Incredible.
Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.
I’m just confused what definition of fascism you’re going off of where the British parliament imposing a tax on tea is fascism but people of one race owning people of another race and forcing them to work though beatings and abuse isn’t.
But yes the real answer is that they were neither pro- or anti-fascist because fascism wasn’t a thing. In terms of history, I don’t really think we should label it fascism anytime someone does a bad thing. But if we are going to use it that way then we should do so consistently.
What about the constitution and bill of rights? That honestly feels like something an anti fascist would write to prevent a fascist from taking over.
When I read about fascism, though, it is never about owning slaves. It’s more about how the government treated its citizens/media/economy/etc. Maybe it’s something they did, but owning slaves was not what made them fascist.
