Yeah if you're OK with the police arresting a thief (a use of violence against a person displaying a trivial form of antisocial behavior) and not OK with a dude punching a fascist (a comparatively weaker use of violence against a much more serious form of antisocial behavior), you've got hosed up priorities, lad.

What's your opinion on vigilantism in general? If your standards are "if the police can do it, then the average citizen can do it", than the violence you're OK with the average person using goes quite a bit beyond punching Nazis.

I'll admit I'm genuinely conflicted by this. I'm happy the dude got punched in the face, and I 100% think he deserved it, but like any black bloc tactic, things get way murkier and uglier when you get beyond the obvious black and white cases. What if, instead of Richard Spencer, it was some random person who identifies as Alt-Right, is obviously racist, but isn't calling for or behind genocide in particular? Alt-right is a big umbrella, and there's probably people in it who range from just "hating SJWs" to "kill all the jews / blacks".

Normalization of this sort of stuff always leads to more questionable usage of the tactic. Black Bloc vandalism against obvious targets like corporate sponsors or state property turns into random breaking of windows. When you add 100%, undeniably violent actions into the mix, it seems like something that is dangerous to be quite so gleeful about.

If our institutions have failed us to the point that crypto-Nazis with sympathies toward real actual Nazis have attained the highest positions of power in our country, then our institutions are nearly worthless and that includes the police. It would be one thing if we lived in a country where advocating global black genocide would get you arrested for hate speech or inciting violence, but we don't live in that country. Not yet, anyway. So if the police are blind to it, and if the Nazis are using that blind spot to creep into power, then vigilantism against them is all we have left.

I completely get what you're getting at, but if our starting point is that institutions are worthless, isn't suckerpunching random Nazis that don't directly hold power sort of a weak response? If you legitimately believe that the police / goverment institutions are illegitimate, what is punching some (admittedly evil) random dude 2 degrees removed from actual power going to accomplish? Has the sucker punch shut Richard Spencer up? Has it had a cooling effect on the alt-right, or has it just emboldened them?

I don't want to come off as completely against this, I'm genuinely conflicted by it. In some cases, like in Greece where there was documented cases of fascists being violent towards minorities, I have pretty much zero problems with punching fascists. And in isolation, yeah, I'm glad Richard Spencer got punched. But if the message is "punch any Nazi you see", coupled with "anyone who defines themselves with the alt-right in any way is a Nazi", it seems like a dangerous combination.

quote:

And as I pointed out earlier, it is absolutely true that reestablishing those norms, after you've bashed the fash back into the shadows, is a difficult thing and that's a very serious problem. It's important to bear in mind that Nazis are going to tear down those norms anyway and they don't even intend to build them back up once they've won. This is why you're not supposed to tolerate Nazis even in times of peace and stability, but too late for that, so welp :shrug:

I think the other thing I'm having trouble with is the feeling that this is a temporary state. White supremacists always exist. There's no end state where every white supremacist has been punched and the world can return to normal. Don't get me wrong - things can get worse and they have got worse, but what does it mean to say they're in the shadows? Stormfront has been a thing for pretty much forever.

Jesus loving christ this isn't difficult.

Again, I don't have a lot of problems with punching Richard Spencer, who is obviously, unequivocally, 100% a nazi in the face.

If your point is, it's OK to punch people who have literally themselves endorsed the genocide of a race, then sure.

My point is that the absolute lack of reflection on when this *is* appropriate is going to lead to a lot of people being defined as "nazis" and punched for tenuous reasons.

And yeah, deciding when violence and direct action is an appropriate measure in protest is difficult, and should be. Do you think it's better that people don't give thought and reflection to their actions and just punch whoever they think might be a nazi?

You need to think about what exactly constitutes a Nazi. We're all firmly on the side of Richard Spencer belonging in the "actual Nazi" category, but even by your standards:

- He doesn't call himself a Nazi.
- He hasn't directly advocated for literal genocide (he has hosted an article on his site authored by someone else that calls for literal genocide)

Do I think he's a nazi? Absolutely. Do I think he, in particular, needed to be punched? Without question. But even in his case, the most nazi-ish nazi in America it's not *absolutely* black and white. And I think a lot of people are approaching this incident and nazi punching in general from "Nazi punching is good, if I think someone is a Nazi I can punch them", and that's going to result in a lot of supposed "nazis" getting punched or worse.

As someone who used to be involved in some Antifa poo poo, I feel like I have some authority here.

