Basically party thugs. Go around harassing people
Ah ok? Is that specific to a region? I never heard of this.
Edit: I meant region, not reason. Autocorrect.
Kinda. It’s a reference to the SA. It’s become a shorthand for fascist paramilitaries that haven’t seized power, so like one could call the proud boys brownshirts.
But it’s regional because they only wore brown in Germany. Italy had the blackshirts and Americans wore silver.

Other users were kind enough to point out that they are a Nazi group. That's all I needed to know.
