    The one thing I'd add to this great thread is that imagination of American right, "the left" is always racialized (specifically as threat of Black insurgency). So BLM & biggest anti-racist protests in American history are in fact something activating fascist reaction.https://twitter.com/lionel_trolling/status/1393179930918273024 …

    The strange thing to me about saying there isn't an ascendant left-wing so there can't be a kind of fascism in reaction to it is it just discounts the hard right's perception of the political field. What they call the left and what leftists call the left are not quite the same

        One underlying divide in the debate over authoritarianism is how seriously people take anti-Black racism as living cultural force (rather than a systemic legacy). It's telling that many of the most clear-eyed writers warning about authoritarianism are Black.

        fascism needs capital's support to really merge with state power, and the whole "woke capital" phenomenon seems to suggest that isn't gonna happen I'm remembering on 1/6 that what really shut everything down was when Nike put out a statement condemning the riot

        Same dynamic as where people associate Farrakan with the left
