The Politics of Anti-Fascism

The politics of anti-fascism revolve around opposition to fascist ideologies and movements, which emphasize authoritarianism, nationalism, and often racism. Anti-fascists seek to promote democracy, social justice, and equality. This movement varies widely, including activists, scholars, and political groups who use various methods, from protests to education, to combat fascism. The term "antifa," short for anti-fascist, represents a more organized response, sometimes criticized for its militant tactics. Ultimately, anti-fascism represents a broader commitment to safeguard democratic values and prevent the rise of oppressive regimes that threaten individual and collective rights.
