The irony of Fascists pretending they aren't.
The Fascists were Socialists. ANTIFA is Communist, just like the flag says.
Communists (Stalin) and Socialists (Marx) have always fought each other for supremacy and they are still doing it today.
My interpretation of their thinking - Republicans are Socialists and Democrats are Communists, thus their 'fighting Fascism' mantra.
JMO, YMMV

Hey Phillman, good morning!

Marx used the words Socialism and Communism interchangeably. Lenin said that the best way to defeat the opposition is to be the opposition.

The 1910 Websters College Dictionary defined fascism as (from memory): “A political system that espouses government control of business and industry, government control of media and the press, government control of education, and forceble suppression of dissent.”

Sometime in the 1930s they updated “especially from the right.” (A Stalinist attempt to distingish themselves form Nazism.)

Both sides use the same violent tactics and have pretty much the same objectives. They urge distinctions with very little difference. (If you were German you might have some genetic privilege and the State would rent you back to yourself. The Soviets owned you outright.)

The left likes to misidentify conservatives as Fascists—a lie that should always be challenged. (Government control of Business and industry? Please!)
