    I think it means violent activists are more likely to attack members of their community (i.e. people who live in the same city as you and are relatively close to you on the social-economic scale) than actual brownshirts

      Maybe also, but I think the argument is rather that once the brown shirts nearby are gone they will find someone else to turn on, and historically speaking this was often their previous allies with some minor ideological disagreements.
