        What worries me most is that this message is percolating down to mainstream Republicans - that the people fighting injustice are radicals.

        A large part of why Dutch volunteered for the SS was to fight the Bolsheviks

        Yup. Also, from Paxton: "Fascists could never attain power without the acquiescence or even active assent of the traditional elites..."

        And yet "economic anxiety" has nothing to do with the rise of the populist right.

        Yes. Lefty street violence is a neccessary element for fascism to win over the middle class. If lefties stay home, fascists are jobless nuts

        what's the difference between democratic political-economic reforms and populist left reforms? Describe one which is not also the other.

        I asking about the "reforms" not the reformers. So left populists want democratic political and economic reforms?
