I wonder if it's not much different than what we saw years ago from the far left. Whichever ideological wing isn't in power, fights against the state apparatus.

I wonder if it's not much different than what we saw years ago from the far left. Whichever ideological wing isn't in power, fights against the state apparatus. It seems that since the ideological left currently holds most state power, you see far right groups on the attack. When the right had the power, you had far left groups on the attack. Just a dispassionate observation..
- LarsDu88 4y agoThe KGB was active in supporting leftwing extremists in the 70s such as Red Army Faction. Guess who was one of the KGB officers in contact with RAF in the late 80s? That's right, none other than Putin. The modern FSB nurtures contacts on both far left and far right, a long with folks like Tulsi Gabbard. I think the big lesson for modern Russian active measures is that you can only get so far with leftist intellectuals and intelligencia before they push back (see George Orwell). The militaristic, chauvinistic, and overwhelmingly rural conservatives are a lot easier to ring in nowadays since so many of them have been economically displaced by globalization and alienated by the abandonment of tradition.
