Looks like they actually did change the headline.
Fascism always requires an enemy. So they are manufacturing them.
Morales just doesn’t know when to quit, huh? Sad that he cares more about his own personal ambitions than the well-being of his country.
I just read some journalists are working on a list of ICE employees. Could be useful for this…
There are certainly examples of movements that went from nonviolent to violent. The Syrian resistance is one such example. In contrast, Maoists in Nepal were able to achieve some political gains by ceasing their war and forming a conventional political party. So there are many possible tactics and I agree with you that they should all be considered and the most effective one chosen for the particular circumstances.
That said, I feel that this selection needs to be strategic and chosen through deliberation with different resistance factions. I don’t really feel there is an effective process for this right now, partly due to excessive animosity between various anti-fascist groups.
PSL sucks but come on is this really the most important take from this situation? Fascist attacks on freedom of speech and freedom of assembly are a threat to everyone, even if you don’t like who they’re targeting.
I think the comparison to Germany is apt, but the solidarity needed to resist this needs to start by setting aside some of these differences for now.
How would you organize content then?
What’s the evidence these are the same people?
Is this really true? I mean they could have ordered his release a lot sooner. I’m glad they did eventually but they really dragged their feet on this one.
The courts need to stop giving so much deference to patently the false and pretextual arguments they present to excuse their blatantly lawless actions.
I agree with what you wrote. We cannot predict precisely from history which tactics will be most effective because each circumstance is unique.
But I just want to debunk this idea that nonviolent resistance can’t work against a violent enemy. It’s simply not true.
Well it’s going to depend on your definition of fascism. If you’re going to go off of self proclaimed fascist governments there are no examples but that’s a tiny number to draw conclusions from and that definition wouldn’t include Trump anyway.
But in terms of overthrowing dictatorships, this has happened many times, and while fascists may be ideologically distinct from other authoritarian regimes, the way they rule and ways they can be defeated are fairly similar.
But for me I’d say Korea in the 80s was a good example of a fascist regime that was stopped nonviolently. Pinochet is another example.

Don’t worry, there won’t be many more like this. They’ll be much hotter.
