(I'm writing an article with intent on being pro antifa propagnada. I'm looking for general criticism and perhaps some accuracy checking. Thanks! Also, if you have any suggestions on what I can add, please tell)
There is a war going on in Europe
It's not a traditional war with guns and tanks but its a war all the same.
Its a war between antifa and neo nazi fascists.
Because of the London Bombings and the rising immigration from muslim countries, people are beginning to fear both terrorist attacks and the threat of job loss. Because of this, Fascist parties like the British National Party are beginning to flex their muscles, with promises of security and the closing of borders, for the purpose of gaining political capital.
While the BNP and other such parties throughout Europe deny sanctioning any sort of attacks on immigrants, it is well known that neo nazi fascists who are members of these parties, go around merrily beating and murdering immigrants. What have these governments done? Nothing.
However, there are some people who are taking a stand. A group of anti fascists known as Antifa have come from nowhere and are out there reclaiming the streets from nazis. They are a militant organization of anarchists and radicals, dedicated to defeating fascism here and now.
And you know what? Their tactics work.
In Britian during the 80's when these tactics were used by Anti Fascist Action, they did so well that hardly any nazi or fascist was able to organize. In Greece, no nazi will dare show his face for fear of a sound beating from the anarchists there. Despite how you may feel about violence, these tactics work.
However, the nazis are fighting back. Recently, a russian antifa member Timur Kacharav was stabbed to death by neo nazis. Another russian antifa member, Aleksandr “Shtopor” Ryukhin, was murdered by neo nazis whom was simply targeted because he was attending a punk show which happened to have many antifa members in it. In addition, anti fascists Dan and Spit, have been kidnapped and executed by neo nazis.
These people are fully aware of what they are doing. They are out on the streets making the places safer for minorities and immigrants. They are doing what the government will not do--take a stand against neo nazis.
They need your support! The fact that hardly anyone is aware of antifas existance is an injustice on those that have sacrificed their lives for the cause. Spread the word about antifa. Join in the fight against fascists and neo nazis. Just remember to always honor those that have died.
