please read and boost if you agree. i am curious as to how many of you feel about my thoughts here.
i genuinely see the state of antifascism in 2022 as too decentralized for its own good. looking through the "action" page of the Patriot Front's website, which overflows with telegram posts showcasing their fascist graffiti, shows how far-reaching their intimidation tactics have become. we can rally behind slogans like "protect trans kids" and study leftist/anarchist history all we want, but i believe that in order to truly, directly combat the rise of right-wing hate groups in the past two years we need to see quick increases in the membership and participation of organized leftist groups such as the SRA and JBGC. where the patriot front has a single propaganda outlet (patriotfront dot us) to organize and recruit more fascists, those who are leftist or antifa-minded are left with a patchwork of tiny & sometimes non-functional websites, twitter/mastodon profiles, and local mutual aid orgs. often times, it is confusing or straight up difficult to join a chapter of your local socialist group. we can't just be left with the DSA, guys.
