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.
the records from a few decades ago are public now - they absolutely have as far as we know and there's no indication they let up in the more recent decades where we don't have data yet.
Which are the records that say tha the US has spend billions in let's say the 90s and 00s specifically for domestic radical left organizing supression
