So nice, we'll do it twice!
*and of course, second go around will be the farce*
the main difference being that mao and adolf were singleton charismats and got the entire youth movements to themselves.
the west is currently split between multiple youth movements that hate each other and it currently seems absurd to imagine someone charismatic enough to bring the bernie bro's and the alt-right froggies under a single banner.
if of course someone does pop up that does do this, lavender will get real very fast.

on a side note - i watch mikey chens dimsum channel for inspiration and food porn, didnt know he did history lessons.
I didn't know Bernie Bros and alt-right Bros were on the verge of dictating terms under the new committee for public safety
Twitter lets everyone play the role of Louis Saint Just: snotty teenager who turned his "f-you mom and dad" feelings into sending everyone to the guillotine.
Maybe another type of social organization happening is more like a Charles Manson set-up.
And I don't mean that facetiously; though I certainly don't intend to imply the psychopathy and criminality of the example.
But it was a group of weirdos advocating alternative living with the hope of some apocalyptic scenario which would put them on top of the totem. And at its core is a charismatic leader capable enough of forming strong bonds communally but not socially with any sort of extension.
Meanwhile, they live off of periphery of a certain amount of patrons who are never exactly comfortable with them but will not cut them off.
And it isn't just leftists going with this model-- what else is this Richard Spencer character doing??
The one difference being that the weirdo Richard Spencers of the world have almost zero patrons of any serious means. There are no NGOs to support and propagate him, no elected officials who will invite them to his office and push for his platform, no celebrities ready to write big checks to him and spread his message in media.
