Yep. Natsocs/patsocs/la rouchites and more recently MAGA communist in the USA are western chauvanists cut from the same cloth. They're unopposed and unpersecuted 'pseudo-leftists' that are to the best I can tell propped up to divert revolutionary discontent away from capitalism and towards an ill-defined 'elite'. In so doing, making it easier for actually anti-capitalist projects and groups within the imperial core to be lumped in together and smeared as right-wing conspiracy.
I always think of them as American Nazbols, who are more of a thing in Eastern Europe. Fascists in the US tend to be straight-up nazis or klansmen. I guess it was inevitable a group would spring up. Reactionaries love stealing leftwing rhetoric and aesthetics to try luring people who are none the wiser.
Also wouldn't surprise me if they were trying to setup a Night of the Long Knives.
