It just occurred to me that the global counterinsurgency project Kyle Burke writes about in REVOLUTIONARIES FOR THE RIGHT was basically accomplishing the dream of a right-wing Abraham Lincoln Battalion.
I'm working on a conference paper trying to trim and consolidate some of my Franco material from my dissertation, connecting it to some of the scholarship on the later periods, and... yeah.
And then of course what Burke calls the "revolutionaries of the right" come home, in a sense -- that's the whole point of Belew's book.
But there's something else, too. The *structure* of the international paramilitaries sustains and grows into the 21st century.

To the point where paramilitary organizations that were formed for counterinsurgency operations against communists and Islamic radicals are now being deployed as auxiliaries by a fascistic U.S. government in American cities.
