(7,309 posts)Anarchism as political philosophy is diametrically opposed to these fascist, right-wing, reactionary tactics.
To be sure, I'm not saying that anarchism doesn't have it violent elements, but its usually as a reaction to state oppressive institutions. The Black Army (otherwise known as The Revolutionary Insurrectionary Army of the Ukraine) was a militia led by Nestor Makhno to combat the White Armies and, at times, the Red Army (with which they were also allied). The Spanish Civil War anarchists were fighting fascism. Another case would be the Zapatistas. So, there are times when some anarchists use violence as a means to combat state oppression.
The guys in the OP are nothing but a bunch of fascists trying to impose their tyranny on everyone else.
