Well, thank goodness almost no one reads the Daily Beast. There will probably be more people reading this thread than the article at the actual site.

The issue isn’t the very few Nazis, KKK, or ultra-right nationalists in the U.S. The core issue is that all of WHITE America, with all of its incredible achievements, has been under constant assault for at least one generation and NOBODY speaks up to defend what white people have accomplished. White people are now so cowed that they won’t even defend themselves against these horrible onslaughts (similar to how the US won’t defend itself against the moslem horde assaulting us today).

After 8 years of Obama racism and division, plus the coming years of this ginned up communist-led “antifa” horse crap, people are finally waking up to the fact that whites have a lot of enemies that want them dead. It’s long past time for white people to speak up proudly about their centuries of accomplishments (such as Western Civilization) and put these destroyers in their place. Do NOT let our enemies make the preposterous and farcical claim that all whites are virulent racists and that only only black and brown people are deserving of life in the US.

Because it helps illustrate that Nazi’s are leftist/socialists too, and have NOTHING to do with the “right”.

Don’t be silly. Lefties are the greatest set of mass murders in recorded history. Even excluding the Nazis. Commies murdered upwards of 100 million people and enslaved many more tens of millions. Leftists need to he stamped out wherever they are found.

Again, the false claim that Nazis are/were on the right.

They were definitely leftists. They described themselves as leftists, and often converted communists to Nazis.

Calling Nazis “far right” is a ruse to give the false choice of National Socialists vs. International Socialists.

Limited government is not spoken of.

Any article that refuses to investigate the funding and background of both groups of protestors is totally useless.

Much more to the Antifa story. The thugs are being paid, the police are being ordered to stand down, and there are people on the ground directing the violence. It is a conspiracy to violate and intimidate the peaceful protesters who are definitely not nazis. The FBI should arrest the thugs who assault protesters since they are violating their civil rights, arrest the on site police commander who prevents his officers from making arrests even when felonies are being committed in their presence, and eventually arrest those who pay the thugs and gave the orders to the police to stand down.If Sessions simply enforces civil rights laws, Antifa and their sponsors will go to jail.

This has little if anything to do with a relative handful of neo-Nazi and KKK jerks, and 99.99% to do with a communist revolution.

For all you’d want to know about today’s revolutionary communist/anarchist protest groups and then-some, check out my FR Home page, at:

Even if the Antifa people read this they wouldn’t pay attention. They are deranged.

The presidency of Donald Trump has been a chaotic fiasco by any reasonable metric, and the instability of the commander-in-chief has made us all a bit edgier than usual.


OK, that part made me laugh. :-)

It bears repeating that unlike neo-Nazis, neo-antifa haven’t killed anyone, and according to a study by Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute, the levels of deadly violence committed by the far-right dwarfs their left-wing counterparts by a factor of 10 over the past 25 years.

This statement is only true in La-La-Land where people believe that Neo-Nazis are a part of the "far-right".

But in REALITY, right here in Realsville, U.S.A., both of these groups, the Neo-Nazis and the Anti-First Amendment Fascists called antifa, are rival siblings in the alt-left family composed of the incredibly stupid and the easily manipulated!!

The writer chooses to ignore the neo-Nazi essence of Antifa, taking their pretenses at face value. He further ignores the actual issue that drew both groups to Jefferson country; where Antifa was there to defend the trashing of Virginia's libertarian heritage.

The Nazis--the original variety--were all for a monolithic new order; all for enforced uniformity of thought; the absolute opposite of Jeffersonian values; the opposite of the Jeffersonian freedom to think for oneself, so important in the founding of the University of Virginia; the freedom of each to pursue happiness according to his or her own lights.

Antifa--as George Soros--represents a Compulsion For Uniformity; an in that compulsion driven pursuit, adopts the thuggery that won the streets of German cities, before the Nazis behind that thuggery came to power.

The number of “Nazis” in the world is vanishingly small. (No, leftists, pro-Confederates are not Nazis. Neither are Trump supporters. Phooey, anyway!)

Meanwhile, on the alt-left, AntiFa side:

These miscreants have revealed their ugly, anti-American face, for the whole world to see!!!!

Antifa is just Occupy Wall Street with a more marketable name. Their goal is the destruction of capitalism and capitalists. And they will falsely label all of their targets as Fascists and Nazis in order to feed their goal. Of course, the drone white liberals have latched on to them because they are fascists themselves and believe in “any means necessary” to further progressivism and cultural Marxism.

“To be very clear, antifa and neo-Nazis do not reside on the same moral plane; white supremacists are demonstrably worse in both word and deed.”

When all your opinions are based on fake news, are they fake opinions?

Actually, they are birds of a feather.

Author states this as true without any logical argument.

Even Chomsky Agrees. It may feel good, and they may well deserve it, but violence against neo-Nazis only helps sustain a dynamic at which the Nazis will prevail.

The "Nazis" will prevail, eh? Presumably that means "Trump supporters"? Because everyone knows there aren't enough true "Nazis" in the country to prevail at anything.

It's incredible how Media outlets can inject such abject, clumsy propaganda into a piece, starting with the very first sentence—if not the headline itself.

Noam Chomsky is right—in a certain narrow sense—but he's also dead wrong on a wider level. He's smearing "the Right"—meaning "all Trump supporters", of course, in his smug and tidy Leftist mind—by disingenuously and falsely conflating them with "Nazis" and "White Supremacists".

Chomsky frequently pulls stunts like this.

For example: I recall Chomsky commenting on gun control once, and saying words to the effect of: "Its clear that the Constitution doesn't grant any individual the right to own a gun."

Now, that is essentially true—in the sense that the Constitution doesn't grant rights at all, but simply recognizes them. But that's not how Chomsky meant it, of course. It is categorically untrue in the propagandist sense in which he framed his statement—which was as if to imply that government could actually grant "the right to own a gun" in the first place—which is patently false.

Every educated American should be well aware of the fact that government simply recognizes Rights (or not)—but it doesn't grant them. Hence, Chomsky was engaging in subtle propaganda.

For someone who wrote about and decried propaganda in American media during the Vietnam War era—Chomsky's book Manufacturing Consent purports to describe a propaganda model that can function powerfully within the framework of an ostensible "Free Press", although it is presented with his typical extreme Leftist bias—Chomsky certainly isn't averse to engaging in his own propaganda techniques himself. Indeed, he's one of the most skilled propagandists that has ever emerged from the Left.

As we all know, even a broken clock is right twice a day, and that's my general opinion of Chomsky and his radical, outside-the-mainstream ilk...
