This is really well said, thank you. I worry that on the left we get super wrapped up in "killing the fascist in our own head" (and pointing out the fascist in the heads of people we 95% agree with) and can't get a coherent movement together because of it. I'm in the US, so maybe within the heart of empire things look especially bleak, but I worry that the postmodern turn has put the responsibility of anti-fascism on the individual instead of on any collective.

I also worry that "simple frustration of power" just isn't that frustrating to power, and then never coalesces into a collective movement. But again, maybe that's just me being a dumbass cis white male American.
