The Antifascist Movement

The Antifascist Movement consists of individuals and groups actively opposing fascism, a far-right ideology emphasizing authoritarianism, nationalism, and suppression of dissent. Emerging primarily in the early 20th century in response to the rise of fascist regimes like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, antifascists work to combat hate speech, xenophobia, and oppressive policies through protest, education, and direct action. Their goal is to protect democracy, human rights, and social diversity by challenging those who promote authoritarian and racist ideologies. The movement is diverse, spanning different backgrounds and methods, unified by the commitment to resist fascist movements and ideas.
