>Yes, but also the ones on the way to authoritarianism, as was argued the Trump regime is.

Democrats/leftists/ANTIFA don't hate authoritarianism, They hate that they're not the ones in charge of dealing the authoritarianism on their opposition, as shown by the masked mob gestapo they set up in Minnesota doing "papers please, you're either with us or against us" on civilians passing by to confirm they hate ICE.

If Kamala-Walz would have won the election, they would have done the same to Trump and friends in republican states, and you would have called it "justice for Nazis", not fascism ,which is the justification ANTIFA use when they beat up innocent people.

Also even if true, there's a vast difference between a rando on the street asking those questions vs a government agent. That's assuming the government agent isn't too much of a pussy to identify himself instead of hiding behind a mask.

    If I show you camera footage on X of this happening will you accept it in good faith or nitpick it on why it's not valid?

    Ah classic, so even if it's happening, it's not a bad thing because an unelected unaccountable mob is doing it, just like in third world countries.

    • If you show me the evidence, I will examine it. That may include examining the surrounding context if it's not blatantly obvious.

Antifa doesn't beat up innocent people, it does society a service by beating up fascists.

It's in the name, antifascists. They rose from the fascism of the 20th century and have a proud history of fighting the original Nazis.

God bless them for carrying on the good fight!

    • Not if you label me as fascist, if I were to fit the definition of fascist.

      Umberto Ecos Ur-Fascism might be worth a read.

      Fascism isn't just "things I don't like". It's specific behavioral patterns that lead to the worst crimes in modern history and that must be stomped out at any cost. Words have meanings.
