Today in Labor History April 1, 1976: Surrealist artist, Max Ernst, died. In addition to his artwork, he was an anti-Fascist, who was literally chased out of France by the Gestapo. He opposed Stalin’s Moscow trials. And much of his art had anti-Fascist and anti-Stalinist themes. He produced his painting “Fireside Angel” (or “Angel of the Hearth and Home”) after the Spanish Republicans were defeated by the Fascists. Ernst said, “Now this was naturally an ironic title for a sort of ungainly beast that tramples down and destroys everything in its path. It was the impression I had at the time of what was likely to happen in the world, and I was right.”

From the article:

The Trump administration is organizing an international summit focused on countering the left-wing movement antifa and other groups, three sources familiar with the matter said, an effort that highlights the shift in the U.S. government's counterterrorism priorities ​over the past year.

The conference, tentatively planned for June or July, will convene officials from various nations to discuss strategies for battling antifa and encourage intelligence sharing, said the sources, who requested anonymity ‌as they were not authorized to speak to the media.

[Note: This is a pretty uncritical article about the Trump regime's approach to dealing with antifascists specifically and left and anarchist perspectives generally. All the relevant caveats apply.]

I think this summit will be held in Disneyland. With a lot of extra fantasy figures added.

“When you repeatedly target communities already under surveillance and repression, eventually someone reacts. This is how it works now. They show up. They escalate. They lie. The state steps in. The police enforce it. The courts legitimize it.”

Fortunately this time, it didn’t work. But the fascists will keep trying. So be safe out there, friends.

Great distraction from the Epstein files and the thickening quagmire in Iran — but it's not going to lower gas prices nor help with the midterms:
U.S. plans a witch hunt — err... antifa summit.

Deflect and distract. 🙁
