goal is impossible, the first part is endorsed by the party controlling 2/3 of the federal government. Police forces in the country are also largely friendly to the organized fascist movement. These fascist terrorists are also probably inspired by how al-Qaeda in Iraq and later ISIS were able to inflame sectarian tensions with shocking terror attacks. While I doubt it will lead to the same result of open sectarian/racial civil war, it'll probably keep polarizing US politics. Overall the fascists will probably be seen as a potential tool by some parts of the bourgeoisie as climate change and associated crises escalate. They can be used against the rising left and any climate refugees, and will probably be cheaper than just relying on state oppression alone.

I think any working class movement needs to crush these fascists at some point if we want to win and hold power. I don't know how or when, but I don't think these fash are just gonna burn themselves out.

This tweet totally overstates and misinterprets the situation. These guys are terrorists who can collaborate ideologically and politically but not operationally or militarily. They are definitely not guerrillas by any scope of the imagination, they do not try to operate a state in parallel or hold territory or fight against the military or whatever (although the militia movements play-act like guerrillas and every once in a while thy target a courthouse or tax collector). They’re criminals who target civilians to try to cause social change.

This is all correct and I agree but the crucial detail is that this describes terrorism, not guerrilla warfare. I’d quibble about some of the Trump stuff maybe.

Nicholas Sandmann was a junior last year, and will be a senior this year, so he has to do everything in his power to stay in the news so that people will remember who he is when he pops up again in six months complaining that the libs are oppressing him by him not getting into harvard, so he can then jump onto the griftwagon

Yeah it's essentially a fistful of popcorn that's been tossed in a fire. Violent, connected, but not coordinated.

Tangentially, the Militias are where they are because it's safe. Very few of them are eager to do anything, because having a big campout playing soldier in the woods once a weekend gets expensive real quick, and they're all HOA members and jet-ski dealership owners during the week. You only get exceptions with people like lavoy finicum, who was being paid 100 grand a year to run a foster child abuse farm, and then found out during the malheur occupation that the state had moved in and taken the children out of his custody, so suddenly he found himself in the same dead end as all these 8chan shooters.

these people have zero operational security, as anyone who reads this thread knows. and they can be incited to horrible acts of violence quite easily. if the FBI wanted to play their incite and entrap tricks on them, they could round up a bunch of them easy. they don't do it because they don't want to. a lot of them probably agree with their politics.
