  • The far left would win over the long term because their tactics are subtle and psychological and spread the ideology as a culture, then they try to concretise the ideology into law. They are always 'low key' at war with the world at large, anyway. Like how you cook a frog in a frying pan: you heat it very, very slowly until it realises it's half-dead and can't escape. Tactics that depend on such slow, long-term movement cannot afford to stop and start.

    The far right would win if war were suddenly 'declared' between the two, because they seem more likely to go for outright physical force. But as they're not big on stealth, I reckon the authorities would soon start to intervene to stop the violence unless they won a very quick victory. If 1) war were 'declared', 2) the far right attacked repeatedly but ineffectively, 3) the far left cried 'uncle' repeatedly and 4) the authorities suppressed the violence effectively enough each time, the far left would have the time and the ammunition they needed up their game.

    • The left's efforts to disarm the right by making their weapons illegal is futile. The right percieves owning illegal weapons as a right endowed by the creator himself. In the end, firepower dictates the order of battle. To win the peace, the left must appeal to those of a moderate political mindset.
