I don’t see any key insights. To me, Antifa and Nazi are equivalent. Both attract violent losers who want an excuse to engage in mayhem. Whether that violence is justified by the “Nazi threat” the victims might pose if there were enough to matter, or it is justified by the alleged Jewish threat to racial purity that real Nazis imagined 75 years ago (the last time when there were enough Nazi followers to matter) is not important.

What matters to both groups of thugs is having an excuse to beat weaker people up, preferably many on one and armed against unarmed, while feeling virtuous about being a thug. Antifa Socialism is precisely as dangerous as National Socialism, because they both center on unprovoked and unjustified violence and express that hostility in almost an identical manner.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

I agree with the violent losers part, but I disagree with the equivalence. The 'Nazis' will never attract more than a fraction of one percent of these misfits. Communisms/Antifas - with their adulation by the Media and Educrats - will attract a much larger pool.

I agreed with a section in Pat Buchanon's book - 'the Unnecessary War' - where two historians during the time prior to the United States entry into WWII noted that Communism was much more dangerous to the United States than Nazism. At that time there were American First people who were demonstrating that the United States should stay out of this European conflict - and whenever 'American Bund', or 'Silver Shirt', people would try to join in - the American Firsters would quickly toss them out. Nazism was never going to attract more than a fraction of a percent of the people in the United States. Communism, on the other hand, could be dressed up (it sounds nice in theory - you just have to ignore human nature and the 100 years of disasters that have followed societies that have tried to implement it in practice) to appeal to a lot of useful idiots.
I see that going on today - the Democrat Party is basically preaching the Communist line (reportedly the CPUSA's website in 2012 said that they weren't running a Presidential candidate that year, and they just recommended that their followers vote for the Democrat candidate). The Media makes a big deal about these few dozen Nazis, and use them as a reason to tolerate the much larger AntiFa crew.
