Are you implying those groups were infiltrated and sabotaged by the alt right baddies and that is why they failed?
- vlovich123 3y agoWhether or not that’s true, I think it does support the claim that the far left is not as dangerous as far right groups of similar popularity - the latter appear to endure for much longer and have much more political impact.
- krapp 3y agoNot by the "alt-right baddies" per se, but the history of infiltration against "subversive" groups by American law enforcement and intelligence - in particular against black activist groups - is long and well documented. When it comes to leftist activism in the US I assume COINTELPRO by default. Similar effort against right-wing groups is more limited and politically difficult because such groups would be considered militias protected by the Second Amendment. It's much easier to get away with suppressing left-wing speech than right-wing violence in the US. - https://www.nlg.org/cointelpro-disrupting-resistance-movements-in-the-digital-age/ https://www.nlg.org/cointelpro-disrupting-resistance-movemen... - https://www.democracynow.org/2023/2/7/alphabet_boys_podcast_fbi_subterfuge https://www.democracynow.org/2023/2/7/alphabet_boys_podcast_...
