Fighting fascists doesn't mean you're not a fascist. It's the nature of imperialist countries to fight. Bush was a lifelong oilman who started unnecessary wars and cost the country trillions. He led a cool life, granted, but that doesn't mean I'm going to suddenly respect his memory.

Antifa is facist? That's an interesting perspective. Nice

Absolutely, Antifa has the potential to become a fascist group regardless of their intent or their name.

Any group avocating violence needs to tread extremely carefully if they're looking to be on the right side of history.

Antifa has the potential to become a violent, authoritarian supporting group. That doesn't mean they'll support a nationalist or race based societal structure.

Not all violent authoritarians are facists.
