Being anti fascist should be the default position for every normal person.

The paradox of tolerance

 

 

Why insult people who are against nazi's though, are you a nazi supporter?

 

I know a lot of people who can't stand the Antifa mob, the problem in this country is that the default action of any extreme leftist is to label any right leaning person a Nazi, many of these people are supposed to be educated and middle class but seem to be more brainwashed, hateful and intolerant as any so called right winger I know !

Correct

No, extremes are inevitable: there is no point opposing their existence we need them to mark the end points of the scale.

We just need to accept that they exist, monitor them and ensure they don't flourish.

Opposing fascism isn't an extreme position. People who claim it is tend to be fascists.

What's oo mean. In Germany neo navies aren't even allowed to show swazikas or shout at rallies. The snowflakes can shout though. Which is a strange dichotomy. Who are the fascist?

 

They're the ones who idolise Hitler and bang on about white power.

That depends upon how you oppose it: if you seek them out for a lynchin', then that would be an extreme position.

No, those are Nazis. Possibly fascists as well...

Hmmm . . . I would've thought Ze Germanese would have a very good idea of who the fascists really are, given the countries, how can I say, colourful history.

 

It can't be much of a day out for the Neo Nazis, if they can't express their hatred as loudly and as vulgar as possible.

Fascism is just in the physical mind. It is a fantasy dream believe system.

Being anti-fascist isn't an extreme position, it's should be the basic default normal position.

Well it would be if we agreed on the definition. Are we happy with it being "a regime that suppresses all criticism"?

We all know well how to define it, it's those that have fascistic tendencies that try to muddy the water

Fascism is only a thought you believe in. You can stop/start thinking it, switch it on or off.

No, we wouldn't because it's far too narrow and simplistic.

No, I don't think so. Mostly it is just misunderstandings.

 

How do you define it?
