Anyone see the irony in that?

Lol why yes. Everyone except......those that hate.

We hated the Nazi's during WWII. And don't you guys hate Antifa? What's ironic is that they are against fascism and you hate them and call them fascists. Now that's ironic indeed...

They are not against fascism,,They are thugs that like to start fights and incite violence..Thats epitomy of fascism!!!

Antifa is a fascist organization and their tactics are right out of the NAZI playbook. Learn some history, Pete.

debeda

I know!! They are like "I'm gonna go rob banks to protest bank robbery". Silly indoctrinated children for the most part

woodguru

And the right rabidly hated and still hates Obama and Hillary

PeterS

We started fights and incited violence with the Nazi's too. And no, that not the epitome of fascism. Fascism is an ideology not simply an action. You can hate fascism for the evil that it is and not be a fascist but to sit there and knuckle under to fascism is the worst thing that a person can do.

Agree... learn some history instead of repeating leftist rhetoric.

The right hates anything that isn't too the right. BTW, one of the traits of Fascism is to desire totalitarianism and one party rule. They continually call the left fascist without understanding that they are the definition of fascism.

1. Fascism thrives in militaristic societies. World War I caused a tremendous militarization of a number of countries. Nations like Italy and Germany saw the need to be able to quickly mobilize millions of people to fight wars and provide economic support.

2. Fascists reject liberal democracy, which is basically a representative kind of government where elections are free and competitive, powers between different government branches are separated, and people have more or less equal rights, freedoms and protections under the law.

3. Fascists, on the other hand, prefer totalitarian one-party rule, led by a strong leader (your favorite dictator). This allows the fascist country to have unparalleled national unity of purpose, a very ordered society, generally ready for armed conflict. Such a society is also poised to respond quickly to economic measures, especially in time of difficulties. A fascist country will likely isolate itself, blaming the international economic order for its troubles.

4. Fascist states all perpetuate a rebirth myth (Make American Great Again) or with Germany it was Dutschland über alles--which translates to Germany over all.

5. Fascists believe in rampant Nationalism and an uncontrolled desire to be number one.

6. Fascist dismiss minorities as inferior an not worthy of having the same rights as themselves.

I could go on but I think you get the point. When you look at the behavior of today's conservatives they clearly have fascist traits.

No, the irony is that you expect anyone to be stupid enough to think Nazis and Antifa are against Fascism.

Antifa's actions are those of a fascist group i.e.; suppression of rights (free speech), control by violence, control of others. Look up fascist...antifa fits to a tee. They are against what they CALL a fascist, not what a fascist really is. Communism, socialism, fascism...all the isms are based on the same principle, the taking away of rights. It's all for the greater good...THAT'S fascism. We don't want to hear your speech...THAT'S fascism. If you don't conform, we'll attack you...THAT's fascism. Removal of the current government...THAT'S fascism. The ironic part is that YOUR group calls conservatives fascist, while they are the ones committing the fascist acts.

Leftism requires totalitarianism to survive.

You can't get people to voluntarily turn their country into a shithole. They have to be first lied to and then trapped.

PeterS

So you are saying that anti-fascism is fascism?

This is fascism: they are Nationalists, uber patriots, militarists, authoritarian, anti-immigration, reject liberal democracy, identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause (see Muslims and illegal immigrants if you can't figure that out), rampant sexism, obsession with national security, believe that religion and government should be intertwined, believe that corporate power should be protected, and believe that unions and originated labor should be suppressed?

That's fascism--are you saying that's what Antifa represents? If so, you are an idiot. And by the way, what you are saying is that America was fascist when they attacked Europe and defeated the Nazis. You don't know what you are talking about.

I know this is above your IQ but just because some one calls them selves something doesn't make it so. A person 5'2" can say he's 6 ft. doesnt make it so. ANTIFA is the definition of fascism if you see what they say they stand for and what they do. Dumb liberals, always it's about what someone says not what they do.
