    If you aren’t intolerant of intolerance then rest assured their cult of violence will find you.

    It seems to have found you all right.
    I am not against self-defense, but going out of your way to punch your nearby extremist is not going to make them less extreme. What’s your next step when they get more violent, assassinate them? Put them in camps?

      You tell me, how do you reason with the irrational?

      Theres been one way to deal with fascists that’s been proven to work, and that’s active resistance meeting violence head to head.

      Fascism is a reactionary consolidation of power. Industry leaders usurping regulatory control. Social wedges are pressed, laws are passed, that aren’t applied to the ruling class yet are widely used to control, or disappear, minority after minority.

      When capitalism fails the common man thatan has a choice; 1. Fuck capitalism and fuck capitalists. But what do you do about it? Do you work towards democratizing the market or do you, in your dog eat dog society, look out for yourself and hey…these guys that look like me are thinking the same and they want us to all gang up…

      Fascism is easy choice. I get it. But it’s the wrong choice. The answer is eating the rich, not serving the poor up to them hoping for their scraps…like those fatcats ever let anything fall to the floor.

      Fwiw the goal isn’t communism. It’s raising people educated and compassionate enough that there’s no need for government.
