French left wing antifascist militant Clement Meric (age 19) was attacked and killed in Paris yesterday by members of the far right (not sure which group yet), who had Nazi tattoos and apparently a Front National t-shirt.

There's a march in his honor and against fascist violence in Paris this evening. The Left Party, the French Communist Party and the Young Socialists are calling for the dissolution of these fascist movements.

I know this will be probably an upopular feeling right now but if you go around shouting about how you want to kill all the facists, then go and bash them, are you honestly expecting some other response in reply? All the reports seem to be saying it wasn't 6 people jumping him, it was 2 groups of people having a grand old barney.

There is no "reply". Fascist ideology is literally based on political violence, it doesn't matter if you've never even said a bad word about the fash, you're still liable to get beaten up if you're part of a target group. Thus talking as if somebody had it coming because they were antifa is pretty absurd. Sure, anti-fascist activism might make you a target sooner, but being a leftist will just make you a target later anyway.

Unpopular, ignorant and stupid, yes your opinions are just that not only for the reasons Cerebral Bore mentioned but also: The skinheads then left the shop and waited for the group outside with other people, and the victim "was hit by one of the skinheads who wore a knuckleduster and fell on the pavement, hitting a bollard". The skinheads left the scene to "fetch reinforcements" and ambushed the teenager, hitting him with brass knuckle dusters and knocking him to the ground. Eyewitness reports and police sources have indicated that Méric had gone out clothes shopping and that the far-right activists entered the same shop as him on rue Caumartin, there was an angry exchange of words and insults and after they all left the store, Méric was confronted by the extremist group who had brought reinforcements and were armed with brass knuckles. According to one witness “I was out doing some shopping, when I found myself face to face with the attackers. I saw the young man falling, and his head hitting a bollard. There was blood coming out of his ears and nose, and then he went into convulsions. He had a huge lump at the back of his head, and his face was covered in blood.” your assessment is full of poo poo.

Your response to 'he was ambushed in a pre-meditated assault' is 'yeah but he was asking for it by being part of a group which includes balaclava wearers and maybe he should have offered them a biscuit while they were beating him to death'. Really?

edit: Also this comes during a major rise in homophobic violence in France, most of it from the far right. I guess the only acceptable response from LGBT people is 'well we'd prefer not to be murdered in the street but on the other hand those fascists think we're subhuman scum and would quite like to exterminate us. At the end of the day both opinions are equally valid and hopefully we can find some common ground. :) '

Clement Meric was described by his classmates, teachers and comrades as a pretty shy person who didn't seek violence but was still engaged in many causes, so he's not exactly the scary far-left thug painted by the media.

gently caress off.

The EDL had 6 people at the york "demo", and were met with 100 counter protesters, of course they gave in.

In the last few weeks, dozens of other mosques have suffered attacks, including one being burnt to the ground, in a nearby mosque to me an EDL splitter group member walked in with a machete and firebomb. Hundreds of violent attacks on muslims and people assumed to be muslim because of the colour of their skin.

The EDL literally march around chanting "we hate pakis more than you". Or stand at a demo, and wildly cheer a guy on the PA saying "send the black cunts home! just send the black cunts home". Or attack an asian owned restaurant while kids scream in terror inside. this is a partial, 34 page list of EDL criminals and many are for racially motivated serious crimes.

I could go on in this vein for literally pages.

These are not rational people, the rational people left in the first few months when they realised the EDL was riddled with outright, 14W/88 swastika tattooed nazis who were far more interested in beating up "pakis" than with extremists who happened to be muslim.

You smash them in the streets and expose them for what they are, you don't make them a loving cup of tea.

As long as you don't complain when you get burned.

"uccidere un fascista non e' reato" (killing a fascist is not a crime) is a slogan that gave Italy more than 2000 killed during the Led Years and it served nothing as fascists are still there and in greater numbers now actually.

Your juvenile "bash the fash" attitude is comical and typical of a society reject with nothing more than violence to push an agenda.

And the best thing is that then you call THEM fascist. At least they admit they are, you just are without admitting it.

Are you suggesting peaceful resistance/activism? Like Ghandi, or Nelson Mandela perhaps? Or maybe the sort of reasoned, rational discussions held with Mosley's fascists? You know, all those really successful peaceful dialogues with oppressive/dictatorial/fascist ideologues?

I find I never have much say in what happens at anti-fascist protests anyway. The SWP show up, never let anyone else speak, run to the front and cover everything with their posters and take over the whole show from start to finish. We had a wee SWP guy who borrowed a megaphone off a pro-Palestine group (and never shared it :( ) who'd start his own chants or sing a song over whatever everyone else was already saying or chanting. Including "Tupac was a Muslim" (he wasn't) on seeing an SDL kid wearing a Tupac T-shirt. Presumably the kid didn't have any actual black friends to invite along to show he wasn't a racist, honest guv. We saw a few known Combat 18 members there with him and a few Nazi salutes, maybe he was really just an Islamophobe and was actually surprised his movement was racist.

Still, they help make up the numbers and they'll probably grow out of it and join a decent left-wing cause when they see what their party gets up to.

They protected a rapist from the police and found him innocent in their own kangaroo court where none of the victims was present. As far as I'm concerned, if you deliberately make life more dangerous and difficult for >50% of the population, you have no place in promoting equality.

Mock the organization to death.

No, it won't help the actively punching people, but it'll make their marches stupider. Make the public demonstrations embarassing instead of uplifting combat against the untermenschen, and it should cool their ardor further.
