RE: Steve Bannon Leaving And The Defeat Of The Alt-Right
You must be living under a rock. Briebart labeled itself as "Alt-Right" and used to proudly use that title. It had nothing to do with what we now read as "alt-right". Briebart meant it to mean the "hard core conservative" or right base of the Republican/Conservative party. Briebart is very right leaning/pro free enterprise.
They started in Jerusalem and it's still one of their main political regions so one would hardly think they support Nazis/KKK as you seem to indicate. The argument falls flat on it's face. :)
Regardless of what you think you might know the National Socialist German Workers’ Party—later shortened to Nazi party is neither democrat or republican based. Around the country today, a more true form of democratic socialism is not only taking form but growing in the form of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Following last year’s election and the rise of self-proclaimed democratic socialist and Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont). http://www.newsweek.com/nazis-democrats-socialists-alt-right-650572
If you think the car attack in Charlottesville was a huge victory for the left you are crazy. That's like saying when James Hodgkinson shot Scalise and other GOPs at the softball game was a huge victory for Republicans. Same with the 5 police officers who were shot by a BLM sniper. Would you consider that a huge victory for Republicans? I sure wouldn't. All of these events are a sad mark on our country.
BTW, James Alex Fields, the Driver Charged in Charlottesville Killing was a democrat. Does that make you feel better or worse? All of these and other examples are fringe lunatics who are mental and in need of help. It's a sad day when you try to politicize it.
Did you see the GOP take pride in the softball shooting using that to demonize Bernie or the Democrats? Shame on you!
"Alt-Left" as being used today are mostly considered anarchists and tend to have very (extreme) liberal tendencies. These groups would be BLM and Antifa. I'd assume you would denouce these groups as much as KKK or Nazi since they are all HATE groups when you get down to it. None are any better than the rest. They are equally violent. Antifa/BLM are probably the worst of the bunch since they think nothing of attacking and killing police officers and have done so many times in the last year.
The article is not being critical of any right wing group. I think you read it wrong. The left is very twisted, they use the media to manipulate reality. In other words if they can make peaceful so called right wing people look violent thats a big victory for them although its false. What the article was trying to say is that Breitbart news brought together the new right which are many different idealogies on the right. It was a platform for all the right so to say. The article then agrees with you. You're wrong about the term alt-right. That term was in fact coined by Richard Spencer. Where the msm is wrong is that the alt-right is not white supremacist or kkk or nazi or any of that garbage. There a ethno nationalist group or simply put a white pride group. The msm grouped all the "new" right or conservative groups together and started calling them "alt-right", although the true alt right is not true american conservatism. That's why people who are involved in politics on the right now use alt right for white ethno nationalists like Richard Spencer and Alt-light for edgy conservatives like Gavin Mcciness or Milo Yiannopoulos. What the article is saying is that although conservatives or Alt-lighters should denounce Alt-Righters they should also defend the alt right when the left tries to take away their right to speech and assembly.
