He’s a long time fixture of the “frog twitter” scene of fascist intellectuals. He seems to be atively pursing a red/brown alliance, by courting “left” personalities like the Red Scare girls, Aimee Teresee, and now Glenn Greenwald.
He’s actually a talented writer and has fairly astute political analysis. I was following him on Twitter for quite a while without realizing that he was fash, because he more or less keeps a lid on his less savory beliefs, to the extent that he mostly expresses them under the guise of “irony.”
The quote above includes a good example: it sounds like a joke, but his audience really is composed of Nazis, anti-semites, and homophobes.
Thx for filling me in. Just wondering, where you would put 1) Saagar Enjeti and 2) Krystal Ball in promoting a red-brown alliance if you have an opinion on them ?
I’m less familiar with them, but from what I understand they represent more of a red/blue alliance, meaning Republican and Democrat. They have different ideas but ultimately both want to preserve and operate inside the neoliberal world order, albeit with different ideas about how that order should be managed.
The hypothetical Red/Brown alliance that gets discussed on this site between fascists and communists is a different beast from that, because the ultimate goal of that alliance is the destruction of the current world order. Of course, because the communists and the fascists have such radically different ideas about what needs to be built to replace that order, any temporary alliance would ultimately end in the two sides trying to tear themselves apart.
