@fuckamericanidiot Fascism isn’t physical assault, political violence is a tool used cross spectrum. Fascism is a political doctrine of extremist nationalism and the goal of a Totalitarian Corporate State. Antifa in America tends to be rebellious youth using aggression to deal with groups they deem racist. While I as an anarchist do not believe them to be genuine political anarchists, and are merely more post-left lifestyle anarchists and punks, meaning they use anarchist aesthetics to rebel against authority, they aren’t contradictory. They aren’t part of a political party, they’re not trying to get power in government, and they seem to be remnant of the Occupy Wall Street, with new generation. I highly doubt these kids that spew anti-government rhetoric want political power. Democrats and Republicans are already more authoritarian than Antifa by being actual political organizations and power grabbers.
As for the liberal takeover of sociological conflict theory, which right wingers refer to as “cultural Marxism” while true it is an incomplete social critique focused much on social racial relations, it is an academic school. Find your own schools to oppose that particular academia and may I suggest right wingers stop using Nazi tropes of conspiracy against it, but actual intellectual arguments. Conservative intellectualism is practically dead in mainstream thought. And tapping into Nazi “Cultural Bolshevism” isn’t a serious critique of Conflict Theory. From what I’ve seen post-modernism has increased among conservatives, as evidenced by the behavior of Trump’s administration and his base. A complete distrust to all claimed facts, systems, and institutions. But the neoliberals brought the post-modern conservative reaction on themselves.
The West wasn’t built in white supremacy. While it is arguable due to the historical record it wasn’t the only driving force, however it was an important one and encompassed all European empires. White supremacy was imbedded within Western States as a tool of suppression and population control. It was a Statist propaganda and rule to enforce colonial, imperial, and slaver institutions. Rooted in the West’s history, and ripe for historical scrutiny. But the core bedrock of “western civilization” is it’s basis in progress towards greeter freedoms and individualism. Since it’s roots in Mediterranean Greek culture and so on. As well as “western civilization” being but one part of a larger “global civilization” in which cultural diffusion and conquests among global civilizations have formed the modern world.
