If the last few years teach us anything, it is how much can be achieved with confidence. Or, to put it another way, with voluntarist strategies founded on the confidence of speculators. The Left has its own versions of voluntarism, but here I want to focus on the Right. The forces of reaction, be they neocons, theocons, white nationalists, Islamophobes, border fetishists, MRAs, lone wolves and outright fascists, are selling confidence and power to audiences that are crying out for it. They have achieved much by gambling with enormous stakes. They have been chaotic, adventurist, sometimes violent and entrepreneurially criminal, and it has worked.
