obv a vanguard party can be very small, and so can set a minimum on quality of recruits from the class it leads

It seems to me that simply turning such people away is not a sufficient solution given that people can operate alone or in separate groups. These people seem smart enough to be ideological, but for some reason they don't consider consequences. Either that, or they're sociopathic

I think the idea that some people getting involved in radical right wing ideas are notivated by hate to have some truth to it.

that's to be expected, you recruit resistance to an injury from the victims. so if you say "weirdos" instead of sociopaths, maybe you're right
