Are riots justified ? Should we kick nazis’ asses ?
I was watching some videos like this one :
… and I asked myself : are riots justified ? What other means of action do we have when the system itself is not enough or against us ?
What would I do if I was denied my rights ? What if I had neo nazi parading right in front of my house or having fun in my neighborhood ? ?
Militant anti-fascism is a form of anti-fascism that advocates the use of violence against fascists. Within the anti-fascist movement, the term militant anti-fascism is often used in contrast to liberal anti-fascism.
What do I think about the Antifa movement?
Direct action is political action which happens outside normal political channels via indirect actions such as electing representatives. Direct action is often associated with movements or groups who have little influence over normal political processes. Direct action is a form of political activism that seeks immediate remedy for perceived ills.
What do I think about direct action ?

This is a question that is regularly brought up in Anarchist and non Anarchist circles alike.
When is violence justified? For me, I do believe there is a time and place for violence. Defending one’s person or family from harm, for example. Fighting an oppressive dictatorship is another one. I tend to think of violence s a last resort, and favor education as the main facilitator of change. However, I realize that this isn’t always possible, and sometimes we must literally fight.
I also mildly condone direct action that is non violent towards people, but may cause physical damage to property, or simply scare people. I think it’s a last resort, again, but I also regard it as a wake-up call to those in power. I wrote a controversial post about it some time ago, “Who’s streets? Our streets!” I feel that sometimes our government and the powers that be get a little complacent, realizing that the vast majority of citizens in the US are far more pacifist than not. Every now and again, I think it’s OK to remind them that they are lucky not to be ruling over an angry mob of people.
But that’s just me.
