Sounds like a dumb movement by some nerds. What kind of a ing retard calls himself an 'anti-fascist?'

I think this part is pretty stupid:

"Typically, anti-fascism also includes opposing homophobia, sexism, racism."

Homophobia, sexism, and racism are forms of fascism?  I think that's a bit of unnecessary hyperbole.

It sounds good but has a dumb name.  I'd call it "anti-dsicrimination"

I don't see what the big deal is these days about anti-fascism.  It's not like it's coming back. 

Good lord man, don't you look at the news?  What do you think is happening in America right now?

I agree.  Overall, I voted very positive.  I hate all lefties, and that includes fascists and commies.

They're all probably too high to implement it.

My opinion of anti-fascists is that these are guys that either (a) lived in times and places where it was relevant, such as all those guys with strings of consonants in their names given in the link or (b) live in times when it's irrelevant.  Irrelevant, because the definition involves not only the "belief" but also the "practice" of actively opposing fascism.  So, the reader is obliged to find a definition for fascism to understand the anti-fascist mentality.  According to the same Yuppie Short-Attention Span Theater Source you supply, Wikipedia, fascism is defined as a political movement which has about as much relevance to a 20-year old Minnesotan as the "Aether" through which Millikan projected his electrons in the 1800s.  So my opinion of folks like Mordechaj Anielewicz would then be pretty high.  My opinion of folks falling under the (b) category is that these "antifa" types have way too much free time.

Anti-Fascism can ironically be Fascist in itself.  Depending on the country and situations.  Now true ideologically Anti- Fascism, the polar opposite at least, could be described as Anarcho-Marxism.

No one has too much free time, angus.  Such a thing is impossible.

Oh, give me a break.  This country is absolutely nowhere near being considered anything slightly similar to anything even related to fascism.  I bet you don't even know what fascism is.

No, I find the current situation in the US to be fairly fascistic, and certainly theocratic.  Sort of two thirds along the way to both.
