    Angry

    Clément Méric, active with 'Action Antifasciste Paris-Banlieue' and the student group 'Solidarity'', Clement was attacked by a group of neo-Nazis in central Paris. He was rushed to hospital and later died of injuries.

    Leaving a clothing store near the Gare Saint-Lazare, Clement was spotted by a group of neo-Nazis. They atacked him with fists, boots and knuckle dusters. Witnesses said it was a horrific and bloody attack.

    Originally from the city of Brest in Brittany in northwestern France, Clement was studying in the Sciences Po.

    "As he was leaving a store in Paris yesterday (5.6.2013), Clément Méric, 18, antifascist and trade-unionist was beaten to death by members of a far right group. He had left the city Brest because he was studying politics in Paris ; and tonight he was a victim of the growing violences of the far right, which has been increasing in the last months. He died tonight at the hospital as a result of his wounds. We wish to express our sympathy and our solidarity to his family and his close friends. His friends and comrades"

    "Breaking" means "happening as we speak." Last night when Psycho posted, it was breaking news...

    Oh, sorry, in that case I misunderstood the meaning of 'breaking'.

    " Calling for a rally Place Saint-Michel on Thursday at 18:30 PG calls the "dissolution of right-wing groups that breed violence." Another rally is planned Thursday at 17h at the scene of the attack, according to page Facebook honoring him."

    Liberal shitholes like reddit have been complaining that the kid was "asking for it" by being part of an anti-fascist organization, and are trying to pin them as being both as bad as each other.

    I guess that makes sense if not for the fact that the far-rightists deserve scorn by their very existence. It's like saying anti-drug activists shouldn't complain when they get retribution from dealers.

    Not to sully the memory of our comrade, but the point they're getting at is valid, though they do it in a crude and disrespectful way.

    If you part of AFA, or in general a militant of the class, you should be conscious of what the enemy will do to you if they have the chance. Especially if you're into anti-fascism.

    Take a look around revleft and see how people here react when a fascist dies...



    La lotta continua, Clement!

    Fuck. You know, I always expect this shit to happen, but every time it does, somehow it still feels like it was unexpected. I can't believe this shit. If the fascists get away with their actions I will be angry beyond belief.

    We just have to remember that this should be a call to action, and that any chance we get we should oppose fascists in some way, be it violent or non-violent, it is our responsibility.

    Solidarity, Clement.

    Seeing as this is seen as acceptable by an admin, from here on out when I have a disagreement with someone I will be asking them to reference this. If you want an explanation of my views, too bad.

    The douche makes a brilliant point. We're all looking at this subjectively...
    He knew the risks, and unfortunately paid the price for his anti fascist activities.

    Segui il tuo corso e lascia dir le genti.

    Socialism resides entirely in the revolutionary negation of the capitalist ENTERPRISE, not in granting the enterprise to the factory workers.

    Some news sources are saying the fascists initially refused to fight, but were goaded into it by Antifa taunts and threats.

    Is there any truth to this?

    How do you want to look objective on this? Since when is it a provocation to go somewhere shopping?

    He would have paid the price for his anti-facist activities if he was somewhere protesting against it, and not if a group comes at him and beats the life out of the guy after he left some clothing store.


    I have enough people hating me for my political opinion but they still sit there next to me.
