Revolutionaries of the far right: insurgent supremacists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Matthew N. Lyons takes readers on a tour of neonazis and Christian theocrats, by way of the patriot movement, the LaRouchites, and the alt-right. Supplementing this, thematic sections explore specific dimensions of far-right politics, regarding gender, decentralism, and anti-imperialism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntervening directly in debates within left and antifascist movements, Lyons examines both the widespread use and abuse of the term “fascism,” and the relationship between federal security forces and the paramilitary right.
