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.

    We’ve got hexbear and gofundme.

    Oh shit, I’d never really considered how unique this site is, not surprised it got slammed with wreckers for over a year after it launched

      There's other stuff out there; little social circles on social media, mutual aid groups, etc. But yeah, not a lot of active leftist spaces.
