On Sunday, the 4th of October, 1936, The British Union of Fascists lead by Oswald Mosley marched through the East End of London, then the home of the large majority of London's Jewish Population. The Met Police, expecting violence, escorted the 3,000 fascists with over 6,000 policemen, many of them mounted on horseback, as well as multiple vans and a spotter plane.
The largely working class locals of the East End took issue with this, and the counter-protestors (mostly anti-fascists, socialists, communists, trade unionists, and Jews, as well as locals of all stripes) overwhelmed the fascists and policemen by 10-to-1, fielding over 100,000 people (this is a conservative number).
The fascists marched in four columns, and all of them met resistance, but the majority of the action took place on Cable Street, a narrow road that the counter-protestors barricaded at multiple points.
The resulting fray went down in history as the Battle of Cable Street, and it's been the setting of lots of great storytelling since.
Notable in most stories of the Battle of Cable Street is the use of the slogan "They Shall Not Pass," or "No Pasaran," which remain anti-fascist rallying cries to this day.
I know the political horseshoe isn’t something new but it’s quite something to see how each end even talks using the same terms: “axis of exil” referring to washington, brussels, and tel-aviv (how they didn’t bat an eye at adopting it unironically from george bush underlines how insane it is); “zionist,” (regardless of their actual feelings toward jews) “globalist,” and “elites” as snarl words; an alarming insistence on assigning the origin of the world’s ills to a shadowy cabal (regardless if they’re antisemitic the word still fits) controlling everything behind the scenes; larp fantasies of becoming a foot soldier for their cause and enacting righteous violence against villains who deserve no compassion, only the guillotine
I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.
Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,
protect your house,
give you a job,
clean up the neighbourhood,
remind you of how great you once were,
clear out the venal and the corrupt,
remove anything you feel is unlike you...
It doesn't walk in saying,
"Our programme means militias, mass imprisonments, transportations, war and persecution."
People who still support “Israel” at this point are fascist genocidal neo-Nazis. They are the antisemitic people, not the folks who are against genocide. I hope they are exposed for the psychos they are and these people jam their pinky toes on wooden furniture for the rest of their existence.
May their pillows be hot, their fan be unplugged, a dog shits in their shoes, and that they become allergic to their favorite food.
Its gotten to the point where 'big strong men' need to protect the 'poor vulnerable white women' from the 'evil transes and gays and people of colour' and if this sounds misogynistic its because it is
Could y'all please report that bitch Bob Cactaur and that bitch Csonka Dávid? I'm sick and tired of conservative bitches running around saying fascist shit while trying to play the victim.
