"Knee jerk anti fascism is playing into the hands of the EDL and BNP by misunderstanding the nature of these reactionary groups and then using the wrong tactics to deal with the issues they raise.

Knee jerk anti-fascism i think is typified by UAF / lancasteruaf / and by many posters on indymedia

instead of trying to understand social movements of the right it decides anything it does not understand of the right is fascist and neo nazi ( they use the word interchangably) . worse they fail to see changes in fascism ( in particularly the rise of ‘post fascism’ in Italy and France) and try to box it all into some 1930s model of fascism. This is an error of disasterous proportions as the parctice that flows from this mistaken theory is then, and it has been shown to be, a total failure that see both the BNP and EDL expanding at a fast rate in working class and lower middle class communities..." etc

Indymedia seems to have become a magnet for every idiot who opposes all the existing anti-fascist groups around.
