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.
Oh. That’s entirely COINTELPRO shit. Those groups just get murdered, eradicated, and infiltrated.
The federal government waged a two decades long war against groups like the blank panther party. In many ways, the mechanisms of that program remain today in the ongoing “war on drugs” and mass carceral system
