Generally, when you display a picture of someone bent over gushing with blood, it is because you want to generate sympathy for this person or a group that they are part of.
Generally yes - but in this context, i think it's quite apparent that that is not the case.[/QUOTE]
Well, then. I guess that leaves us with mentally ill.

Yeah I agree - I find it disgusting. I don't think that it makes you a fascist sympathiser though, it just sort of puts you on their level of thuggery (though obviously a non-fascist can still retain their sense of humanity). Violence should only ever be necessary, not glorious. Violence in general makes me feel sick.
PS
I wasn't clear about that. Revelling in the glory of the pictures is disgusting - fighting with these monsters is OK - I just can't see the comedy in it. We should not sink to their level by glorifying them - we can have so much more dignity by beating them and leaving them. We take this beyond politics when we enjoy taking pictures of our own messy, but important, work.

I HATE the Chinese state, it does more damage to Leftism than Nazism and Fascism combined.
Just to be clear, I wasn't actually accusing anyone on this forum, or anyone for that matter of being a fascist sympathiser. I was just saying that that is one of the two reasons why someone would post a picture of someone kneeling on the ground in a pool of blood, obviously in a lot of pain, and gushing from the head. I stick to my belief that that picture, not the others, necessarily, but definitely that one, should be taken down.

And there's only two reasons you'd be against it: You're a fascist sympathizer or a fucking pussy liberal.
Or you don't like to glorify violence.
Just putting it out there.

"As the world of the spectacle extends its reign it approaches the climax of its offensive, provoking new resistances everywhere. These resistances are very little known precisely because the reigning spectacle is designed to present an omnipresent hypnotic image of unanimous submission. But they do exist and are spreading.", The Bad Days Will End.
"(The) working class exists and struggles in all countries, and has the same enemies in all countries – the police, the army, the unions, nationalism, and the fake ‘socialism’ of the bourgeois left. It shows that the conditions for a worldwide revolution are ripening everywhere today. It shows that workers and revolutionaries are not passive spectators of inter-imperialist conflicts: they have a camp to choose, the camp of the proletarian struggle against all the factions of the bourgeoisie and all imperialisms." -ICC, Nation or Class?
Im not glorifying violence in any way here. Hundreds of demonstrants were probably beaten senseless for nothing at this demonstration. I just think that in these days of police violence, its good to see some justice.
And its not as bad as it looks. Ive readen a news article about this riot, and noone was seriously injured.

Cops kick us when we'r down or sprayed with pepper spray - I think its fair that we take pride in the rare moments where we get a shot in. Plus they get paid to bust our heads open or smack us around!
Of course the RIGHT thing to do is not to support it - but who's morality are we using to judge what is right and what is wrong?
Occupational Hazard.
The Left is an outstretched hand, each finger being a political division amongst itself. The best we can do is slap capitalism in the face, insult it, nothing more.
The worst, we can poke it as individual fingers, doing nothing other than having it laugh at our face.
Close the hand, form a fist, knock the greedy bastard out for the count.

Movies better than pics.
Pay attention to the french resistance tribute.
Epic.

That is total and utter nonesense. I am not against fascists being beaten up - I just find violence sickening and don't like to see it glorified - THAT I am against. The ugly business of beating them up is a necessity - but posting pictures and enjoying it is not. I am not a liberal by any means, but I worry about the state of someone's mind when they enjoy inflicting pain - I know it is on a fascist but still. Like I said, it is necessary but that does not excuse enjoying this. We should beat them up if we have to - but leave it at that, pictures and videos are totally unnecessary and disgusting.
The pictures of the Italian resistance are important though, I will certainly not stand against posting them.

this video i posted is from the nuremberg trials.
It shows videos of the nazi leaders in full glory, during their trial and images of them dead.
It's a real blow to nazis morale, and should be shown in public schools.
We'd hear less about all that superiority crap.
:P
(joking)
But i've seen a documentary on a former hitlerist youth that became an anti-nazi after he saw what they did in concentration camps videos.
I live in a country that faced a military dictatorship and the military were granted amnesty.
As barbarian as it seems, if things like this (musso):

had taken place, a lot of the political scenario would be different today.
Simply because all that aura of power and "untouchability" that they and their supporters have all over the country would vanish.
LOL at the pic of the fat fash RUN FASH RUN !!!

This picture is good. It kind of reminds me of this idea I always had. Get a bunch of really buff Jews, who look obviously Jewish too (Hats, skull caps, beard, etc) and then set them on some Nazi skinhead. Then proceed to take pics.
And when Marx says, 'Hitherto the philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways', what that 'hitherto' means is not a renunciation of theory and that all we need to do is wade in with our fists and there will be no more need for thought. This idea is in fact fascist, and it would be grossly unjust to Marx to impute such views on him.

Lewisham -77, trots vs. nazis. Great victory for the antifa movement.

Where and When are the others from?
Who are the R.F.?
Oh, okey. Lewisham -77, Hyde Park -89 and Waterloo -92 were all great victories for the british antifa-movement, might have confused them.
RF, the Revolutionary Front is a Swedish antifascist and class struggle organisation influenced by Red Action. Many of them are casuals and they have been very effective in their work of ridding the streets of fash.

"How you cling to your purity, young man! How afraid you are to soil your hands! All right, stay pure! What good will it do? Why did you join us? Purity is an idea for a yogi or a monk. You intellectuals and Bourgeois anarchists use it as a pretext for doing nothing. To do nothing, to remain motionless, arms at your sides, wearing kids gloves. Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows. I've plunged them in the filth and blood. But what do you hope? Do you think you'll govern innocently?"-Jean-Paul Sartre
