See the Hamburg riots of 1932:
“Altona Bloody Sunday (German: Altonaer Blutsonntag) was the name given to a violent confrontation between the Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel (SS), the police, and Communist Party (KPD) supporters on 17 July 1932 in Altona (Now in Hamburg, but at the time a part of Schleswig-Holstein, which was part of Prussia). The riots left 18 people killed.
Following a policy of appeasement to the Nazi Party, Franz von Papen’s government on 28 June 1932 lifted a ban on the SA and SS which had been in place since April. This led to recurrent riots and open street fighting between Nazis and Communists.”

I heard a John Batchelor interview with David Pietrusza who wrote “1932: The Rise of Hitler and FDR”. There were a lot of calls for dictatorship on both sides of the Atlantic.
What did Mark Twain supposedly write? “ History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”
As an aside, I’d say that the tourist business, not only the UK, but throughout Europe and Scandinavia is now over. I feel sorry for all the small mom/pop bed and breakfasts over there. They’ll all be bankrupt soon.
I though the Nazi and the Islamists were kindred spirits, or is this an “internal ideology turf war”?
That wasn’t a real fight. It was a frat party brawl. No one was killed, injuries were minor, and only 9 were arrested.
Hell, the Klan and American Nazis killed at least 6 Communist Workers Party armed assailants in Greensboro, NC back in the late 1970’s. Now that was a serious fight.
And do you know who was an active supporter of the CWP, none other than famed physicist Dr. Michio Kaku. He’s doing tv adds now to supplement his professor’s salary.
Some commie, this guy. See: “www.keywiki.org”, search under his name, and you’ll learn the whole truth about him and the CWP.
In a choice between Nazis and Communists, I choose neither. Surely there must be a more reasonable selection.
