@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 yes and i still think this post is correct in pointing out the irony that the army of the United States that once fought the fascists now has a commander in chief that considers antifa to be a terrorist organisation.

@betalars @enoch_exe_inc You can fight against fascism and still not be an antifascist. Captain America is a fictional example; almost all the other Allied forces (except the Soviet Red Army) are real-life examples. The Western Allies fought the Axis, not fascism as an ideology; and WWII was a geopolitical war fought against the rival imperialist forces of the Axis, and not a moral crusade.
