There's no such thing as being "basically" fascists: either you are a fascist or you aren't. Totalitarian, violent extremists, maybe. But that's a strange "general truth" you're stating here. The anti-fascists I know (basically, everyone) are radically averse to violence. In fact, being anti-fascist is the one single thing everyone agrees on, even the parties branded as "fascist" by everyone else! Is this violence the case in your country, or are you generalizing from fringe groups?
I was talking more about various street level anti-fascist organizations like say this one and other more recent "antifa" groups across Europe, not the average person who would describe themselves as against fascism or "anti-fascist". Also I meant fascist in the sense of using fascist tactics and mode of operation. Fascism before takeover was basically street level political violence and intimidation with good ol boys sympathetic to their causes in the law enforcement and the court system helping them get off with minimal penalties.
I have found this most wonderful (if fairly lengthy) article, and thought you would enjoy having it brought to your attention.
It is so good, I think we should include it among the references in the "Politics is the Mind Killer" wiki page. But, before that, I submit it to you, and ask you: is there anything in this article that would warrant its exclusion from this site? I mean, besides the fact that it is about politics, and written by a notorious Social-democrat (And is that in itself grounds for exclusion?).
