I tend toward doubting it, given his history of indiscretions, but we will see. There’s not a particularly deep bench of people that come close in terms of influence, but it is possible
Only Stolypin’s necktie works against them. These radical leftists think future administration will pardon them, or some sympathetic judge will quietly free them years later.
Excellent piece! Of all the historical examples I’ve considered in trying to analyze where America is on the empire collapse arc and “what’s next”, I’m embarrassed that I really hadn’t considered that the period covered here was just the opening act of what’s to come. Now I need to get smarter on the Troubles… thanks for taking the time to write this and for the book recommendation.
These were radicals not leftists. They wanted an actual revolution and people on the left were trying to change the system and not destroy it. These people did shock people but most of them were killed or left the country. And if you are an actual liberal or progressive you don’t condone this violence and hatred!
I have a copy of Days of Rage, one of many I want to read.
I would recommend it as soon as you can get to it. It was very eye-opening
The Kamala Harris interview by Rachael Maddow validates your post. You are prophetic on this! https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/09/23/kamala-harris-knocks-trump-tyrant-maddow-interview/86307453007/
Will check it out, thanks
Great article! Learned a lot and just bought the book now.
Thank you! Hope you find the book interesting
Thank you. Long read, worth the time. It gave me that frog in the pot of boiling water feeling. You are doing good work.
Thank you! Absolutely
Do you think we’ll be entering our own Years of Lead scenario like Italy in the 60s & 70s?
I’ll definitely add Days of Rage to my TBR list. 👍
Probably something like it. The Troubles is probably close to what we’ll get, imo, though probably more gunfire than bombs
Yeah, I forgot about the Troubles, that’s another likely scenario.
Excellent. Who do you think takes up the mantle of right wing youth now?
Another excellent history lesson from our forgotten past. The American Tribune is a treasure and a rare historian who does the reading.
Thank you very much!
No idea, sadly
Fuentes made a strong play for it last night. Who knows if he can maintain message discipline.

Fedentes? Doubt it.

Just obey the law and vote harder.

I hope blacks take a shine to 2A patriotism and adopt open carry, en mass, across America.
