The article you posted on the ironic rightward shift of Gen X was good, but they failed to mention how many far-left scenes were starting to ally themselves with the far-right back in the 90s, ironically over a mutual disdain for capitalism and desire to inflict cruelty on others. I’ve seen multiple communists and anarchists go Full Fash during the past few years.
The angle I’ve noticed via keeping tabs on the Portland leftist scene is antifa was not only not hegemonic but actively disliked on the streetier left in the ‘90s and '00s and there is probably enough of that scene – with grudges over being displaced – to reconstitute in a decade
