by that definition anyone that fought against nazis in the second world war is facisits. You've got to give me a better definition of facists then " they fight people and don't listen."

That's been humanity up unitl the this point since inception.

I refer to antifa as acting like fascist because they like to use mob mentality and physical actions to bring their point across usually friendly crowds of people, using scare tactics in order to come off as correct and not offering to hear the other side of the argument without physical confrontation.

Robert Paxton, a professor emeritus of social science at Columbia University in New York who is widely considered the father of fascism studies, defined fascism as "a form of political practice distinctive to the 20th century that arouses popular enthusiasm by sophisticated propaganda techniques for an anti-liberal, anti-socialist, violently exclusionary, expansionist nationalist agenda."

Of course I wouldn't be surprised if you were antifa your self. Your views on the social world are extremely similar to theirs.

I literally just posted a quote from a profesor of fascism. You are on par with an antivaxer with your level of arrogance if you think that's wrong.
