You could answer a peaceful assembly with a peaceful protest instead of being violent and kept at bay by law enforcement officers? Just throwing that one out there.

Not when it opposes Islam, Muslims, Immigrants and promotes White heritage and nationalism. Then fascism is indeed a beautiful ideology that I fully support.

If you oppose anti-fascism by saying that it's fascist, you are saying that fascism is bad, which makes you an anti-fascist.

If hypothetically there were a social issue you supported but only had pretty minor roots would you be okay with the general public showing up and throwing things at them/punching them in the face because they didn't want the movement getting any traction?

As a general rule, I think free speech is critical and violence should be avoided at all costs.

However, when a movement is predicated on eradicating minorities, celebrates Hitler, and literally can only grow by establishing a mythos through public displays of power, then I think there's a strong argument for kicking its legs from under it when it makes the attempt.

We do have Shariah in the Muslim controlled areas. We have about 100 Shariah law courts in Muslim controlled areas which are run by the Islamic Sharia Council.

As a true progressive i believe that social ills a, b, and c should not be looked at as crimes of individuals but instead trends that reflect socioeconomic and institutional factors among the offenders. Their victims, while tragic, should not be used to justify hate or further harm.

For social issues x, y, and z though, I will ignore such factors, chalk everything up to personal responsibility, dehumanize the offenders, and endorse attacks upon these monsters.

You cant have it both ways really, if you condone this kind of behavior now it's the same thing as condoning it over issues society hasn't quite progressed enough on. It's not like bad people do bad things cause they get off on being evil, it's because they think they're justified in their behavior due to how they view the people they're doing it to.

Because i don't think we should violently attack people peacefully assembling based on disagreements with their views? I mean history has shown the majority is never on the wrong side of things amiright.

I don't condone violence against fascists, but I do think blockading their displays of power is justified and that will often lead to violence. They might not believe themselves to be 'evil', but they also don't believe that what Hitler did was evil. Communities have a right to reject the ideology out of hand and prevent its proponents from attempting to build a following within it.

I guess my point is if you look back historically to any social change there was a period where what we now see as the right side was the minority and the majority who opposed them thought they were in the moral right. They justified their atrocities etc by dehumanizing their victims and with the support of being the majority could get away with this behavior.

Im not saying i think neo nazis are going to be heralded as civil rights figures 50 years from now but i do think when new important cultural issues are in their early stages we should have an environment where even those with views the majority oppose can nonviolently demonstrate and not be met with violence as a response. I do not personally trust society to ethically handle things by mob rule and i don't know how anyone who has taken a history class could.
