Riassunto:

<p>A major study of movements that strive to overthrow the U.S. government, that often claim to be anti-imperialist and sometimes even anti-capitalist yet also consciously promote inequality, hierarchy, and domination, generally along explicitly racist, sexist, and homophobic lines. Revolutionaries of the far right: insurgent supremacists.</p><p>In this book, Matthew N. Lyons takes readers on a tour of neonazis and Christian theocrats, by way of the patriot movement, the LaRouchites, and the alt-right. Supplementing this, thematic sections explore specific dimensions of far-right politics, regarding gender, decentralism, and anti-imperialism.</p><p>Intervening directly in debates within left and antifascist movements, Lyons examines both the widespread use and abuse of the term &#8220;fascism,&#8221; and the relationship between federal security forces and the paramilitary right. His final chapter offers a preliminary analysis of the Trump presidential administration relationship with far-right politics and the organized far right&#8217;s shifting responses to it.</p><p>Both for its analysis and as a guide to our opponents, <em>Insurgent Supremacists</em> promises to be a powerful tool in organizing to resist the forces at the cutting edge of reaction today.</p>
