I was browsing some news sources and a lot of them have started calling the alt-right fascists, white supremacists, racists, homophobic, transphobic, islamapohobic, yada yada yada and I suddenly had a question that I thought I would share with you guys.
I would that some of you think we're on the verge of watching the fall of the alt-right and Anti-Fascism (whether you like it or not) is playing some kind of role in that fall. Would the fall of the Alt-Right and the continued push from ANTIFA popularize Anti-Fascist movements?
If that is the case, if we see a higher influx of "Anti-Fascists", could it be possible that WE (reddit left, Holla Forums, GETchan, and everyone else) could capitalize and try to become militant towards the state?
I haven't really put a lot of thought into it and I feel like there are a lot of holes in my thinking. I'm just reacting off of what I've seen recently. Any feedback is appreciated.

Yes. You should join antifa and try to make them more revolutionary. Also you will meet people willing to get themselves into trouble for the left, which any revolution will require.
Benjamin Powell
how retarded are you? go back to Holla Forums
Charles Perry
Nice non-argument, Holla Forums.

Usually I hate on American Antifa, but their performance at Charlottesville really was incredible.
I've seen people saying very left wing stuff who I would never in a million years have guessed would say those things. And you've got Cornel West on CNN openly praising anarchists for saving his life. Really great stuff; the counter-protesters were genuine heroes.

You think this is the start of something more? Or should I just go back to my cave and keep being an Anti-Civ retard?

In all likelyhood i've been here way longer than you. In the past this place was more pro antifa. It wasn't fully pro, but the balance has shifted and thats mostly because of weak burger students pretending to be antifa when in most places that is generally not who they are made up of
Jonathan James
I'll cautiously say yes.
I think this surge in white nationalist activism is going to facilitate a far larger surge in anti-fascist activism, which is a great recruiting ground for radical ideas.

i guess at this point in time it's all up in the air and anybody can guess anything at this point.
Wouldn't that be awesome? I feel like this might just be another "Anarcho-Punk" phase in the country where nothing will really happen and perhaps it will be a whole bunch of edgy kids calling themselves anarchists.
Although I have not read as much as some of you guys, I feel that we as a collective whole should support the ACT of Anarchy. Breaking banks, pushing over trashcans and causing a havoc. With an influx in "radicals", we would probably get an increase in "radicools" and if we try to force theory down their mouths, they'll be turned off.
