One frustrating thing is some anarchist outlets wanna make everyone who opposes fash out to be Black bloc and always radical young whites but if you look at footage i won’t share its Black DC or Black philly mostly coming out to do self defense against fascism yet against

It’s self promoting and won’t do anything for the movement. Anti fascism is actually a popular movement let’s act like it is and give credit to ppl who don’t exactly share our niche politics who came out to defend their community too

Liberals too when actually faced with real live fascists can be pushed or push themselves to understand self defense. Constantly being like us traveling white kids are the only ones opposing fascism is some real glory clout shit that won’t advance antifascism

And this is exactly what antifascism should be an umbrella of groups coming to stop fascism instead of crediting yourself and your crew and ppl who look like you with the work we need to associate antifa with a broader group of ppl

Successes in chapel hill ie nazis knowing they would be opposed every time they set foot on campus came from coalition building communication and mutual aid between groups that were not blatantly anarchist.

the white kids trying to promote that anti fascists look like them through their big anarchist publication that I hate, excluded liberals, Black college students, communists, union folks and that’s why their plans for “anarchy” and any material gain never took off where they live

Then again for a lot of those folks it’s an aesthetic and a social club and a way to define themselves not an actual movement
