Anti-fascism is the new fascism?

[FriedFrog]

Have a little read of this article. I wouldnt mind hear what peoples opinions were on it?

'ANTI-FASCISM' IS THE NEW FASCISM (http://www.cesc.net/radicalweb/radicalconsultation/rankin/ar2.html)

Have fun. Im interested as to what people think on this one...

I think it's complete and utter tripe. It bases itself on the same old arguments of the left being akin to fascists with a few added twists comparing our denunciation of fascists as scum to the Nazi's denunciation of the Jews. If this was printed, I wouldn't use it to wipe the dog's arse. I know this is hardly a piece by piece critique of the article but anyone who read's it can tear it apart themselves.

No, that's going too far.

Barry Bonds is a better baseball player than I am and he knows it.

Linus Tovald is a better computer scientist that I am and he knows it.

And so on...through millions and tens of millions of people who are better at stuff than I am, who know more, and who are well aware of their superiority.

There's nothing "fascist" about any of that...until that superiority is transformed into a "right" to exploit me.

Once somebody says that not only do they know more than me or are able to do stuff better than I can, but that their undeniable superiority confers the right to do with me as they wish...then they have crossed over into a fascist view.

People have different abilities, different talents, have acquired different amounts of knowledge, etc.

No one has the "right" to rule!

Saying it's fascist to want to silence fascists is like saying its fascist to want to silence a sex offenders rights activist.

Some people come up with some shite and that is one of them.

I remember when Dave Simpson from the Melody Maker claimed that the anti-fascist band Blaggers ITA were no better than the nazis. Matty from the Blaggers gave Dave Simpson a slap for talking [email protected] :lol:
