Magic the gathering, Warhammer, Video Games, even fantasy and scifi fiction, they all have had big I fights with right wingers in the last decade. The only exception I can think of maybe (MAYBE) would be DnD. Thoughts?

I don't think it's exclusive to any tendency, though generally I think it's more prevalent online than in the real world. I see it as taking the form of LARPing or lifestylist behavior, and a focus on aesthetics, performance, and a certain view of class identity.
Also, when I'm talking about those who hold onto a revenge fantasy, I'm talking about people who are primarily motivated by a sense anger towards certain groups or individuals and a desire to harm them. In most cases, there's very good reason to be angry, and I've sometimes let it dominate my own thoughts, but focusing solely on anger probably isn't productive when it comes to the long term goal of replacing capitalism.
I hope none of this sounds preachy or overly critical towards anyone, by the way. I think I've been guilty of these things myself in the past, but it's just something I've been thinking about a lot more lately.
