    Maybe, right now they're super disorganized and if you make the mistake of lurking in their platforms there's a lot of infighting . I see more American version of Italy's Years of Lead and eventual split than I do Beer Hall Putsch, at least for what I'm seeing now. Even more infighting now since some chuds feel Trump betrayed them, others are still in the messianic cult hoping for miracles.

    The pictures for today will be iconic and in any future textbooks under the decline and collapse of neoliberalism. We thought the US was a diamond and stone tiger when really its paper mache with origami portions, far less competent with limited ability to handle the vast amounts of data and dynamic situations of the 21st century.

      Now that you mention the years of lead I realize you may have a point. Problem with that in Italy was the moderates cracked down hard on the less organized right and from those years on the socialists lost a lot of political power, probably because the communist’s terrorism was better organized and more effective. I hope this situation leads to a real emboldening and radicalization of the American left, but we’ll have to see. By the way, the reason I’m particularly interested in your years of lead comparison is because my dad was in high school in the years of lead, and he had classmates who organized with the red brigades. Very politically divided time indeed, perhaps I should ask him more about those days given the current situation.

        I'm going off observations of writings I read by Pasolini and then others in regards to him around the time of his murder, and I felt there's a lot of parallels. Essays can't give experience like a live person can.
