I read that article too and when I read it I thought "this is the first time I've seen somebody write this"

My basis for that judgement came from reading a lot about Bannon and my own experiences w/ the "alt-right" and "alt-left". (ex. a "gamergate person" is to me a person who will never let you have the last word in an argument, no matter what they believe about boys and their toys; sometimes they get arrested because they just can't stop arguing with a cop)

I grew in Manchester, NH which was home to the Manchester Union Leader which was a leading conservative publication in the 1980s. I regularly saw editorials by conservatives who were interested in emulating the strategies of the communist theorist Antonio Gramsci.

You should see the Robert Jay Lifton book:

that both left-wing and right-wing activists have that "postmodern personality disorder" that Chris Lasch warned you about.
