There was nothing fascist, neo-fascist or racist about the G20 meeting in Hamburg. The black-clad antifas still attacked it with lots of force and violence.
They were quite happy to dress up in Nike and take photos with iPhones, though.
- dragonwriter 9y ago> No,the "anti-fascist" movement has other uniting purposes. For instance, opposing capitalism or market economy. While Antifa membership is largely drawn from the an anarchocommunist community and some other radical anticapitalism groups, anticapitalism is not it's purpose. As some American Antifa members pointed out in response to criticism that Antifa did not organize against Obama in the US: “To criticize antifa for not mobilizing against Obama is to misunderstand the movement: anti-fascism is not a comprehensive critique of hierarchical society in and of itself. Anti-fascist work is done as a piece of, and not a replacement for, a larger radical vision. […] Mobilizing large radical movements against neoliberal (or populist) capitalism is not the focus of anti-fascism; this is the work of the anarchist and anti-capitalist movements as a whole.” https://anarchistnews.org/content/what-do-us-antifascists-actually-believe-reply-antifa-some-critical-notes https://anarchistnews.org/content/what-do-us-antifascists-ac...
