Bray has yet to find a major commercial press for his tracts and, so far as I can tell, remains a. lowly lecturer.
Despite its obvious incompatibility with the dominant political culture, the alt-right seems to have rallied philosophically deeper thinkers than the slogan-chanting adolescents who swarm around Bray.
Bray's Left has nothing in common with the Left that existed in interwar Europe.
What similarly deep cause is driving Bray and his allies? I can't seem to find one other than seizing power or simply letting off steam.
This is not to pick on Bray and the antifa in particular.
As with those who represent our current ideologies, e.g., conservatism and liberalism, Bray calls to mind certain Mafia myth makers of years past in the way he creates a desired pedigree for his enterprise.
What Bray is doing is inventing a pedigree for a Johnny-come-lately movement that he is trying to link to the historic Left.
