When talking about accusing people of anything convenience should not be a factor. If we are taking the time to fight on another's behalf we can at least educate ourselves about the issue. Not to mention as pointed out the umbrella term is fascist. On 22/03/2018 at 6:02 PM, Big Brother said: but don't presume to judge those of us who feel compelled to act against these hateful people because we value the lives of human beings. If some Nazis have to die to save entire groups of people from ruthless slaughter, then that is a price anyone should be willing to pay. It's beyond preposterous to equalize those who would use violence to protect human beings with those who would use violence to exterminate them. It is very important to judge those who would use violence even to defend others... that is why we review police and investigate how they handle matters. It is why our laws require due process... to make sure we do not cross the line into tyranny ourselves. On 22/03/2018 at 6:02 PM, Big Brother said: Besides, there's a very easy way Nazis and the like can rid themselves of any threat of violence against them; they can stop being Nazis. That's all it takes. That is by no means certain many far left regimes round up former members of not just far right parties but also democratic groups and even union members decades after the party comes to power.

The proper umbrella term is indeed fascist, but in practice a lot of people use the word Nazi in very much the same way. That's not to say that's the correct word to use, it's just an observation of something that is actually occurring. Perhaps convenience shouldn't be a factor when accusing people of something, but people still do things out of convenience all the time. Why you don't recognize the difference between what things should ideally be like and how they are in practice, is beyond me. I shouldn't have to explain these things to you. Even if you don't think using Nazi as an umbrella term is correct surely you have witnessed people use it in that way, which is something I was merely pointing out, not endorsing. I'm confident you understood this already which leads me to believe that you're just trying to be intentionally difficult, describing to me what things should be like, which words should be used, instead of accepting my observations as to what things are actually like and which words are actually used. 3 hours ago, Senatorius said: It is very important to judge those who would use violence even to defend others... that is why we review police and investigate how they handle matters.

Am I a leftist regime? Am I speaking on behalf of a leftist regime? I think not. I don't dispute that left-wing regimes have persecuted many many people but based on what I have observed and learned about anti-fascist movements (not authoritarian left-wing regimes), I can tell you with certainty that the vast majority of anti-fascist movements don't bother fascists who aren't politically active and who don't actually encourage or agitate for ethnic cleansing, ethnostates, segregation and the like. They bother those that are active, and once they cease their activities, their work is done. At least for the time being.

Rozalia Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 It's in practice for you and your merry band of regressives. It isn't in practice for normal people. Try again. Your anti-fascist defence is laughable by the way as it is well known that those thugs are more than happy to attack Conservatives because everyone right of Lenin is a Nazi apparently, oh and yes, I am not being literal in that statement before you pathetically try to worm away using that. Anyway everyone will notice that my massive takedown of him wasn't addressed, but he he did choose to address a softer takedown. Big Brother FEARS THE ROZ!

Never did I think you were a far left regime or part of one but some anti fascist movements have had ties to some pretty horrific far left governments and the trouble with the movement is it lacks the accountability. Should people be expected to just take a groups word that someone is a nazi or should the accusers have to follow due process? There are definitely times when violence is sadly needed against some pretty horrible people.. ie Britain vs Nazi Germany but the government still had to explain it's actions. Everyone should be equally accountable under the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true and I agree that it should be handled with care. I don't condone using it as a political weapon and I wasn't trying to present a judgment as to whether or not using the word as an umbrella term way is right or wrong. I was just trying to show that people do use it that way and why they use it that way. 1 hour ago, Senatorius said: I think more to the point if violence is to be used against fascists then it should be by properly qualified authorities not self appointed anti fascist movements. A democratically elected government can fight fascists and be held accountable by the people for the actions they take. A democratically elected government can fight fascists, but unfortunately there have been and continue to be many cases where they don't. Even worse, there's many cases where the lawful authorities have sided with fascists against the people they were supposed to protect, leading to state sponsored terrorism. When the lawful authorities don't do their job, someone else has to step in, even if that means opposing the lawful authorities, should they side with political forces that endanger people. I don't expect anyone to automatically trust any and all anti-fascist movements, people will have to make up their own minds about each and every group. But even if people don't always trust anti-fascist movements, they're still a necessity when the authorities fail to meet their responsibilities. 1 hour ago, Senatorius said: Never did I think you were a far left regime or part of one but some anti fascist movements have had ties to some pretty horrific far left governments and the trouble with the movement is it lacks the accountability.

There are definitely times when violence is sadly needed against some pretty horrible people.. ie Britain vs Nazi Germany but the government still had to explain it's actions. Everyone should be equally accountable under the law. I want to agree with you but once again the problem is that the law itself becomes a politicized weapon used for political persecution or for allowing such persecution to take place. I don't expect people to believe every single accusation they witness of someone being a Nazi but I think a due process, which I understand as a legal procedure, is very much susceptible to abuse and isn't actually necessary to judge whether or not someone is a Nazi. All you really need is access to information or knowledge about what a Nazi is and information about which ideas, policies, beliefs and so on, that the people accused of being Nazis throw their support behind. If the two match, there's good reason to believe that the accused is in fact a Nazi. If a group of people suspected or accused of being Nazis hold a rally where they openly espouse the policies of national socialism and the authorities won't do anything about it, a due process is not only unnecessary (in relation to judging whether or not someone is a Nazi) but also more or less impossible to achieve due to the inaction of the authorities. So while I wish anti-fascist movements weren't necessary and that the law would function as you've described it, the sad fact is that sometimes it doesn't and that's when people are forced to take action, regardless of whether or not that action is sanctioned by the law.

Yes but that isn't a problem unique to fascism...communisim or religion can also lead to state sponsored terrorism. Many different nations have failed to defend or build democratic systems. Sometimes a civil war is unfortunately needed but historically civil wars have low odds of establishing fair and equal democracies. If the government is already rounding people up you have nothing to lose but usually it just turns into the ones with the power start becoming the bullies. 2 hours ago, Big Brother said: but I think a due process, which I understand as a legal procedure, is very much susceptible to abuse I definitely feel that the lack of a legal process is far easier to abuse than an open and established legal process established by a democratic government.
