The freikorps and later the SA and Hitler were always fighting with the communists int the streets, just like today.

Communist/antifa/blm rioting and the left and the democrats politics are playing a huger role in the rise of the radical right today just like the left did in germany in the 1920s

In 1919 the early form of the nazis (DAP) had single digits in numbers, Hitler received a membership card with the number 7 in 1919. By 1920 they had grown to over 101 members, 12 years later they ran the country. That is what the radical left inspires .

And the other 90% have either never heard of them, or realize that there is no such thing. The "alt-right" is something made up by leftists in the Democrat party and the media, desperate to find another excuse to call Republicans names after getting soundly whipped in the Nov. 2016 elections.

Richard Spencer initially promoted the term in 2010 in reference to a movement centered on white nationalism, and did so according to the Associated Press to disguise overt racism, white supremacism, and neo-Nazism. The term drew considerable media attention and controversy during and after the 2016 US presidential election.

You DO know who Richard Spencer is, right?

Carry on.

Funny, more dems were polled in this thread and it's all about repubs?

Maybe some of these lefties on here can show me in those graphs where it differentiates between dems and repubs....

As you may or may not have noticed, the thread title states "Americans support" not the right supports...

Again.....a lot of reading comprehension problems, on the left....

10% seems about right. I would say about a quarter of Republicans definitely fall into the alt right views. All you have to look at who represents Republicans in the media. Breitbart is more popular than Fox News by (Alexa Rank), and while I don't like Fox news their moderate compared to Breitbart. Look at CNN it is ranked 26, Buzzfeed which isn't even a real political site as much as it is TMZ-lite is ranked 50th. Both of those are higher ranked than Breitbart and Fox though. My point is SJW propaganda doesn't even affect state politics let alone national politics yet people act like it is anywhere except a university campus. The Alt-Right is actively trying to gain political power, and as much as SJW is considered cancerous by the right, it is still mainstream and accepted, while Alt-Right politics in at least urban areas might get you fired or lead to people abandoning your business for a good reason. Because SJW talk for the most part is just talk and doesn't have a proven track record of causing the downfall of societies like Nationalism and Racial Superiority talk does.

Just because more Dems were polled doesn't mean anything except the numbers could be potentially higher if more Right Wingers were polled. Anyone who votes Democratic party and is a Neo Nazi or White Supremacist is an idiot as the Democratic party is home to SJWs and most minorities, Dem policies tend to be pro-immigration which is about 48% White (about 15% Non-Hispanic White) which is the opposite of what Neo-Nazis stand for so I think it is fair to Assume that 90% of those favorable to Neo-Nazis were Republicans and Independents.

So, you really don't have an answer. Congrats.....

Hmm well on the right it is or at least started out being stratified along self identified boundaries, as stated earlier "alt-right" started out as a self identification... even if it has since morphed.

That is another problem with labels... after they are created you cannot control who adopts them. Look at the guy who invented Pepe the frog and then killed him off when he saw the alt-right adopting it as a mascot. He definitely did not foresee that chain of events.

Alt-left on the other hand was not a self adopted label but rather a label placed on groups from people outside the group. So it makes sense that it would be more nebulous.

There are self identified groups on the left that are dangerous and worthy of derision, I would say ANTIFA being one of them. I wouldn't go so far as BLM since I do not believe the majority of people who would identify themselves as being in BLM are necessarily malicious, despite the rogue actors.

Where as I would define ANTIFA's self stated strategies as malicious, meaning you would have to at least tacitly support their actions to be part of the group.

It is not a bad thing to be against fascism... but it is a bad thing to be against fascism and willing to resort to violence of aggression (rather than defense) in your crusade against it.
Pepe is interesting LOL.

Dude creates him with benign intentions. He's on the internet for over a decade with no issues. The alt-Right adopts him. Then members of I guess the alt-Light and just outright trolls adopt him knowing how badly he ticks off anyone on the Left.

There's that morphing thing again.

I was noting this the other day when talking about the Confederate flag debate. As a conservative (though I'm an anarcho-capitalist making me a plain old non-statist) I like the idea of adopting the flag as a symbol just to tick the Left off. All of the Left.

That's pretty much what happened with Pepe after awhile. The flag is clearly a whole other ballgame with its history and whatnot but the idea is the same: just tick off the Left.

The thing with the mainstream Left is they are seen as the dominant force in mainstream media and academia. When we get crazy stories out of these places (Asian Robert Lee booted off doing a football game, the banana peel incident at Ole Miss) folks look at that as a reflection of the Left. Some might say even the pulse of the Left.
