“One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice.” – Plato, Crito
Dutch trains now run entirely on wind energy. The wind powers 5,500 trips per day, enabling 600,000 daily train passengers to commute without any emissions. Over the course of an hour, a single windmill can power a train for 120 miles.
Hello, friend, I'm new to the movement and I was wondering if you could recommend any specific antifa readings? Thank you!
Sure! Here’s some of the books I‘ve read on it.
These are mostly first-hand accounts from UK antifascists:
No Retreat: The Secret War Between Britain’s Anti-Fascists and the Far Right by Dave Hann, Steve TitzeyBeating the Fascists: The Untold Story of Anti-Fascist Action by Sean Birchall
Bash the Fash: Anti-Fascist Recollections 1984-93 by K. Bullstreet
Some books about older antifascist struggles:
Homage to Catalonia by George OrwellThe Ghetto Fights by Marek Edelman
Also, I have Militant Anti-Fascism: A Hundred Years of Resistance, which looks more like an international overview, but I haven’t read it yet.
There were also some good articles online about antifa recently but I can’t find them now :/ Any followers care to add any links?
Here is a good article by Manchester antifascists:
Antifascism is more than ‘Writing and Fighting’“You are just as bad as They are” is a good article on antifascism and especially on the arguments used against militant antifascism and the use of violence in confronting fascism.
