Who decides who are the fascists?

A community activist in Seattle is organizing against Antifa calling them terrorists for causing violence and hijacking social justice issues such as Black Lives Matter and the homeless issue.

Should that group also be refused by everyone, or does it depend on political ideology?

Common sense and arbitrary decisions. If you’re making this point you’re a bad faith actor.

Can you explain how I'm a bad faith actor.

Because the literal definition of fascism is far-right and authoritarian.

Here are some definitions of fascism:

"forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism"

"violent suppression of the opposition"

The business owner in the video has said the Antifa group has retaliated against his business by smashing their windows and causing destruction to other business for sending a letter to the Mayor.

Victoria Beach from the African-American community relations says in the video "if you don't agree with them they're going to attack you in some way, in a group, not one on one. They are cowards and we aren't going to take it".

According to the literal definition they are fascists.

No, being a fascist by definition requires you to be on the right of the political spectrum. Where did you get those definitions from? Parler?

> Who decides who are the fascists?

Well, let’s start with: the ones who took over the US Capitol building. And then later we can look at the results, decide if that was enough or not, and act accordingly.

That's a strange framework to decide who the fascists are.

That’s what’s great about it—you don’t need a framework at all. You can look at your surroundings and decide what is most appropriate right now.

So when Veronica Beach talks about Antifa terrorizing parts of Seattle, are they fascists?
Re:Parler CEO Says Service Dropped by “Every Vendor” and Cou... by mcphage on Monday January 11, 2021 @07:14AM (#25727891)
If they haven’t tried taking over the government yet, I’d say, wait.

No, fascists are by definition right wing.
