antifa isn't pro-democratic or anti-democratic or anything else. it also isn't a group. it doesn't get funding from russia or anywhere else. antifa is a method. the people you're referring to have come together under the idea that it's generally a good idea to gently caress up nazis, that's it. there are communists running with them and anarchists and otherwise fairly non-political people who just hate nazis. holy poo poo i thought y'all were pretending.

Rebuild the wall, imo.

quote:

"Es war das schwierigste Sachsengespräch, das wir je hatten", wird Michael Kretschmer am Ende dieses Abends sagen und damit die Stimmung grob umreißen. Denn bei dieser Aussprache erlebt man vieles. Nur keinen tiefen Moment der Versöhnung. Normalerweise ist das Sachsengespräch ein betont unkompliziertes Format. Keine Zäune, keine Polizisten, alle Bürger können einfach so vorbeikommen, um sich mit der sächsischen Regierung auszusprechen. Nah dran sein an den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern, das hat Ministerpräsident Kretschmer zu Beginn seiner Amtszeit versprochen, das will er auch mit dieser Reihe.

[...]

Man kann solche Nebensätze als Medienkritik verstehen. Die ist eines der Leitthemen an diesem Abend. Auch rund um Ministerpräsident Kretschmer empören sich immer wieder Bürger über Journalisten. Der Tenor: Man fühle sich und die Stadt falsch dargestellt in diesen Tagen. "Meine Schwester hat mich sogar aus London angerufen und gefragt, ob wirklich faschistische Horden durch Chemnitz gezogen sind", erzählt ein älterer Mann. "Aber so war das doch gar nicht." Eine Frau beklagt, dass sie sich als "Nazi" abgestempelt fühle. "Ich stand da doch mittendrin, das waren ganz normale Leute, Ärzte, Kindergärtner und so weiter. Ich hatte zu keiner Zeit Angst um mein Leben." Ein anderer Mann in der Runde überlegt: "Bei den Medien, da müsste mal der Staat eingreifen. Was können wir tun, damit diese tendenziöse Berichterstattung aufhört?" Michael Kretschmer reagiert nicht auf solche Ausfälle. Er sagt nur: "Wenn man schreibt: 'Hetzte durch die Stadt' oder 'Pogrom', dann trifft es das nicht."

[...]

Wie viele Hitlergrüße es bei den Aufmärschen am vergangenen Montag gegeben hat, darüber entspinnen sich wiederum langwierige Diskussionen unter den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern. Ergebnis: Das seien doch Ausnahmen gewesen. Von einem geballten Auftreten von Neonazis will hier keiner etwas wissen. "Sie reden wieder nur gegen die Rechtsextremen, gegen die Linksextremen nicht", ruft ein Mann. "Die sogenannte Antifa. Das sind Leute, die stinken. Von Wasser werden die nur nass, wenn es regnet."

If you are looking for street action against nazis there are antifa groups that are more focused on direct action and less on ideology. Go to some demos and try to find people from your town and make some contacts to see what they are like. There are also anti-fascist football ultras which might be a good bet depending on where you are.
There's a demo übernächste Woche, I'ma take a look at that.

cebrail posted:

Mostly I just don't understand what a non-radical political street-fighting group is supposed to be. Social Democrats and conservatives usually like the state quite a bit and they delegate the beating up people to the police.
I mean I also throughly enjoy the state and I don't really want to punch nazis - I'd vastly prefer it if there was some sort of professional organization to do it, maybe called riot police or something, but that's not really happening to the extent I'd like.

If you are perfectly happy with the system and want to work within it, then you can't punch a Nazi. Because that's illegal under the current system.

However, I posit it's morally perfectly okay to want to punch a Nazi, but that means "bending" the rules (more like completely ignoring them). Again, I'm not judging you for that at all, but you gotta make a decision here. There's no Democratic nazi-punching Verein because Democracy says the Gewaltmonopol is with the state alone. Either you accept some anti-"Democratic" (as we currently understand it) tendencies with your Nazi-punching peers, or you can't punch a Nazi.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Even if you were right and Antifa as a method was as unpolitical as you say, "it's generally a good idea to gently caress up nazis" is not a method that is compatible with social democratic or conservative ideas of the Rechtsstaat. The method of personally loving up Nazis inherently contradicts the Gewaltmonopol of the state. And thus, you won't find a lot of social democrats or conservatives in Antifa-related groups. Most Antifa groups (yes, they are mostly organized groups) are explicitly communist or anarchist. Or "undogmatisch linksradikal" or whatever.

Just because the cesspool that is American political culture has groups labeling themselves "Antifa" does not mean that you can draw conclusions about the Antifa in Germany from those.

My problem with communist nazi punchers isn't that they punch nazis illegally, it's that they're communists. Communist views on people like me range from grumbling about bourgeois nationalisms to putting people in camps. Some of my ancestors got reinterred from their graveyard into some loving Mülldeponie somewhere to foster a class identity based on objective facts, as some goon put it. I'd rather not support people who identify with those guys in any way, even if they won't come into power here.

I'd be down for some sort of "multinational socialism" any day, but the moment someone says opposing nationalism is a top priority I nope the gently caress out.

there are anarchist groups who really don't like authoritarian communists like you describe them, just hang out with those

edit : Also you can very much be anti nationalistic without wanting to kill minorities who have a a diferent conenction to nationalism because in that specific case their nationalism is anti imperialist, but there are others here who can explain that better than me

I think they are conflating the policies of the nominally communist country of their ancestors re: minorities with communism itself (see: ethnic/religious minorities in the PRC and the former Soviet Union).

You talking about "Communists" unironically means you are probably American and equating the term with 30s era Stalinism. Antifa is "linksextremistisch", of which tankies are only a small subsection. There a lots of democratic and anti-authoritarian streaks in there too. Hell, social democracy (real SD, not SPD) is probably included by centrists under that category too again)
