Except Antifa isn’t a formal organization, it’s a descriptor for an ideology. An organization can call itself anything, even if it isn’t a proper descriptor, but an ideology is by necessity defined by its name.
Or who conveniently forget about the Southern Strategy and the great party switch. Massive, massive mental gymnastics to put themselves on the ‘right’ side of history every time
He’s probably one of those people who think the nazis were socialists because nazi is short for “national socialist”.
Probably, despite the fact that Hitler himself said they weren’t socialists.
The socialists of the party were killed in Night of the Long Knives
I mean but c’mon are we going to believe a word he said? /S
He wouldn’t even need to say it - just look what the Nazis were which was basically fascism + racial science + antisemitism
While I agree with both of you, these two points kinda contradict each other.
Many do think antifa is just a different word for socialist, so it’s not necessarily a contradiction.
It is a contradiction, though.
“Antifa are ANTI fascist - it’s in the name!!”
“The Nazis weren’t socialist - you could name yourself whatever you want!!”

Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.
I thought it was “I did Nazi that coming”
