Stock analyzes "Active Clubs" as an extremist "Comradeship Model 2.0."

Old Wine in New Boxing Gloves? The Phenomenon of the "Active Clubs"

Bastian Stock analyzes the strategies of a new form of right-wing extremist organization—the so-called Active Clubs—in a post for the Centre for Research on Right-Wing Extremism (Wi-REX) blog.

The Active Clubs represent one of the most dynamic current developments in modern right-wing extremism. Driven by an aesthetic that prioritizes fitness, masculinity, and lifestyle, these decentralized cells recruit young men and occupy new spaces—particularly on social media.

Stock illuminates the profound strategic parallels to the Free Comradeships of the 90s, revealing how the Active Clubs are reviving the principle of leaderless, violence-prone resistance. Sport is deliberately used for metapolitical intervention and preparation for a "Day X."
