Correct. This is what some of the intelligent Leftists noticed about MAGA and Bannon and had them worried. The MAGA movement has been going on so long, and been engaged in so much grassroots institutional change, that they are effectively creating a populist, activist, class. Such a thing is necessary for organized political action and affiliation.
The situation is not equal by any stretch of the imagination. They just noticed that it was happening, and were trying to warn the other Leftists not to let it get out of hand.
And while that is important, I fear that the MAGA movement still believes that raw popular support is enough to unseat institutional power, much like the Knights Of The Realm (Royalist Activists in France) did. They learned that popular support and grass roots activism without institutional power is best answered by a "wiff of grapeshot". Unfortunately, I believe something similar may still happen to the MAGA movement. I admit that I thought it already would have, but I'm not sure that the Fabians who lord over us are willing to stay Fabians.
If the left opened fire on a MAGA protest that would open the biggest can of ass whooping ever produced outside of a world war. People are one major incident from boiling over and our side has the overwhelming majority of armed and trained veterans and civilians.
I agree, but the question is whether or not the Fabian temperament has cooled.
And to be honest, it may have. In 2020, they were out of control, but as we've seen from the British Labour Party, they appear to be trying to push more right-wing aesthetics to try and politically solidify their control.
