Did I just read antifa are fascist.... because antifa stand for anti fascism. I seen some utter stupid post's before but my god that takes the biscuit

Like so many I am gutted to hear of his passing. The man was in eyes a true hero. Fought to save the world from far right wing fascism to at the age of 99 walking around his garden and raising money for the NHS.

How many lives has he saved with his actions .

I hope they build a statue in his honour

Not getting political, but just to correct you.. Hitler's party was the National German Socialist Workers party, not really far right more far left.

Hitler was no socialist, in fact he loathed communism.

In the early days before power, Hitler’s fledgling party used to be involved in terrific street fights with the communists and socialists. This is what led to for formation of the SA, the brown shirts and Ernst Rohm.

The existence of the Nazi party owed itself to nationalism, where as socialism is largely an economic doctrine.

The warped nonsensical argument goes that because antifa (who by the way are not an organisation) seek to shut down far right rallies and no platform racist speakers, they are denying free speech and are therefore fascist.
What this argument always ignores is that hate speech is not free speech.
What a lot of people don't like about antifa is their anti-capitalist leanings. But if they are serious about combating discriminatory practices then of course they're going to be at odds with neoliberal economics driven by Nietzschean principles that all men are not equal ("EQUALITY of all men is the biggest lie ever told.") and that promotes the exploitation of poorer peoples in less developed countries and their resources in pursuit of raw profit. No world in which you can buy a t shirt for £2 is operating without some pretty savage exploitation
