I wonder if he is against violent fascists.
Undoubtedly he would emphatically say so - but obviously he is one.
Well the assaulter is a violent fascist, regardless of what he says he is against. Fascism and COmmunism are superficially different. Both commit sky high mass genocide, both deny freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, etc. And both are run by thugs that would kill you for getting too close or being a rich person who talked too negatively about the people in charge...
