Prefix-obsessed activists have commandeered education, advancing radical ideologies as fact on young minds.
Prefix-obsessed activists have commandeered education, advancing radical ideologies as fact on young minds. The National Education Association promotes anti-racist teaching to disrupt white supremacy. The designated prefix provides perfect PR: why wouldn’t one be anti-racist? Just like anti-racism ideologues, current anti-fascists love to hide behind their label. "There is an ANTI- prefix, therefore we are against Fascism just like our grandfathers in World War II who fought against Fascism!" is a common cry attempting to debase those who dare question the intentions of anti-fascists. North Carolina State Board of Education member James Ford, a radical anti-racist, once tweeted that being anti-anti-fascism is calling oneself a fascist, according to the “rules of grammar” (the very rules of grammar that are based in white supremacy).

The criminal or social deviant required treatment, not punishment. The instinct to punish the offender for his actions was itself a primitive instinct, Lombroso argued, which had no place in an enlightened civilized community.
Lombroso and his theories of criminal as predetermined biology broke from the classical theories of criminal behavior as free will. Therefore, the focus shifted from equal punishment of the crime to a focus on rehabilitation or prevention,

I think they don’t care if you believe as they do so long as they can punish you for not believing as they do.
Groupthink is a happy byproduct.
Everything Antifa believes is pure fascism.
antidisestablishmentarianism. define that!
Answer to $16000 Question.
The left controls education. You really think Fascism is going away? They are a hairs split end from total control. They have the legislative and executive branch with all of the alphabet agencies, major media, eduction at all levels, the major cities that matter, BLM, and ANTIFA. The only thing keeping out of total slavery is the 2nd amendment.
“Anti” actually means “against OR instead of”. If they case of “antifascism” it means they prefer communism instead of fascism.
It’s funny, well, not funny but typical.
Antifa were German communists fighting against german socialists .
The Italians were the fascists.
So it was just typical socialist name calling.
Fraudulent claims and accusations from start to finish, just like today’s socialists and communists.
So it was just typical socialist name calling.
Correction
So it was just typical communist name calling.
Not much difference between the two actually.
