Abstract:

<h3>Project Summary</h3> This project outlines right-wing revolutionary resistance strategies post-1945: vanguardism; the cell system; leaderless resistance; and metapolitics. It argues that metapolitics became a preferred strategy for many right-wing revolutionaries during the 2000s and early 2010s, and proposes three factors that may help explain this metapolitical turn: limited opportunities for armed resistance; a subcultural style shift; and new opportunities for promoting alternative worldviews online. Finally, it theorizes about the types of threats that may emerge in the wake of this metapolitical turn, and speculates about the likelihood of a new and more violent turn in the near future. <h3>Data Overview</h3> Primary data have primarily been collected online between 2012 and 2021 and consist of magazines, manuals, and online recordings in which ideological authorities discuss strategic options.
