Who is most wrong: people who think you can defeat fascism with appeasement or people who think you can fight it by throwing stones at cops?

The former never works, the latter does nothing and becomes suicidal as soon as police are let loose and start shooting, which they will.

If you want to fight fascists, either kick them out of office, destroy their revenue... or kill them.
No other method is proven to work.

If you're squeamish about those methods (can't blame you), either invent something completely new or don't fight fascists. That simple.

Telling young kids to risk their lives in clashes with police and neo-nazis for no clear gain is not just asinine, but morally bankrupt.

If you want an outcome that isn't fascism, stop voting for shitty neoliberals and other banksters, and come up with a better way.

Every year of Obama, Hollande, Merkel et al gives birth to millions of fascists.
I'm serious.

The fascist needs the banker, the neoliberal, the smooth-talking hypocrite and the drooling neocon moron.
They are his/her path to power.

If you think more of the status quo will save you from fascism, you are deluding yourself.
At best, you are pushing it on your kids.

What, then, might work?
The dissolution of the state, the development of exceptionally cheap power & other essential tech-for-life.

*Actual* free public services, *actual* improvements in quality of life, *actual* free time which our technology allows for.

If you can't offer an alternative better than "millions live in abject poverty while we lie about it with pretty statistics", you're done.
