The Anti-Fascist Movement

The Anti-Fascist Movement consists of groups and individuals who oppose fascism—a political ideology centered on authoritarian control, nationalism, and suppression of dissent. Originating in the early 20th century, particularly in response to rising fascist regimes like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, anti-fascists work to resist and combat these oppressive ideas through activism, education, and sometimes direct action. Their goal is to promote democracy, human rights, and equality, preventing the spread of fascist, racist, and extremist ideologies that threaten social justice and individual freedoms.