Thanks, this is super helpful. I have zero experience with antifa stuff, so having an actual perspective rather than yuk yuk's nazi punching comedy special that the rest of the thread apparently is is awesome.

quote:

Generally speaking, Nazis and Antifa seek each other out to beat each other up as a form of catharsis. It's a lot of angry teenage poo poo. I'm unusual in that I'm "Old Money became no money (during the Great Depression)" in terms of my background. Most on both sides were more "Raisin in the Sun" types, where their families had dreams of social mobility that didn't work out. The parents displaced this frustration onto their kids.* And the kids found out that punching their feelings was good therapy :)

To attempt to steer things in a more useful direction, I'd like to know more about Antifa folks in general. Did they tend to be active outside of the punching, or is it more people looking for a fight and finding an excuse for one. Is it all just catharsis in your opinion, is there an aim / goal to the fighting?

I know in Greece a lot of the Golden Dawn / antifa stuff was instigated by Golden Dawn beating on / harassing minorities. In this case, it feels like there's less of a link to defending against actual violence, just perceived violence. Do people think about that kinda stuff?

I know this is a lot of questions. Basically I'm just saying I want to understand the viewpoint of these folks more, so anything you want to share would be great.

quote:

The mythology of "maybe someone will be confused with someone else when everyone involved can totally tell each other apart but they all look the same to me because I'm not involved" is the laziest form of concern trolling. Like, be better. Like, how many people do you think sneak into churches of the wrong denomination to "defile" them by violating their rules on eating some bread? Is that a credible threat?

I think the lens I was using comes from what I know, which is general black bloc stuff without antifa or actual violence (as opposed to property damage) specifically. With black bloc tactics, the pattern I've seen time and time again has been what was justified and reasoned approaches to when more direct action was necessary used as a jumping board for idiots who just want to smash anything without thought of consequence or justification. And I do genuinely feel that there's a feeling on the left that any tactic in a protest is immune to criticism (until after the fact, when it was obviously provocateurs who were doing the worst things)

Sounds like the whole escalation aspect isn't really a thing in this case.

America turning MLK's message into "just suffer abuse because it's impolite to do otherwise; eventually your oppressor will be magnanimous and stop" was pure evil genius. Especially since he was shot.

Can you please try to argue against the arguments being made in this thread, rather than ridiculous strawmen of people just sitting idly by? Outside of one post that was quoting GBS, not a single person has said anyone should "just suffer abuse" or had an issue with non-violent protest.

I think what's more ridiculous is quoting someone who firmly stood for non-violent protest and using them to justify violence.

If you think this is some simple, black and white issue, you haven't been paying attention in this thread. The line where violence is acceptable has been defined as anything from "Actually uses the word 'nazi' and literally advocates for genocide" to "voted Republican". Acceptable levels of violence have ranged from "a sucker punch with no lasting injury" to "i don't really care if we accidentally kill people".

If you think this is straightforward, and celebrating and encouraging violence in an unorganized fashion isn't dangerous, you're not really thinking about what people are saying. It's OK to think it's a good thing that Richard Spencer was punched without needing to recklessly and gleefully encourage everyone to punch everyone else they think might be a Nazi.

Out of curiousity, does anyone have any good examples of violent protest that was successful in achieving it's aims? There's all kinds of examples of successful non-violent protest (MLK, Ghandi, 1989 Berlin protests). I'll accept actual evidence (rather than speculation) that a violent element or associated movement was actually responsible for the overall movement being successful.

The only example of primarily violent protest that's springing to mind is the IRA, which wasn't exactly the world's most successful movement.

A couple of things I'm not asking for (since it isn't what we're talking about):

- Antifa actions that are in direct defence of violence against other groups (Antifa against Golden Dawn in Greece would fall into this)
- Actual coups or overthrow of governments

I'm being somewhat argumentative here, but I'm more than happy to be proven wrong - this isn't some attempt at a gotcha question, I honestly would like to know.

in all of these cases, the non-violent protesters succeeded because there was a credible threat of widespread violence being the alternative. violence happened in all of these cases, and without it the movements very likely would not have succeeded.

in the civil rights movement, you had the black panthers and allied groups exerting pressure. in india, you had terrorist groups like the samiti or the hindustan socialist republicans bombing and killing british soldiers, then barely being contained by ghandi. as soon as he was in jail, the terrorism continued. in germany, you had the famous monday demonstrations turning into riots, with police cars being burned and police and protesters clashing in the streets.

But even if we discount that for the sake of assumption it's pretty clear that if your entire resistance movement somehow manages to stay perfectly non-violent no matter what, then you're basically banking on the oppressor to suddenly realize that what they are doing is wrong, and the list of examples where that has happened is even shorter than the list of successful cases of violent resistance.

There are many, many ways to protest a government without violence. See: most successful protests in the 20th century.

And the point of protest generally isn't for Donald Trump to look out his window and say "man, that sign really made my think about my attitude towards minorities and women", it's to raise awareness of issues among the general public and sway public opinion to your side.

If your opinion is that the point of protests is to actually physically overthrow the oppressors, good luck with that.

i mean, what kind of evidence are you looking for? it's pretty hard to prove a counterfactual.

