wo people charged with conspiracy to damage energy facilities – a neo-Nazi leader and a woman with whom he had a personal relationship – allegedly planned to attack electrical substations encircling Baltimore and “completely destroy” the entire city, according to federal court documents.

The Justice Department has charged Brandon Clint Russell and Sarah Beth Clendaniel with conspiracy to damage energy facilities, alleging that the Maryland-focused plot was driven by ethnically or racially motivated extremist beliefs.

They “conspired to inflict maximum harm on the power grid,” Tom Sobocinski, who heads the FBI’s field office in Baltimore, said during a news conference Monday. “The accused were not just talking, but taking steps to fulfill their threats and further their extremist goals.”

The charges come as domestic violence experts have warned that attempts by extremist groups to attack power facilities are trending up.

She should have run for city council or Mayor. She could destroy it much faster.

He was the guy talking to two toothless drunks at the trailer park, passing out malt liquor. He suggested the idea and they drunkenly said “yeah, man, that’s it.”

So he arrested them.

(I’m making that up, but that’s what this will be.)

Amazing that an actual reminder of what it truly means to be "neo-nazi" is in the article -- they're socialists. I can't believe this was printed (digitally, of course).

Russell, according to the the charging documents, ascribes to having neo-Nazi beliefs and had started his own local National Socialist Group.

In his book, The Road to Serfdom, Hayek argued that socialism and totalitarianism are not exclusive to the left and that collectivist ideologies can arise on the right as well. He pointed out that the Nazis combined elements of state control and collectivism with nationalist and authoritarian principles, making them a form of right-wing socialism.

Orwell, in his essay "What is Fascism?," noted the ambiguity of terms like "fascism" and "socialism" but recognized that the Nazis did incorporate a form of socialism into their nationalist ideology, although it was far removed from traditional leftist socialism.

That’s exactly was Nazism is: Nationalsozialismus = National Socialsm.

They were socialist, yes, but also nationalists, and to the right of the hard-core commies.

So, during and after WII, the lefties (and international communism sympathizers) who did not want to be besmirched by the Nazi connotations called them “far right”. And here we are.

Baltimore was completely destroyed years ago, though the ruins are still inhabited.

I know everything there is to know about Baltimore, because I’ve seen every episode of The Wire.

As an aside, the first I had ever heard of this "socialism of the right" was in Stephen Hicks' book, "Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault."

In his analysis, Hicks examines the ideological similarities between certain right-wing authoritarian movements (his idea, not mine), such as fascism and Nazism, and socialism. He argues that these movements share a collectivist foundation, focusing on the subordination of individual rights to the goals of the state or the collective.

Hicks points out that while socialism is typically associated with the left and emphasizes class-based collectivism, right-wing authoritarian movements like fascism emphasize a different form of collectivism, based on race or nation. However, both systems reject liberal individualism and free-market capitalism in favor of a centralized state control over society and the economy.

He suggests that the differences between left-wing socialism and right-wing collectivism are often more about the identity of the collective (class versus race/nation) rather than a fundamental disagreement on the primacy of the collective over the individual.

Interesting she was a Catonsville woman. As much as that has been taken over by leftists (as usual, they love the quaint places and move in, vote as they always do, then plaster their crap all over town including BLM signs on toy stores, f ag flags, “hate has no home here snowmen” and riot support graffiti on the elementary school for sill sipoort of BLM. This is not quite the town my mom grew up in/near.

Believe me, she will now be persona non grata in leftist ville.

Shouldn’t we try to understand why she feels this way? As these 2-faced leftists always whine about riots and 9/11?

Mostly they were upset the fascists betrayed them. Hitler betrayed his contract with Stalin. Otherwise they were pals before that.

Would anyone notice if Baltimore was destroyed?

The fact that fascism and Nazism "focusing on the subordination of individual rights to the goals of the state or the collective" make them, by definition, left-wing movements, not right-wing movements. Don't fall for the revisionist history relabeling of past left-wing groups as "right-wing".

Indeed. I never understand the logic of this.

If communism is the absolute control of everythign by the state, and are called left, then the OPPOSITE is anarchy, not “fascism”. Hence, being right-wing we are closer to anarchy - freedom.

I despise this construct and don’t know how that got started.
