      The grave—global—threat is fascism and authoritarianism consolidating state power. Need to link the power of protest to countering *that*.

      German Nazis consolidated power not because they weren't opposed in the streets—they were—but because of strategic weakness of opposition.

          And once they consolidated state power they could crush the opposition—streets couldn't win against state violence —and carry out genocide.

          Most Western left has never faced full violence of the state. I wish we taught the 1930s. It wasn't lack of street fighting. The opposite.

          What does strategic strength look like for today's resistance? Is it more about message or methods? Political victories or public sentiment?

          Well one thing the left should be willing to support and vote for imperfect candidates (while pushing them for a more just society)

          I disagree. It was the financial support from industrialists & media just like Murdoch and Mercer today support Nazis & @potus "fine people"

          The German left was fragmented in 30's: the social democrats feared the communists almost more than fascists. We should not make same error.

          That was because the communists wanted to end parliamentary democracy and Stalin killed millions including thousands of social democrats.

          Two things are required: violent reaction, and for liberals to then accept and promote fascist's "many sides" equivalency of risk.

          Poses problem: fascists can use *anything* to other a group, to create a threat. They can and do make shit up if they want.
