The original Antifa

An idiotic Youtube blowhard called Paul Joseph Watson once did a Tweet showing a picture of Antifa and commented that 'George Orwell would be turning in his grave!'

As loads of people pointed out to him, Orwell was more Antifa than Antifa. He volunteered to fight for the international brigades in the Spanish Civil War, and almost died doing so.

If anyone here thinks that the alt-lite YouTubers wouldn't have supported General Franco had they been around at the time, they are kidding themselves.

@Burnley123 Honestly, these people are thick as pig shit. Like the EDL "protecting" statues of Churchill, then fighting the police, the irony.

@JAYS21 I don't think you really understand the terminology you're using.

Thank you. The original anti-fascists fought against Hitler.
That would imply that being against anti-fascism is [b]pro-fascism[/b]. And pro-Hitler ?
@WorldlyWoes So according to our president if you鈥檙e against fascism you鈥檙e a terrorist.

@bijouxbroussard Your president, haha. Although, we have Boris Johnson here, effectively Trump-lite.

Well, he deemed the antifascist movement a terrorist organisation, which is exactly what a fascist would do.

@WorldlyWoes I think Antifa conspiracies will probably come to the UK. Saying you are against Black Lives Matter just looks bad so they find a way to make it scarier sounding.
