Violating the rights of others and claiming it as their right to do so. Claiming the police are the instrument of the corrupt system which they must protect the poor ignorant masses from.

"dissenting views"

Nazi rallies are not "dissenting views", they are threats of genocide. That's what Nazism is. Antifa is well within their right to protect their communities from those that would threaten it.

Ah yes, Antifa is a loose grouping of far left anarchists and communists, while the Democratic Party is a center-to-center-right party that is explicitly capitalist. These groups totally have the same agenda.

I remember reading about when Pinochet took power in Chile he surrounded the presidential palace with banners and strongly worded graffiti. The lack of banners and graffiti is why the 1991 Soviet coup failed, too.

The same old "Not wanting your culture to be mocked and exploited == segregation" nonsense.

Just another reason to not like the Nazis.

If anything, the rise of Hitler was an example of the left not being proactive enough or taking the threat seriously. Had the communist party accepted being coalition partners with the social democrats there would have been no crisis that lead to Hindenburg appointing Hitler chancellor.

Had the German Communists not been so much a pack of thugs that Hitler could blame them for the Reichstag fire, the enabling act wouldn't have been passed and Hitler would have needed some other crisis to seize absolute power.

Okay, I think this thread has run its course.
