That more modern-looking pic, any idea where/when that was taken?

Fascism Fact Sheet - US Army ZDU Friday #1

irrelevant to my post. WarGamer Friday #4

Thank you! ZDU Friday #21

Well that's pretty interesting... jmbar2 Friday #33

Wrong SamuelTheThird Friday #2

S/He's not "wrong" AZJonnie Friday #7

Read it again SamuelTheThird Friday #8

Okay, that one word is probably incorrect AZJonnie Friday #11

It's not correct in the least SamuelTheThird Friday #12

I don't disagree with what you're asserting Antifa is today. AZJonnie Friday #16

It's an effective fucking meme, comparing gis to antifa SamuelTheThird Friday #17

No it isn't. Because the military is not "anti-fascist". LeftInTX Friday #19

Youre disagreeing with OP SamuelTheThird Friday #23

It actually goes both ways. Because they are not the same. LeftInTX Friday #29

I do understand why you took it in totality the way you did. Perhaps WG will come along to clarify. AZJonnie Friday #20

I took it in totality because HE said modern antifa is simply a front group for the communism SamuelTheThird Friday #24

Yes, I already said I understood why you took it the way you did. The word "today" clouded the point. AZJonnie Friday #25

I could have used the term neo-antifa I guess... WarGamer Friday #40

I think you're engaging in sophistry SamuelTheThird Friday #43

Fortunately I never claimed that. WarGamer Friday #44

Spurious SamuelTheThird Friday #45

Fun fact! dpibel Friday #51

Hey on the plus side the OP managed to get through a comment about WW2 BannonsLiver Friday #31

I never said that... got a link? WarGamer Friday #41

Thanks for the history lesson. Always good to have the facts AZJonnie Friday #3

Salem, Oregon Ani Yun Wiya Friday #38

Ah, thank you AZJonnie Friday #39

Speak for yourself WSHazel Friday #5

You're completely missing the point. WarGamer Friday #6

These people are (or were, until recently) out in the streets actually fighting real neo-nazis SamuelTheThird Friday #9

GIs were absolutely anti-fascist in service DoBW Friday #34

Neither should people who want Medicare For All leftstreet Friday #10

Really, nobody in the USA uses the term Antifa in that sense. MineralMan Friday #13

Your dad was under orders of the US military which was fighting Germany, which happened to be fascist. LeftInTX Friday #15

More nomenclature. MineralMan Friday #18

My dad got in during Korea. He was a B29 pilot. Then stayed in for 20 years. He was also sent to Vietnam LeftInTX Friday #26

Thank you! GI's are not protesters! The US military is also not technically "anti-fascist". LeftInTX Friday #14

Words can have more than one meaning LostOne4Ever Friday #22

Calling Antifa an "organization" today is a stretch. yardwork Friday #27

Don't Exist OC375 Friday #28

It does exist. Portland has an active group. You can read more on their website: LeftInTX Friday #32

... BannonsLiver Friday #30

nice meme WarGamer Friday #42

Wingnuts/MAGAts from their ignorance usually blur words/concepts, such as saying "We are a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY" & UTUSN Friday #35

Oddly, if you ask any Republican if they support fascism they would say, "No". LeftInTX Friday #37

Remind me again which side Stalin and the USSR ended up on in World War Two? muriel_volestrangler Friday #36

Many of them also fought against Communists in the Korean War LeftInTX Friday #46

Trump would love your OP. Kingofalldems Friday #47

ok WarGamer Friday #48

When are you headed over to Glendale for the big CK lovefest? BannonsLiver Friday #49

What's in Glendale? Other than nice rug and flooring stores? WarGamer Friday #50

Maybe Huntington Beach would be more of his vibe? fujiyamasan Saturday #56

Democrats are the party of slavery Buzz cook Saturday #52

WarGamer? You've no idea how wrong you are. ANTI-fascist equals ancianita Saturday #53

All that time and effort and still wrong. WarGamer Saturday #55

Yes. ancianita Saturday #57

And how can you say they were "never" a communist front group. WarGamer Saturday #59

Here is antifa's letter to trump, the first and last time antifa in the U.S. spoke up for itself. ancianita Saturday #54

Neo-Nazis aren't an organization either... it's a loose alliance of like minded people mirroring a historical group WarGamer Saturday #58

I'm going to self del... not because it's inaccurate... WarGamer Saturday #60
