ABSTRACT
This chapter locates the radical manifestations of anti-fascism among activists who both reject the ballot box effort to outvote fascism, and disdain state intervention, knowing that repression of fascists will invariably extend to their militant opponents. Radical anti-fascists’ primary political space is on the viciously contested streets of their towns and cities, but while their principal concern is to physically smash fascist mobilisation, they also recognise the need to organise within their communities and to counter racism with class-based arguments. Militant anti-fascism therefore involves an openness to cooperation with people whose politics may not be the same, but to whom the threat of fascism is no less dangerous.
