    I just checked out YouTube and many videos with anti-fascists beating up nazis have now been removed by YouTube staff.

    They have also banned the user "afa4life" who uploaded almost all of these videos.

    I guess this is fair, as YouTube terms and conditions clearly says no fight videos, but i also checked out the videos with 50 boneheads beating up one immigrant, and guess what: while anti-fascist videos are being removed, neo-nazi vids are still there.

    If you ask me, this is a decloration of war!

    We need to organize some kind of protest against YouTube! :angry: :banner:

    Demand full and unrestricted freedom of speech on the internet.

    Of course, most anti-fascist campaigners have demanded the exact opposite of this, calling for the government to restrict the free speech rights of far-right groups (under the banner of 'no platform for fascists&#39.

    They see us as a bigger threat, IMO, therefore are less tolerant of pro-leftist media.

    How about Leftube?
    To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

    How about just keep putting up anti-fascist videos?

    If they keep getting deleted, then there is someone on the staff that is an obvious fascist, because there is a lot of videos that get by them most of the time. I found a porn clip the other night on it that was there for over two weeks.

    And what about the banner "free speech ends where my ears begin?" or alternatively, "free speech ends where my right to living in dignity begin"?

    The concept that racists should be given the right to free speech is chauvanistic bullshit and usually comes from the minds of very ignorant and idealistic whites (though there are obvious exceptions -- ignorance isn't limited to white people). While it's easy enough for you to sit there in completely detachment from the realities of racism, you're eventually going to have to realize that people do not have the right to essentially institutionalize hatred and issue passive threats against others on the basis of their skin colour. Would you be okay if a gang of White Supremacists walked into Harlem and started telling every black they saw that they were going to enslave them or hang them from lamp posts? Few (if any) do this; but they spare no effort making it known that they support this happening. The simple fact that these people exist, whether or not there is any direct interaction or confrontation, is enough to put most minorities in a state of perpetual fear, alienation, and depression. Do you support the continuation of this?

    In many cases, there is full and unrestricted free speech on the internet. The problem is that Youtube is a private company and if they don't want these videos on their servers, they don't have to. This isn't a free speech issue, it's a Youtube policy issue.

    Yeah, the no platform for fascists demand is a matter of self-defense (these are people who would murder every leftist, and member of all sorts of nationalities, if they got the chance).

    Calls for "absolute free speech" are ridiculous and amount to liberal demands.

    Of course I would, the WNs would be doing our job for us - in that if they tried that shit they&#39;d soon find themselves swiftly breathing their last.

    Not at all. It comes from the Marxist tradition. Marx, Lenin, Trotsky... all argued in favour of free speech in bourgeois politics - even for reactionary scum.

    Calls for "absolute free speech" are ridiculous and amount to liberal demands.
    In fact, it is the &#39;no platform&#39; stance which comes from the liberal and social-democratic traditions. In Britain, for example, Unite Against Fascism (the main anti-fascist organisation calling for a &#39;no platform stance&#39 is chaired by London Mayor Ken Livingstone.

    Come to think of it, liberals have often been among the biggest supporters of anti-free speech laws in recent times.
