The article below contains interviews with some Antifa
members. It is hard to believe that they can be this stupid. One of the main
objections to fascism is their animus towards free speech. This is what an
Antifa members says:
“We don’t think fascism deserves free speech,” Bonnie said.
“You give a platform to fascism, they will kill you. We want to shut that down
before we get killed.”
Of course, this corresponds exactly to what a fascist would
DO to the free speech rights of their opponents (although they would publicly
deny such an intent) and it is completely lost on this fool. Someone should
tell Antifa that the First Amendment exists to protect unpopular speech. You
cannot convict or accuse others of a crime in advance of the crime as well.
The two sides are not equivalent; Hitler, Mussolini were
fascists. Almost nothing compares to them. Antifa, in a country where the
police in Berkeley, for example, are NOT tools of the fascists, only get in the
way of justice and in fact, give actual fascists some cover when the fascists
then generalize about their opposition. The tactic that will be used by White
Nationalists, the KKK, neo-Nazis and others will be to paint all their
opponents as free speech haters such as Antifa. And it will work to a large
degree.
Thanks for nothing.
