A revolution against British tyranny. A fight for physical and intellectual freedom. A fight for independence.Who are you? The thought police?
What do you call a person who forces others to think like he/she does?
Fascist!
Billo... what do you call people who silence others with whom they disagree through threats of violence?
FASCISTS!
It seems incredible to me that you don't seem to think this is wrong. I don't like Ann Coulter, she's a kook, but she has a right to speak. And when you have to threaten someone with violence to silence them from expressing views you don't like, that is the very core foundation of fascism.
But hey, Billo's alright with it.
That's not what "fascist" means.
Fascism is a political ideology based around militant nationalism and authoritarian control vested in a single charasmatic figurehead.
I think ANTIFA are a bunch of misguided clowns, but their ideology is far from fascism.
Then what was Kristallnacht then? The SA and Nazi officials basically acting on their own to silence Jews with certain opinions. Antifa acts a collective to silence people with certain political opinions, without a general, physical figurehead. So, I beg to differ. You don't need a literal figurehead to engage in fascism. All you need is a cause, in this case, being "anti-fascist".
What was the American Revolution?
Everything that Antifa's actions are not. They are acting as the oppressive force, not the liberating one.
Surely you aren't comparing Antifa to the revolutionaries?
The colonists didn't oppress the British government?
Goddam that's funny!
