The Nazi’s stated underlying ideology is worse in comparison to antifa’s publicly stated underlying ideology. Yes, we can agree on that. But what is antifa’s end goal? If it is a form of left wing radicalism like communism it’s just as bad as fascism. Anyways, political violence in a nation like the USA is unnecessary and counterproductive.
I admit I expressed myself poorly, but I think you know what I meant. You did get to nitpick something, however, and for you that’s like having multiple orgasms.
Our end goal is to prevent fascism from taking hold in this country.
THey make that more likely if it comes down to who has the best street thugs. Last time lefties duked it out in the streets with gangs of fascists it went badly for them.
Okay, now it’s time to put antifa in the same class as racists
Why must you tie them to racists? Can’t you oppose them on their own merits?
The streets should be privately owned and owners should be free to expel anyone they want. Problem solved. Both sides are the Mob. Remember the Mob?
Not tie them to racists, just note that their level of violence is similar, and if they keep this up will soon easily outpace the racists.
The groups we see fighting are tips of the icebergs. The antifa are the tip of liberal/progressive America, and the white supremacists are the tip of conservative/Republican America. They are all the Mob, aka the democratic electorate.
As opposed to the oppression of entrepreneurs and capitalists through taxation and other state actions. There is nothing institutional or organized about the IRS.
Well done, you’ve succeeded and can go home now. America is far too corporatist for fascism to take hold.

They haven’t rammed their cars into a crowd yet. Nor have they brought guns yet.
They have brought guns.
Corporatism is inherently internationalist and anti-government, two things that are the polar opposite of fascism. Which is not to say that it’s desirable, any more than fascism is.
Cite???
And also, how many - what percentage of them? Were they arrested? (I hope so) or did they get to go home (like the Nazis)?

They are starting to scare other leftist allies. Lets hope the righties don’t start adopting some of antifas tactics…like wearing masks and using weapons.
Thanks for the link/cite.
“…By the end of the day, 13 people had been arrested, one on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and three on battery charges…”
They got arrested. GOOD.
Is that an ironic, KKK joke?
The pictures have been posted on several threads several times. And no, just like the right-wingers, they have not been arrested for open carry.
In not aware of any KKKers attending rallies, wearing masks and looking for a beat down. Should they start, lock em up. The larger point is that violence has no point in politics.
