It's interesting that the two major American champions of Georges Sorel were James Burnham (grand-father of the alt-right) and Christopher Lasch (father of the post-left).

IDK much about Gramsci or Sorel tbh but yes, accelerationism is a thing on both sides of the ideological spectrum & whilei get it, I’m not that into it.

Surely sir, you must be joking. The Sorelian Left? This imaginary bogeyman hasn't been seen in the wild in over 30 years.

yeah it’d be nice to see at least a single example of a person or group that represents anti-BLM pro-1/6er leftists. Are we taking Maoist’s or Leninist? Maybe to name them would be to demonstrate their irrelevancy & thus undermine the argument?

Sounds super-smart, & maybe a real trend, but it's also the case that billions of federal & state USD annually flow to hard-right Christian supremacist organizations bent on subjugating the world for Jesus, and some of those orgs are integrated into US foreign policy.

the point abt the "Sorelian Left" being actl quite conservative is so important; there's a real heavy romantic ideal of "The American Character/People" among allot of these folks, which drives their need to find and defend the "white working class" within con reactionaries.

IMO,
@lionel_trolling and you may be imposing too coherent an ideology on the (new version of) "post-left" folks if that's who you mean to describe. Their rationalizations for anti-BLM and flirting with RW forms of populism are frequently opportunistic. -
By which I mean their anti-BLM/antifa arguments have pivoted between "they are too impractical, we need more serious pursuits of power" and "they are co-opted and just represent existing power." Hence the frequent use of "radlib" as an epithet to cover both ends.
