How are Antifa not Nazis?

[Deleted]

Which is why you cast them as heroes?

I never did. Either get back to a discussion level which doesnt involve false accusations, or you receive an ignore.

And you can't start that profession unless you have a willingness to use the tools.

To be fair i am not claiming there is any benevolence involved in the tool in this case (the hammer may be potentially benevolently used, i have no beef with carpenters but the political tool behind the analogy)

Edit: My claim is simply that the tool in this case can be used both by fascists and by left wing extremists without the two having the same political goals

Everyone is a Nazi... can we all just call it a day.

But I thought they were good because they fought the Nazis.

You chose this analogy. It's on you.

Edit: Benevolent political suppression. Amazing.

What the fuck kind of dictionary are you using

The one the far right hands out.

The guys who demolished cars and destroyed private property at G20 werent good. They very rioters.

That doesnt change the fact that antifa followers arent nazis or fascists. Left wing extremists are the opposite political spectrum than nazis and fascists.

Amazing is that you actually read that when i specifically stated i was not claiming there was any benevolence involved in the political tool

There is certainly no benevolence involved in your interpretation of words is there?

The political spectrum is not a line. It's a circle. Go far enough left and you end up going right.

Well you mean same spectrum but I get what your going for.

I don't believe these people are nazis.. nazis are hard workers and contribute to society. Isn't the average antifa living at home? I remember it being a absurd number like 92%

Well, you always end in totalitarism if you either go far right or far left. Still the basic ideology is very different.

It reads more like you don't want to face your own rhetoric. Like someone who denies minorities can be racist

[draynay]

Its like confusing the North Pole with the South Pole, sure there are plenty similarities but they're on opposite ends of the planet, polar bears and penguins don't hang out together except in coca-cola commercials.

Yeah, the Nazis in the early 20th century contributed hard to germany until it got destroyed in 1945, turning germany and europe to scroched earth, with 50 million deaths from war alone and 6 million people killed in concentration camps.

I miss those commercials.

[primalmatter]

Yeah, the Nazis in the early 20th century contributed hard to germany until it got destroyed in 1945, laying germany to waste, with 50 million deaths from war alone and 6 million people killed in concentration camps.

I think most of those where the allies... also can I get a reference for that 6 million?

books

fuckin read some

Nice edit. It's still funny because people are underplaying the use of the hammer by one group.

Look who is changing the topic when he runs out of arguments. Pathetic.

[primalmatter]

I read many... thats why I threw out the number gotten from a propaganda paper... There was a holocaust don't get me wrong but it is inflated quite a bit.

Great post.

Anyone not condemning Antifa is part of the problem. As many have said, we need a "new center".
