USA, Paramilitärs, Weiße Nationalisten, Rechte MilizenAbstract
In den letzten Jahren hat es auch auf der extremen Rechten einen Mobilisierungsschub gegeben. In dem Beitrag wird davon ausgegangen, dass eine Paramilitarisierung durch Milizen geschehen konnte, die mit »Weißen Nationalisten« gemeinsame Sache machen oder als Vollstrecker für Donald Trump und verbündete republikanische Politiker agieren würden. Tatsächlich scheinen alle rechtsextremen Gruppen am 6. Januar 2021 beim Angriff auf das Kapitol Trump als denjenigen gesehen zu haben, der zentrale Befehle geben würde. Das ist nicht geschehen. Aber die Beteiligung von so vielen »überzeugten Gläubigen« bei dieser Aktion macht die Frage nach der Paramilitarisierung noch dringlicher. Die Beteiligten könnten eine kritische Masse für künftige Bemühungen bieten, Pro-Trump-Paramilitärs jenseits der organisierten Gruppen entstehen zu lassen.
