Yes, Antifa Is Very Dangerous -- But Not To Fascists - by Gene Lyons

27. Thank God others have noted the privilege this guy has.......

Of course in the end, that privilege won't help him if the fascists build their mass movement. As usual, that movement will come after communists, socialists, and trade unionists FIRST, darker skinned and Jewish people SECOND, and liberals LAST. Speaking as one of the first they'll come for, I'm not comfortable letting THEM get comfortable on the streets without letting them know it won't be as easy this time around.

Also this is NOT 1968. In 2017 the majority of people are not economically comfortable like they were in 1968. In 2017 most are living a precarious economic existence under capitalism. Today it's NOT just a war and the draft that is concerning a mass of people to get out in the streets, it's the entire system that's giving grief. Compared to those systemic problems, ending an unjustified and imperialist war was an easy fix.

It's really a simple proposition. If fascists are NOT confronted on the streets where they make their home, then they will grow. If they grow, they will win through intimidation. I'd rather stop them now in their infancy than in a few years when it will take millions of dedicated and armed communists and leftists to stop them.
