How the hell is that supposed to work?Anti-Fascism is still fascism, and is a completely redundant concept.

How many WWII vets have you tried that theory out on?Anti-Fascism is still fascism, and is a completely redundant concept.
In his own autobiography? Of which Michael Foot wrote
Tortuously we are urged to believe that the Mosley quarrel with “certain Jewish interests” had nothing to do with anti-Semitism, that Mosley’s opposition to immigration and his defence of apartheid had nothing to do with racialism, that the thugs who could spread terror in the poor East End houses were uniformed John Stuart Millses, solely concerned to champion free speech….
Page after page, the self adulation grows more strident, the egotism overpowers. At last the man who saw himself as Caesar looks more like a posturing Coriolanus. He cannot tear himself away from the looking-glass where he cuts so fine a figure to the real world where he stooped so low.

But... but... but... Oswald said he was a socialist so he cant be a fascist.Some posters need to read up on what Fascism brought to the lives of their grandfather's and thousands of people including disabled around Europe in the 20th century.
Facism today has even more potential power with the avenues of communication we can enter.. and links to 'secret' organisations hiding behind religion, i.e Opus Dei and others sweating money and greed!
And that, my friend is a different set of arguments. But cant argue other than that this stuff resonates with what is happening today.There’s a certain irony with all the news of anti Semitism in the Labour Party today that your claiming he couldn’t be left wing because he was an anti Semite .

It really doesnt matter what label you give him, or the 'lads' following Yaxley-Lennon, although I suspect the latter might baulk at being called socialists.[/QUOTE

I do understand it - but what wrong in opposing the right wing? Yes we don't want it to get in the way of the football and I doubt it will..I can't see pitched battles raging etc etc..
Glad that there's at least something to remind normal folk that we aren't all like the FLA idiots.
How the hell is that supposed to work?
Whats so hard to understand ? We don't want any of that left/right, fascist/communist, brexit/remainer, confrontational crap at football. Let the authorities deal with any of the so called right wing stuff where it exists. The last thing we want is a bunch of equally deluded opposing idiots spoiling the game and frightening football supporters and sponsors away.
So if you’re anti-fascist, you’re forcefully shutting down a fascists views, which is technically a form of fascism if you’re going by the definition of the word.
This will probably seem like I'm trolling but I'm not, just a bit young to remember the troubles. I've never understood why "no surrender" is considered offensive beyond it bringing politics into sport.
I'm sure I'm missing some subtlety but the IRA was/is a terrorist organisation that's murdered more British people than all Islamic terrorists put together but I've heard plenty of jokes/songs about Daesh or Bin Laden which aren't considered offensive.
This is the important question. Do you allow freedom of speech to people who want to take away your freedom of speech?
Yes you do.

You can't say that.Yes you do.
