Got this from r/socialism... (https://www.reddit.com/r/socialism/comments/40k1h2/250_organized_nazis_attack_leftist_quarter_in/)

Wow...that's some serious shit right there.

Obviously, the Far Right is a global phenomenon and wherever they show up should be a cause for concern...but the fact that this is happening in Germany brings up some very bad memories.

It really does look like the Left and the Right are on the cusp of some major confrontation in the near future.

Well, we've been heralding a confrontation for the last 100 years or so, so its not surprising this is the reaction. All out war doesn't seem too likely, not yet anyways

I've been searching through German and other news sources and I can't find much on this. What is antifa or other groups doing aside from the clashes you alluded to.

Some english news sources, in german radical circles there is much debate about what this (what happened in Koln during new years eve and the extreme right explosion of violence since then) will and should mean for antifascism.
