I have a leftist friend who's a historian writing a paper on how the right is so successful at organizing and why the left sucks at it. Trying to help them gather sources. The more scholary the better.

She's particularly looking at right wing paramilitary organizations (proud boys, 3%s ect) And why the left has trouble forming their own.

Edit: question might have been a bit ambiguous, we all know a lot of the basic reasons for this, what I need is the type of thing that can be used for an academic research paper. Interesting discussion is still good though so have at it.

    Eh, I'm pretty sure "Exiting the Vampire Castle" was written about the British left, though it describes the American left perfectly.

      Wasn't that more about identity and morals than sectarian thought?

      We fight over that shit a lot, we do not much fight over red vs black, or red vs red. The american left sure does that a lot.
