    Boogaloo Boys are a far-right accelerationist organization/movement that are named after their desire to launch a second civil war in America (“Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo”). They’re closer to being Proud Boys or Three Percenters than they are to reading Kropotkin or organizing with Food Not Bombs.

    I would say this is similar to how “anarcho”-capitalists try to lay claim to anarchism while espousing right-wing ideas. They might try to claim the name, but their ideology is far from anarchist in actuality.
