The fact that Antifa has the support of the police, the government, and the courts should help you understand your world.

The Right will not be allowed to take power by peaceful means.

It is perhaps wiser to call these thugs communists than Nazis.

I understand the urge to do so. However, there are three good reasons to be more precise.

(1) They are, by their own definition, communists.

(2) When we decry their “Nazi-like violence” our voices either echo off the walls of an alt-right echo chamber, or if they get out into the wider public discourse, are then heard as just some more citizens against Nazis. Meanwhile the DNC-media propaganda machine are working to create the illusion that we are Nazis. So it is counter-productive when it does reach any new ears.

(3) The political overview requires that we be alert to communist tactics. A fascist state evolves in a much different way than a communist state. They may look similar and act similar, but different sectors of a civil society create them through their negligence. This is why it has always been the orthodox description of the two different totalitarian forms as extremes of left and right.

I agree that fascism had some socialist roots in the formative stages. However, fascism became a one-party state in Italy and then Germany through the acquiescence of centre-right portions of the political spectrum, and the fascists turned against their former socialist allies (Mussolini in particular had been a hard core leftist through the period 1902 to 1918 before he began to create his own political party in a nationalist mode).

I just want to say that if we call these communist street gangs Nazis, no good will come of that, we have to keep the focus on our anti-communist foundations. This will resonate with some who are anti-Trumpers too. The anti-communist movement pretty much morphed into the neo-con phenomenon then divided again when neo-con politics proved to be foolish in the modern context.

Anyway, I am sure my point of view will be swept into the ashes, but believe me, the understandable urge to call Nazis leftists and then call leftists Nazis is a dog chasing its own tail around Alex Jones’s back yard.

Patriots are steeled by the criticism of the timid. The timid are chaff.

It’s good that people declare.

True that. Those in “denial”...

As if they (who will not fight) will survive, if we (who will) are in any manner thwarted. Including suppressed from speech and assembly.

AS.IN.THIS.CASE.

When judicial officials like Jeff Sessions decided to protect them, while prosecuting those who defended themselves from leftist attacks. Unfortunately, that’s what happened. We needed a crackdown on these groups from the Department of Justice, and got absolutely nothing.

They say they will close down the NAZI’s i.e. us to them, and yet they use methods of which the brownshirts used to get Hitler power, thus they act like the NAZIS attacking peaceful people who are there to show support for law enforcement.

They are so consumed with hate and bigotry they do not even see what they really are.

The AntiFa types tried one of their protests in Auburn, AL earlier this year and promptly got busted for wearing masks in public and were forced to remove them. Auburn authorities played it straight down the middle between AntiFa and some white supremacist types, and the students mocked both sides.

Nowadays, it is according to whom is doing it, if it is legal. Or not. I would say that it started in the 1960’s and was in full bloom by 2009.

Yep. It's time for the right to begin establishing "rod and gun clubs" throughout the Red areas.

They were busted because they hit the police captain, not for what they were doing to We the People's.

It is coming to that. Or submit docilely and allow them to beat the hell out of you. These are the modern Red Guards or Hitler's Brown shirts.
