In a sense, this is really stupid but its also Orwellian. There are big efforts from lots of people to smear the radical left (and sometimes the moderate left) as fascists. The bullshit Hitler = socialist thing is of course part of this too.
If the population (or a section of it) believes the rad left is authoritarian and threatening then this justifies police brutality or perhaps even militia violence agaunst protesters.
Ironically, the f word is being used to justify the creeping fascism of the US government and the increasing right wing radicalisation of a section of Trump's base.
In a world where the antifascists are seen as the fascists, what are we likely to end up with?
