A Constellation of Threats: Far-Rightists Respond to the BLM Uprising

My latest at Three Way Fight, on the response of different movements on the U.S. Right to the summer 2020 George Floyd uprising.

“It’s important to remember that when we talk about the far right, we’re not talking about a single unitary force, but rather a constellation of different actors, organizations and movements with different interests and levers of power in our current moment.

There’s the far right authoritarian state, and state-aligned institutions, intensifying repression, policing and incarceration against our movements and communities. 

And there are far right, insurrectionist social movements that often oppose the current state, and seek to destabilize and overthrow the existing order to achieve even more extreme anti-democratic and White supremacist goals. 

Using the three-way fight model, we can trace how these various far right forces overlap, converge and diverge in our evolving moment.”
