"Actions speak louder than words. They can claim to be anti fascist, and they can say anyone against them is a fascist because ‘it’s in our name’. It doesn’t mean a thing when they repeatedly engage in violence to intimidate, abuse and silence their opponents - the tools of actual fascists. They chose their name very carefully precisely so people would make the same equivalence you have. But you interpret it how you like, I’ll do the same. " Couldn't have said it better myself | |||

"There have been long running misinformation campaigns about anti fascists on like for years. Very successful too. Here is one example. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-41036631" Smear campaigns don’t really change the fact that they’re violent tho. | |||

"Why on earth would anyone try to defend ANTIFA? More importantly, why would anyone give them such undeserved credit knowing how much trouble they have caused? " But of course the far right consisting , neo-nazis, white supremacists, holocaust deniers, QANON conspiracy fantasists, Religious fruitcakes, people touting armed insurrection, and those with baseless claims of election fraud.... Are perfectly fine ??? Racism and fascism should be opposed at every opportunity... | |||

"Ok let’s get this Straight it’s short for Anti Facist, so presumably those who talk about being against Antifa are Pro fascist? You might as well class everyone who fought against the Nazis in WW2 as ANTIFA I suspect many of the people here are also ANTIFA, because they believe in democracy and freedom against tyranny and also protecting the weak and vulnerable. So to those who believe ANTIFA is some left thing it really isn’t, it’s more a morally decent do the right thing movement. Time to claim the word back from the fascist terrorists who use it as slur. Just saying.... " Well Said I have Friends who were part of the Anti Nazi League back in the 70s & early 80s Going up against The National Front & The British Movement , they were truly Anti Facists It seems America has plenty of groups who are Against Facism & Racism or Bigotry, but there arent many Who have antifa as part of there name | |||

"When I was younger I took part in a few events that were in protest against the BNP. Am I antifa?" I was also doing the same, am I Antifa as well? The think about Fascism is that it relies on the silent majority to remain silent. History should have given us a good idea that doing that is not the right answer, it leads to death & destruction. Trump many not ‘believe in’ Fascism, but he is using it for his own ends and his acolytes are going along with it. | |||

"The question to ask is...are you against fascism? If yes, then you are anti fascist (anti....opposite or against in this context). If no, then you are NOT anti fascist, which doesn't necessarily mean you are pro. That then leads to the debate.."what do you consider to be fascist"" Some people appear to the anti-anti-fascist. Which is a bit of a double negative. | |||

Steve Bannon said he wasn't sure if Trump understood the message and he was a 'blunt instrument' to him. There are many around Trump that do understand the message. And there are those that just see it as a means to power. | |||

That then leads to the debate.."what do you consider to be fascist"" If you are not anti-something, then you assent to it by failing to oppose it; by apathy, if you will. It's a subtle distinction that doesn't matter so much when you're talking about crisp flavours - but it's what led to the rise of Nazism. Not enough Germans could be arsed to oppose it. So, ignore fascist cunts at your peril. | |||

Fascism (/'fæ??z?m/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. I’ll happily stand against fascism. But I won’t stand with Antifa. Does that make me an anti-anti fascist? Or does my wanting to not associate with any organisation that has stooped to using violence automatically make me a fascist too? I just think you're confused. Antifa just means anti fascist. There is no one "antifa" organisation. The right just cannot get their heads around the idea that Antifa is not one political party, or other single structured organisation. It just doesn't compute for them. It's so odd. " Nailed it. Should have just ended the thread here. | |||

"Facism was a response to Communism, that's a fact. You don't call Fascists anti-coms do you. The only reason the horrible ideology was not wiped off the face of the map was because the enemy of enemy is our friend ie the soviet union during world war 2. Plus the allies de-milatrised pretty much straight after ww2 the soviet union did not. We are lucky the US had nuclear deterrents or Russia would of pushed west. Authoritarianism is bad no matter what side you are on. Antifa is not just an idea as you like to espouse. They come from Antifaschistische Aktion which was the militant arm of the German Communist Party (KPD). They use the same tactics as Fascits, attacking political enemies with violence. Think alot of people forgot the political spectrum is not a line but a circle." | |||

Compassion, understanding and empathy are all required to be a woke person. But how can you insult someone who is compassionate and understanding?

