Tune into this interview by Out-FM’s Bob Lederer with two longtime writers for the blog ThreeWay Fight ( http://threewayfight.blogspot.com/ ) who have closely studied the far right, Matthew Lyons and Xloi. Last week, we brought you Part 1 of our interview with two progressive journalists who are experts on the far right in this country, looking at what the January 6th violent assault on the Capitol Building revealed about the sometimes conflicting factions on the right. On Tuesday night we bring you the second and final part of this interview.

The Capitol attack of course aimed to stop the certification of Biden’s election. It left 5 people dead and scores injured. It spotlighted the far right, a movement that has been steadily building in this country for decades. From from months of murderous attacks last year against the Black Lives Matter and related movements, these far right groups, including Proud Boys, the OathKeepers, QAnon, and others – all of them strongly white supremacist, with some waving Confederate flags -- were heavily involved in the January 6th assault on the Capitol.

GUESTS:

Matthew Lyons has been writing about right-wing politics for over 25 years. He is the author of Insurgent Supremacists: The U.S. Far Right's Challenge to State and Empire (2018, Kersplebedeb and PM Press), co-author with Chip Berlet of Right-Wing Populism in America (2000, Guilford Press), and a regular contributor to the radical antifascist blog Three Way Fight. Matthew is a white, Jewish, cis, heterosexual man based in Pennsylvania.

Xloi does investigative reporting and analysis on the far right and other issues. She is also a contributor to the Three Way Fight. Xloi is a white jewish, cis, queer woman based in California.

(John Riley was co-producer and key co-planner of the interview, as well as program engineer.)

Behind the Capitol Storming: Breaking Down the New Far Right

This is the first of a two-part series. Stay tuned for the air date of Part 2. In the coming days, check outfm.org for the audio and video archive.

The Trump zealots who stormed the Capitol building on January 6th, leading to at least 5 deaths, were part of a growing far-right movement. 

Tune into this interview by Out-FM’s Bob Lederer with two longtime writers for the blog ThreeWay Fight (http://threewayfight.blogspot.com/) who have closely studied the far right, Matthew Lyons and Xloi. 

  •     They’ll break down the far right’s conflicting factions, including racists, misogynists, homophobes, and transphobes, including the important role of Christian theocrats.
  •     Matthew, author of the book Insurgent Supremacists: The U.S. Far Right's Challenge to State and Empire, will expand on his recent observation that “a huge chunk of the U.S. population has suddenly shifted, at least temporarily, from system-loyal politics to oppositional politics. The size of the U.S. far right…has increased by an order of magnitude.”
  •     Matthew and Xloi will also discuss the growing sector that claims to be “color-blind” and even includes some token people of color, while still espousing a clear politics of white domination.
  •     They will also explain why progressives must oppose the growing mainstream call for legislation against domestic terrorism -- even echoed by some on the Left. Xloi and coauthor B. Sandor have written: “Lawmakers are already using the events at the Capitol to introduce legislation to increase police presence at protests and adopt measures to further criminalize all dissent. What is this political amnesia that we have? Within a moment, the momentum and political consciousness gained after years of anti-police struggles that culminated in the mass movements against the murder of George Floyd seemingly went in reverse.”  

    Plus much more...
