  • I have thought about this idly a lot and I wonder if the crux of the matter isn’t violence. Reactionaries are indiscriminately violent. They will use violence against their enemies, themselves, everyone; it doesn’t matter to them. They are all singularly united on that front, without question. This is, as history makes evident, not sustainable, but I really do think that’s the heart of it. In the imperial core, at least, any progressive movement does not appear to have this, nor even a hint of response to it, lacking any sort of vanguard. We are not unified on method, to speak nothing on goals, but even the most heinous skinhead thugs and the most timid of right-wing decorum-obsessed politicians have the same means to any end, and it is a simple one: violence.
