166. I have concerns about that
In terms of sheer numbers, the hardcore right are in the minority but from my point of view here (in Britain), it seems that they are vastly more motivated. Look, I don't like to throw this word around much because I know too well what it means but what we are seeing here is the formative steps of fascism: A nationalist faction, emerging from a mostly rural and.or uneducated populace, calling for a return to some imagined golden age and willing to embrace violence to do so. Here, we have a long history of getting out in the streets and fighting them (see The 43 Group or the Battle Of Cable Street) but there, it seems that people are unwilling to actually fight.
