"behaves very fascist"

Yeah those evil fascist protestors doing violence, waving American flags, demanding strict social hierarchies, with ultra-right-wing views

And your claim is still a big fat lie.

[-] uberrice@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago

Reasons why I think Antifa is fascist:

  1. they paint people they don't like as 'Nazis' - just like right wing fascists like to paint everyone they don't like as a 'jew'
  2. they endorse violence against these 'Nazis'
  3. they self-radicalize by echo-chambering, removing themselves farther and farther from the "real world"

Do you not agree with these statements?

Are they also ultra-nationalist, ultra-right-wing, and in favor of strict social hierarchies? There's more to fascism than just being mean to people you don't like

According to Britannica:

Fascism : a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government

While what I described is not centrally controlled by a dictator (and anyone claiming that Antifa was centrally controlled is a nutcase, I agree), the way Antifa as a collective behaves does try to "control the lives of people, not allowing them to disagree with them" - at least in my opinion. You're free to have your own.