"Why on earth would anyone try to defend ANTIFA? More importantly, why would anyone give them such undeserved credit knowing how much trouble they have caused? Why wouldn't people stand up for anti fascists? All the trouble they caused for fascists? Seems okay. The don’t hold the values of anti fascists and you and everyone else knows it. Antifa are a proud fascist violent organisation sponsored by emperor palpatine soros" Guess you are QANON then? | |||

I'll wait" Agree on the circle theory extreme left and extreme right have distinct similarities and disinct differences. This is why there are groups which are around to call out warn us if we go to the extremes. At the moment, the far right are the greatest threat to humanity and society, as we defeated communism in the west ages ago. If groups who are trying to highlight the fact they have returned, it says theres a big problem and need to sort it. Think of antifa as the canary down the coalmine. | |||

"So the highly enlightened ones here have determined that Antifa is a worldwide ethos to be against fascism. Sadly, there IS an organized group of unemployed, handout wanting, shitting in the streets, rioting black hoodie (over blue hair) skateboarding thugs in America that call themselves Antifa. Their actions during the Obama era were the same as they are now. It probably started out with proper ideals and leadership, but has morphed into a replacement for rave parties and the need to have responsibilities as an adult. The name now just tricks good hearted people into overlooking that their actions aren’t against fascism at all. BLM also started out purposeful and now is a money making scheme for their top tiers. Inner city blacks get nothing from them. " Well I happen to think you and Ted Wheeler are dead wrong now! Because some guys on a swingers site said they exist | |||

The remaining 1% are fascist or fascist sympathisers - boogaloo boyz, proud boyz etc. National Front in the UK. The Fascist 1% are the issue here. They are the ones who attempted a coup in the US. Lets not get distracted by equivalence crap There is a equivalent they are all anti government . Let's just call them ANTIGOV." Why not just call them what they are American Traitors or ANTIAMERICAN | |||

Having said that some people call themselves socialist when they are secretly Marxist ie communist in their ideology but they know that word is as toxic as the word fascist so they avoid it.

Trump was threatening further violence, that was why Twitter to the decision to remove him. He had incited violence to overturn the election results and threatening further violence.

Trump was threatening further violence, that was why Twitter to the decision to remove him. He had incited violence to overturn the election results and threatening further violence. Somehow I think you're still going persist with your false equivalency and I'm disinclined to alter my perceptions of you" It's going to be a struggle but I think I can live with that | |||

"Researching a subject and being knowledgeable rather than being sheeplike makes you far right now? Unbelievable Precisely why I despair of the left these days You despaired of Twitter preventing further incitement of violence, you have disingenuously defend right wing figures allied to violent extremist groups and see Antifa as the mother of all evils. Can you understand how such positions indicate an empathy for extreme right positions. I called out Twitter's double standards by allowing the leader of Iran to post violence inciting tweets about Israel. If that now makes me far right in your eyes then, like I say, I despair This is a good example where you've repeated things from the right wing Trump friendly media. It's a non-stoey, they removed his tweet, where they left lots of Trump's calls for violence. For years. This is why some of us made the assumptions we did. I wouldn't know what right wing trump friendly media is to be honest. But anyway, you made your assumptions about me and to be fair you dont strike me as someone that changes their mind so I'll leave it there" It's the type of media that pumps out stories based on half truths to demonise people who are against fascism, the type of media brought the type of stories and narrative that you like to post. IE all anti fascists are violent book burners etc etc. IE, Twitter were unfair to Trump because look at Iran. I'm all for changing my mind on any subject. I'm open minded to sensible ideas and reasoned argument. | |||

"I'd have thought they'd have been proud to be anti fascist instead of dressing in black and covering their faces while they attack innocent people and set fire to public buildings At least they haven't started burning books yet. Oh wait, they just did This is just getting silly now. So some people burned books or a book shop. And now everyone who is against fascism is a book burner? It's like saying that all you far right leaning people are exactly identical to Timothy McVeigh. Which would be equally silly and ridiculous. As silly and ridiculous as suggesting people who have educated themselves about Antifa are far right. Instead of desperately climbing on a band wagon to signal your virtue why dont you do some research. You're exactly the type of leftie that I describe in my previous post. Why is that everybody who doesn't agree with you has to be far right You are exactly the type of person that is embarrassing the left. And that's coming from an old school leftie! Not everyone who is opposed to fascism is a "leftie". We're from all over the political spectrum. I assume you're far right because of how easily you appear to be come angered at anyone who is involved in fighting racism, BLM, people who are against fascism etc. Of course I'm making an assumption based on the very little I know about you, which is just limited to your posts on here. So apologies if you're not. To be clear it has nothing to do with agreeing with me or not, as I'm not putting forward an opinion on anti fascist, aside from the fact that they're mostly against fascism. Forget it. You can carry on jumping on band wagons and claiming that anyone that doesn't agree with you is far right. And you're correct, you do know nothing about me and what I stand for and what I have stood for my entire life I'm done. Best of luck to you Okay. Have a good evening. Although did specifically point out that I don't think people who disagree are far right. See above. 'All you far right leaning people' Dont EVER make the suggestion that I'm far right leaning! How would you describe yourself? " I note you haven’t responded to this question. | |||
