Yes. I agree. I'm not advocating they be ignored at a local level, just that they're really not threatening in the slightest in the national context.
Their growth strategy is dogshit too. They don't have much appeal outside of incredibly poor and racist which is completely different to american fascists who have strong middle-income and petit-boug growth, not many poor people owning those 80k trucks or huge expensive gun collections. The class demographics that our fash appeal to are much lower than the american fash.
Like shit, you can physically see how poor these people are in the videos. A lot of them probably do not work and are lumpen.
Agreed, and for what it's worth I didn't think you were advocating ignoring or downplaying it at a local level. Just awful seeing it, and particularly in one place close by where I lived for a while many years ago and worked with orgs to pretty much stamp out the BNP back in the day. I always appreciate your posts comrade.
