Halifax youth use force against white supremacist

[Comrade Phil]

HALIFAX - Dozens of Halifax protesters on Tuesday stopped a controversial speech from American journalist Jared Taylor, who describes himself as a ''race realist.''

Taylor has said he supports the idea of racial segregation, arguing mixing different races leads to tension.

But before he could deliver his speech - Racial Diversity: North America's Strength or Weakness at Halifax's Lord Nelson Hotel - he was shouted down.

''Get out of town, you're a racist and a Nazi,'' some of the protesters yelled.

''There is no difference between a white separatist and a white supremacist,'' another shouted.

Only the activists and journalists were in attendance, and the protesters - who numbered about 30 - intensified their verbal barrage anytime Taylor tried to talk.

''Hate is dangerous,'' yelled one woman while those around her banged pots.

Eventually, some people decided to forcibly remove Taylor from the small conference room. They tore up copies of Taylor's magazine, American Renaissance, which he had brought for distribution, and several protesters formed a human fence, pushing him out of the room.

At the request of hotel security, Halifax Regional Police arrived and broke up the crowd of protesters.

One man said the hotel was not aware of the contents of Taylor's speech, as the room had been booked under a different name.

When asked what he thought about the crowds' reaction, Taylor said he hadn't anticipated such a reception.

''If what I have to say is either wrong or loathsome, it should be very easy to refute.''

One man at the protest, who would not give his name but said he was the director of an Atlantic Canada Jewish organization, said the best way to deal with someone such as Taylor was not to listen.

''This guy is a hate monger,'' he said. ''Ignore him.''

Not exactly earth shattering news, but I was quite impressed when I saw it on the news this evening. The fucker was quite literally thrown out the door. I figured I'd share this to show that even here in the Maritimes, there are many individuals willing to use force against the racists. Unfortunately, Taylor has recieved considerable media buzz, where he has done nothing but promote his hatred. Still, these protesters should be praised for their valiant actions.

What? and turn him into a martyr for other Nazis?

[An archist]

indeed, this is a good action, they got him out of there and didn't give a reason to be called 'violent hooligans' or the like.
Way to go Halifax

They probably would have, but the cops came shortly after they got near him.

They did push him out the door, and basically shut the meeting down.

beating the shit out of him is letting him off to easily.

I couldn't make it that night, I had to work....

mixing 'races' doesn't lead to tension, is leads to genetically diverse and therefore superior offspring :P

[Kropotkin Has a Posse]

I think the best way to stop racists is to allow them to speak. It's when they make themselves out to be oppressed and downtrodden that people like them.

And according to a study by (among others) my professor in political sciences, it even decreases racism At least in Europe that's true.

Damn right, for the same reason the use of swastikas shouldn't be forbidden, no-one is going to take someone wearing nazi-symbols seriously.

Urgh... just, no. "No platform for fascism", period. By that, I don't mean that father bourgeois state should ban them out of fear for "extremism" or "terrorism"(you might well be next, after all&#33, but I certainly don't oppose direct action of the kind that kept this Taylor motherfucker out of Halifax.

Letting him speak may give daddy bourgeois new scapegoats of respression

I agree, and like I said, I certainly do believe that fascists should be denied their platform. But I do NOT believe that this should be executed by bourgeois parties voting on these issues in parliaments, from way above, pointing the finger like a bunch of preachers. Matter of fact, I recall hearing at the Marxist University in Antwerp that this was the same reason why the PVDA/PTB chose not to call on the bourgeois state to illegalise the Vlaams Belang, and if so, I can certainly understand their point of view:

communists should oppose fascism by organizing the community against it, not by begging the bourgeois state to silence them, especially not when that means giving them an argument of legal or even precedence nature to do the same to you, perhaps even in collaboration with the nominally illegal fascists utilized as shock troopers, once they become endangered by the chance of proletarian revolution.

Mixing human sub-races creates more biological resistance and decreases the chance of inbreeding. Thus its even naturally eugenic , try to beat that supremists.

Exactly, this is also what happening now in Poland en the Czech Republic
