I haven't seen Antifa oppose any fascists. Mostly they seem to scream fascist and attack anyone that isn't part of their fringe left insanity.

Thus Orwell and Let this be the last battlefield. If the Nazis thought they could get away with it they would do the same thing. Their opposition to each other is like a Babylon 5 episodes where a race had periods of fighting to the death based on what color ribbon they pulled out of a barrel. Make up a new name and you could have them all on the same side.

I heard there were about 200 that showed up for the "Unite the Right" rally. About 15 of them were part of the American National Socialist Party.

They were in effect his brown shirts.

Fascism in its purest form.

Are you sure Orwell would support such lowlife CRIMINAL scum? You don't really think much, don't you? I really have to laugh at your pure stupidity to actually believe Orwell would support anyone who acts exactly like a fascists. So what is a right winger called if he/she gets violent with people to force their political views onto others? Aren't they called fascists? What makes you think Orwell would all the sudden be okay with that behaviour simply because they aren't in the KKK?

Yeah, once again (1) pointing out a fact is "an attack," and (2) that makes yet another poster who can't tell the difference between metaphor and definition. In this case, the poster is self-insulting.

Anyone with any familiarity with Orwell, or his life long opposition to fascism will have no doubt about which side he would support in the US today. Anyone with any familarity with Orwell or his beliefs would find the notion that he might align himself with neo-Nazis, the KKK and far right racist thugs so preposterous it would be funny. Orwell volunteered to fight in the Spanish Civil War on the Republican side, against the fascists of Franco and his Nazi supporters. Unlike some posters here, he had no confusion about where fascism was located on the political spectrum - for Orwell and like minded people of his generation, fascism was an unambiguously, unequivocally right wing phenomenon to be opposed at every stop everywhere by whatever means necessary. Orwell would definitely regard Charlottesville's assorted crew of far Right bigots racists and neo-Nazis as "lowlife criminal scum" and probably would be quite sympathetic to the notion of killing the whole wretched lot of them. What was true for Orwell's generation is just as true today. Fascism has always been, is and always will be a purely Right wing phenomenon.

The argument that the people who are making an effort to physically oppose the fascist elements of the American right are fascists themselves is hilarious, if we're honest. The people who are willing to fight fire with fire because the klansmen, white supremacists, boneheads and other neo-nazi groups won't go away if they're ignored are fascists, but the people who are enabling the lunatic right by sitting on their hands and villifying anybody who opposes (or even just disses) the fascist elements of the right aren't? Still, I'm sure it's nice for some posters to know that the French Vichy government, Quisling in Norway and the rest weren't fascists, but these guys were: [img]http://blog-imgs-68.fc2.com/t/e/k/tekcat/dday.jpg[/img]

You've really topped yourself. (1) Antifa has been around quite some time, and has opposed fascists often. (2) You might argue they've been ineffective. But hardly the confusion that you too show you share between metaphor and definition. Beyond the silly name childishness, the "enemy of America" nonsense shows you getting worse. Not to mention trivializing the significant struggle this country made against both fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Best guess, your personal hatred has clouded what judgment you've had. You've become a BoscoX clone. Now that you can't follow mn around trading felchgobbles, you seem adrift and looking desperately for new places to react -- but with the same ridiculousness.

Right. He's pro free speech for Nazis marching and shouting hate slogans, but against groups opposing that marching and shouting their slogans. And then is befuddled how anyone could see him as a Nazi sympathizer. Or just looking to provoke reactions.

~FR~ Ever read Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant," about his experience as part of the military governance of Burma? Very instructive about how and why he formed his later views -- and why he's definitely not a fascist fan. http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/887/

Violent antifa mobs don't "just" violently oppose unpopular groups practicing their free speech rights They physically attack many others for disagreeing with their fascist hate mantra Everyone gets that but you

See, here's the thing -- absolutely, oppose the physical violence. It's why we have police. It's why they get arrested. But you manage to spin it around to sympathy for the poor Nazi victims. Who frankly, aren't doing so badly. I know you suck at definitions, but here's another important distinction: - groups and individuals who oppose neo-Nazis (they have my blessing, within the constraints of the law, even if I think most of what they do is noise). - groups and individuals who favor anarchy. I'm a pro-government liberal, not a "government is the problem" neo-conservative iconoclast. Alas, current day antifa does appear to be leaning toward the anarchist view. It won't serve them well in the end, any more than shows of hate and force will serve the neo-Nazis in the end. But even there, fascism and anarchism are worlds apart. They are hardly birds of a feather.

BoscoX -> RE: George Orwell Would Have Supported Antifa' (9/4/2017 6:47:00 AM)
You are a brain damaged howler troll. Moronic beyond words I have never twisted anything to sympathy for Nazis, that's purely in your psychotic hallucinations. A product of your your unmanaged derangement syndrome Now to pivot away from the trolls' derail into fallacies - Re: The topic, and in communist left California, no less: From the LA Times - After Bay Area violence, California debates classifying 'antifa' as a street gang
