They see themselves as anti-fascist in the same way that communists see themselves as anti-fascist...’cause like, anti-fa are communists.
How is this any different than Hitler’s Sturmabteilung brown shirts? The thing that galls me the most is that these punks refer to themselves as “antifascists”. Do they not have any grounding in history at all?
They see it as completely different. Hitler liked white people, they hate white people. Hitler thought black people were inferior, they think black people are victims.
They believe their ideas should be implemented with force, and since they think their ideas are correct, so force is completely acceptable.
Other people’s ideas are wrong, so it is acceptable to use force to stop their speech.
It is a simple intolerant tribal approach to life. Morality is determined by whether you are for me or against me, not by what you do.

It’s not different except when the communists tried to seize power in the so-called Spartacist uprising in 1919 they got their @sses handed to them. They morphed from Leninists to full blown Stalinists sometime after that. These punks are likely well aware of their historical obfuscations - it’s the MSM and the general public who are in abject ignorance of history.

They were beating the shit out of the antifa of the time...communists. Same as today. Too bad they went off the rails with the jews and WW2.
