PSA: the main reason that Britain never had a European-style mass fascist movement in the 1930s is because socialists, Jews, trade unionists, black folk and queer people physically dismantled the Blackshirt movement in its infancy by disrupting meetings, toppling stages and assaulting prominent fascists. This meant it never reached critical mass as a street gang capable of controlling public space and providing a pole of attraction for white, working-class youth - a fundamental precondition for the exercise of political power independent of the state by fascist Parties.
my maternal grandfather grew up in a south london working class jewish community and has told me so many stories about this! <3
DIRECT ACTION WORKS
ATTACKING NAZIS WORKS
All the pathetic fools who say that “Punching Nazis isn’t the answer”…history says otherwise
Violence is ABSOLUTELY the answer to the problem of Nazi terrorists infesting a country
Beating the living shit out of every single Nazi or gathering of Nazis that dares to slither out from beneath its rock IS the answer
MAKE NAZIS AFRAID AGAIN
and the reason people think that we don’t need antifa is precisely because antifa’s tactics have been working
