Oh wow this is some abysmal nonsense. One of Chomsky's/Mr Nobody's arguments: "let's not violently oppose fascists/Nazis because they're more violent, so we can't win." Is that necessarily true even if it's historically true? Antifascists are innately less capable of violence? Really? You want to make that argument and not be laughed at?

Then Mr Nobody starts talking about moral high-ground... That argument is so profoundly broken it's not even worth going into in any detail. Suffice to say that there is no loss of moral high-ground if your stated goal is to stop fascists without any ideological blinkers. Once you remove the blinkers, using violence is a tool in the overall struggle that involves argument, propaganda, organisation, etc. The leader of the free world does not hesitate for a moment to take the gloves off, nor does any other state or proto-state terrorist organisation. When you're on the side of truth, why then must you be timid?

I stopped listening at that point.

And Chomsky! flies his hypocritical colours at full mast in those comments. So the Spanish anti-fascists/anarchists (that he loves so dearly) were fighting the good fight but Antifa and Redneck Revolt are mere tools of the Neo-Nazis? The first time the US left has displayed some chutzpah in years and he's spouting slander!

Those comments are so woefully off that I wonder if he's just been massively taken out of context or something.