I know it's a hard question to answer, but otherwise we're sort of at an impasse. I can say that protests were successful in spite of a violent element, not because of it, and you can say the opposite.

One thing I'll raise is that there have been successful protest movements that didn't involve a significant violent element that were regarded as successful, which at least points towards violence not being a necessary component of a protest movement.

Examples:
- GDR that I mentioned before
- Various feminist movements (suffragates, 60's feminist movement, Take back the Night)
- Occupy (at least in terms of public consciousness)
- Maybe the labor movement (obviously an awful lot of violence against labor, but I can't think of much of the opposite)

The point is that if the non-violent resistance keeps failing to achieve its goals and oppression intensifies, people will obviously start turning to violent means. It's the latent threat of militant resistance that generally forces the oppressor to come to the table with the non-violent resistance.

Yeah, I don't think anyone would disagree with the point that there's ultimately a point where non-violent resistance has failed. I don't think that point is one week after the election. The non-violent protest movement against Trump seems to be successful and has caught the public consciousness. The media is pretty much universally against Trump.

Uh, yeah, you're not going to get Trump to change his mind by waving a banner outside the White House. That is not a successful protest, no.

Also the point of non-violent resistance in the historical cases has in fact been to force the oppressors out of the country in Gandhi's case or force them to give concrete concessions in the case of MLK, and not to "raise awareness" Raising awareness is a tactic towards achieving your goal, not a goal in itself.

My point is the actual threat behind these protests is the swaying of the public opinion over to the side of the protest. The civil rights movement was successful because of the general public not supporting violence in the face of non-violent protest, not because of fear of the black population revolting.

quote:

JFC, you ignoramus. The whole reason why the capitalist class started giving concessions to Labour was the threat posed by socialist revolution. In fact, that was explicitly why Bismarck introduced the first modern welfare systems back in the 19th century.

The victim was black bloc, the black bloc were unquestionably violent at the protest, and the victim reportedly had a knife and brass knuckles on him (the first two points are uncontroversial, but I could be wrong on the 3rd).

You don't need to convince a Nazi though.

You can convince either of the following two sets of people:

1. A not-nazi who has allied themselves with Nazis. There are people who identify as "alt-right" who aren't Nazis. They have some lovely opinions, but they don't want genocide, or at least aren't sure they want it. Nazis don't spring fully formed with adorable little Hitler youth haircuts from the womb. In any situation where you encounter more than one "alt-right" or "Trump" supporter, chances are at least some of them are convincable.

2. More importantly, you can convince (or keep) the general public on your side. You have the moral high ground right now. The american public has less respect for Trump than any president in the history of the U.S., and his popularity isn't improving. Bannon is less liked. Richard Spencer even less so. The way you make their viewpoints unpalatable to modern society is to denounce them and show them for the hate crimes that they are while maintaining the moral high ground. Once you're viewed as just a thug, people stop listening to you, and in the worst cases, sympathize with the Nazis.

For more examples, open the web page of literally any news organization and see how their total and complete focus is highlighting the (almost entirely?) non-violent protests that are erupting across your country over the weekend and today.

To be fair, all of these are examples of protesting the Trump administration and not Richard Spencer or the alt-right specifically. Personally, I think focusing on people with actual power who are currently enacting racist policies is more important than punching the guy who makes racist frog pictures, but that's just me.

Now you're shifting your own goalposts. We're not talking about Trump right now, we're talking about nazis. Explain exactly how your actions would be effective when it comes to resisting nazis.

Wait I thought the reason this was so serious and it's so important to punch Nazis is because they're gaining / have power. I do think Bannon is a white supremacist (if you want to use the word nazi, whatever, fine, the point is he is one), and protesting what he's doing is more important than protesting Nazis that currently do not have power.

Why do you think that resisting policies that ban / deport a group of people based on their ethnicity is not about resisting Nazis?

You don't get to ask me questions while you're refusing to answer mine in an honest manner. So once again, please explain exactly how your actions are effective.

Look at the front page of any major news organization today. Read your social media feeds. A wave of non-violent protest captured the attention of the media and the public at large, and cracks are starting to show in the administration's armor. I'm not saying mission accomplished or anything, but sustained direct action over the coming months has a real chance to turn the public's opinion so far against Trump that even getting him out of the white house is possible.

Regular people are posting about the women's march, the protests this weekend, and upcoming protests way more than they posted about Richard Spencer getting punched. Meanwhile, Trump's approval rating is tanking (which I get is not wholly due to protest, but I think it does have a significant effect)

ps I agree, it would never have occurred to white power genocide advocates to consider arming themselves ... UNTIL NOW darn it :smith:

It's not much better if it serves as a convenient excuse for them to arm themselves.
