Anti-fascism as the worst product.

[Bright Banana Beard]

Why is "anti-fascism" is the worst product of fascism? Isn't this is the best product of fascism?

[Zanthorus]

Because it was in the name of 'anti-fascism' that the proletariat was conned into supporting their respective governments in the Second Imperialist World War, abandoning the revolutionary classist line of the transformation of the imperialist war into a civil war. It was on the basis of 'anti-fascism' that the Popular Fronts were formed and the interests of the proletariat subjected to the interests of the 'progressive' and 'democratic' bourgeoisie and petit-bourgeoisie. Capitalism has brought innumerable horrors on a similar scale to fascism, genocide and ethnic cleansing, experimentation with human beings etc. But do the good 'democratic' anti-fascists point out any of this barbarism? No. Instead, 'Fascism' is rolled out as the root of all evil, and the crimes of capitalism glossed over, in order to provide an ideological mystification to force the proletariat into supporting the struggle against 'totalitarianism'.
