      these are interesting questions. i sort of made an attempt in my feb 6/jan 6 piece when i talked about the technological differences between political mobilization in the past and todayhttps://twitter.com/stcolumbia/status/1478857305676464133 …

      Dan Trombly @stcolumbia
      In the year since J6 the question a lot of analyses provoke is: why wasn't it worse then, and why hasn't it been worse since? Way too many analyses seem to proceed from the assumption that solving the collective action problem is relatively trivial for far-right militants.

      reaching mass audiences with propaganda is easier now but it also does not create lasting structures of organization that were needed in the past

      the other thing is the relative failure of the american far right to build urban street fighting cadre rather than rural/suburban militias

      I think one area where those who are critical of the fascism analogy have a point is the absence of the experience of mass military mobilization & total war. WWI created a lot of guys used to organizing along military lines & inured to violence.

          the only problem with that point is that by the 30s many streetfighters were too young to have fought in the war but yeah in general war and politics do not have the same organizational needs

          Well, thank God we haven’t been in involved in multiple wars of occupation for the past two decades or anything like that.

          I think this is another place where the difference is of degree not kind: there were lots of vets at 1/6, and many, many more in the militia movement.

          The thing that I think ppl miss is that the hard turn to organized violence comes when you can't get your way through the normal electoral process. When you have to destabilize your way to power. There is every reason to believe that Rs will do very well in 22 and perhaps 24.
