Charlie Kirk was a better anti-fascist than most of the left

Of course he was.

Most on the left are no longer amateur fascists. They have gone Pro.

[Frank Drebin]

The left is not anti-fascist. They are anti-freedom, anti-liberty, anti-American, and anti-christ.

It amazes and amuses me that Antifa is the picture perfect definition of Fascism. Despite their silly claim to be anti facists.

[mass55th]

That’s because Charlie knew who the real fascists were, not the dim-witted twits who have no sense of history.

[NorthMountain]

Charlie Kirk believed in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and in political liberty. THAT is the opposite of fascism.

“Anti-fascists”, so called, are communists ... their ideology is very little different from fascism. Their argument with fascism is limited to who gets to be in charge of the tyrannical kakistocracy.

"It amazes and amuses me that Antifa is the picture perfect definition of Fascism. Despite their silly claim to be anti facists."

They're projecting. It's one of the things the left does.

[Windcatcher]

They’re Marxist revolutionaries. With such people any tactic is on the table, including murder. Violent revolution is literally written into Das Kapital (the Communist manifesto by Karl Marx).

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

They are Anti-FA. Anti First Amendment.

Kirk was a ‘lionhearted friend of Israel’. He was also a passionate believer in the power of free, open debate to fix our problems. His ruthless murder doesn’t only steal a dad from two children. It also robs the world of someone who on the two key issues of our time – the future of the Jewish nation and the future of freedom – was able to see clearly. RIP, Charlie.

That’s because the left is fascist.

The very first reply I ever heard to who is anti fa was that they will not Allow our side of free speech (first amendment) this I saw on a live broadcast of the Berkeley riots in the mid 70s.

Not most. All of the left. Fascism is a leftist ideology.

Saul Alinsky "Rules for Radicals" His book has become the operating manual of the left DNC.

[Windcatcher]

I was just thinking of that. I’ve been saying until I’m blue in the face that radicals like Antifa are Marxist revolutionaries. That’s what they are, that’s what they believe in, and that’s the playbook they’re following.

[Celtic Conservative]

The people on the left who call themselves anti-fascist are doing so unintentionally ironically. By their behavior they out themselves as the fascists.

Yea, no kidding, of course they’re Marxist, they fought against the fascist in pre war Eastern Europe, hence their moniker Antifa.I don’t know why people on this forum have such a hard time with this. Two sides, both utter scumbags, you know, like Rinos & Dems, they both suck.

Reminds of a newsclip I saw going way back to the 1970s of some communists chanting and marching around in a circle yelling “fascists have no right to speak!” ad nauseam which of course is exactly what a fascist would say.
