Along with the recent increase in neofascist ideas we have seen the emergence of the concept of ‘Männerbund’ – or men’s group – generally described as a group of culturally similar heterosexual men who coordinate together in an organic hierarchy. Rather than simply criticising this form of organising, I would like to briefly introduce the problems that right wing theorists of masculinity introduce as problems for the left: problems of sexual difference, of the need for structure in order to coordinate effectively, and of the potential negative impacts of relationships and sexual violence upon organising. Do we have adequate theories of organising which can respond to these right-wing critiques of liberal democracy?
