enoch_exe_inc@JimBliss The true antifascists—the anarchists, socialists, communists, and trade unionists who were the first targets of the Nazi SA—were the real #Antifa. They were the ones fighting on the streets of Berlin in 1932, not on D-Day in 1944, because that’s when fascism could still be fought. By the time the militaries of other empires intervened, it was already too late; the German left, along with millions of others, had already been massacred, imprisoned, or exiled.
@enoch_exe_inc I'm aware. But at a time when the U.S., led by a dangerous buffoon, is declaring "antifa" / anti-fascism to be akin to terrorism, it's worth reminding people that countless soldiers in the uniform of that same country once died violent deaths to fight the fascist dictators of the 20th century. That being "antifa" was - until recently - an unambiguously good thing.
The image is to make that point in a blunt way. Not to offer a nuanced history of the rise of European fascism.
