Subject: Re: Antifa at it again in Seattle
"My dear old Grandpa was a WW2 veteran, a real American hero.
He used to like to say, "I was Antifa before it was cool."

My Dad and his brothers were anti-fascist (anti-nazi) street fighters in 1930s Vienna. They left in 1939 and made it into the US Army in time to do their part with your Grandpa.

“The thing about us fascists is, it’s not that we don’t believe in freedom of speech. You can say whatever you want. We’ll just throw you in an oven.”
--Charlottesville fascist, Peter Tefft.


As for the slippery-slopists, afraid that Antifa will begin with Fascists and eventually attack anybody who opposes them, Bray maintains that the historical record does not support this fear: anti-Fascists who have shut down local hate groups, as in Denmark, usually go dark themselves, or turn their attention to other political projects, rather than finding new enemies to fight. (In his Atlantic piece, Beinart notes, “When fascism withered after World War II, antifa did too.”)
