I think we underestimate the left here. I suspect the organisational seeds the left has will consolidate as the crisis grows and more people become radicalised. the cadres I’ve been talking to often have room to scale, and sometimes fighting capacity, but they want to keep their powder dry where possible and not escalate prematurely, so they keep the street fighting to a minimum and focus on resisting evictions and deportations.

Meanwhile the right are actually pretty keen on vigilantism and in the absence of a target they’ll invent one.
