Worcester (MA) Library gives Nazis the boot
This came in on one of my newsgroups a few minutes ago:
This prior post gave some of the backstory:
Good work Worcester antifas.
Weren't some folks on revleft earlier complaining about how terrible it was that Nazis were confronted in Worcester, and that it was such a setback for the anti-fascist movement?
Yeah, looks like local antifas know what they're doing more than random people on revleft. Big surprise.
Did anybody else watch that promo? The worst ever! SATURDAY SATURDAY SATURDAY!!!!!
We claim to live and die equal, the way we were born: we want this real equality or death; that’s what we need.
And we’ll have this real equality, at whatever price. Unhappy will be those who stand between it and us! Unhappy will be those who resist a wish so firmly expressed.
The French Revolution was nothing but a precursor of another revolution, one that will be bigger, more solemn, and which will be the last.

No, they weren't. We expressed scepticism as to the effectiveness of the tactics used, and how they were in themselves potentially counter-productive when considered in the long-term. Please do not strawman us.
Also, I'm confused; did the antifa's actions lead to this ban, or was it essentially coincidental? That seems important if the above comments are to be considered in proper context.
My read on it is that the antifas' action led indirectly to the ban, that they caused the Nazis to overreact (with the hilariously bad video among other things) which in turn led to the banning.
i am now not afraid of nazis. they make horrible promo vids.

I know right what was the use for all the explosions, it didn't make any sense.

Given that it seems the protests and demonstrations seem to have been going on since February (see Rocky's fixed link here) and the punch-up we discussed earlier happened in May (see here and here) I'd give a little more credence to the effect of the demos than the brawl.
All in all, though, good on the WPL for banning the scum.

LOL Worcester. Surprised there are any skinheads there at all. It isn't exactly a racially pure city.
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
o the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
The promo reminded me of this: HEY DO YOU WANT TO HAVE WHITE PRIDE?
“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” Charles Bukowski, Factotum
"In our glorious fight for civil rights, we must guard against being fooled by false slogans, as 'right-to-work.' It provides no 'rights' and no 'works.' Its purpose is to destroy labor unions and the freedom of collective bargaining... We demand this fraud be stopped." MLK

Hitch dude.
That video was pretty hysterical I gotta say. Great comedy.

If I saw that out of context, I would have assumed that it was satirical. You know, the Nazis around here must be especially stupid. Last time I checked, Worcester was only about 60% white, and they want to hold a meeting within walking distance of all-black neighborhoods? I would have helped the local Antifa, but alas I was out of town. Oh well, there's always next time.
