Are there any exposes on Boogaloo proving this is a popular current in their politics? The vast majority of information I can find on Boogaloo outside of corporate media points to Radical Liberalism being the most common political trend.
I don't claim to be an expert on Boogaloo, but from what I've seen, they flash the white power sign, participate in Trump rallies, defend confederate statues, and do "Rittenhouse" shooter drills. I don't think their white supremacist aspect is overblown by mainstream media.
You say they're made up of "Radical Liberalism," which I don't really understand. The most common use of that phrase is essentially middle-upper class radical support for establishment democrats, usually with some social democratic tendency. Boogaloo as a whole does not strike me at all like that. They are "radical liberals" in the sense that they are not communists or anti-capitalists, but I think the more accurate description is a loosely far-right white power ideology, who would much sooner ally with fascists than with any kind of egalitarian project. Right-wing extreme libertarianism can be rhetorically opposed to fascism, but my reading of history shows that this is just not to be trusted. So any individual claiming to be part of Boogaloo that claims "anti-racism" is always going to be an ideological trojan horse.
That said, I would be curious to hear what your left wing org people have to say.
