Mussolini originally gained power by mirroring traditional anarchist "propaganda of the act" tactics. He was an Marxist-lenninist before transitioning. So many of the tactics by antifa and on the ground fascist groups can be similar.

You make a reasonable point that he learned some of his strategies from leftist groups, but you should remember that Antifa is not necessarily anarchists or Marxist/ Leninists, and while there is overlap they are different and their goals are different. It really makes no sense

to call Antifa authoritarian or fascist. To say they sometimes will use some similar tactics is accurate- but also can be misleading. Their similarities are often exaggerated and their differences minimized, ultimately creating a false narrative.

Can't really argue that...while there is no way to get a census it certainly seems that way. I still would argue against calling them fascist, tho.

To be honest Chrissy if I thought that violent opposition was the best way to counter fascists, Id have no problem with it. But like scratching an itchy rash, I fear it will only make it spread faster.

You present a convincing argument, backed by studies. I honestly have no counter for it. Its counter-intuitive, but that doesn't make it wrong.
