It's depressing.
The left will brand anyone now who doesn't agree with them as Nazis. It's part of their strategy.
I think these people are scum, but they have a right to have a rally. Our constitution guarantees that freedom.
And yes, both sides incited violence. Antifa had a permit to rally in a different place, for a reason. They have every right to protest. They had no right to interact with the rally physically.
Whoever ordered the police to stand down has some splainin' to do.
And the gentlemen in the picture fought for those freedoms for the world.

I DO NOT agree with the white supremacists. But, they have the same first amendment right as I or you.
If we deny anyone that right we have begun the process of denying it for us all.

KKK is also leftist. There is absolutely nothing in the Republican Party platform is supports the KKK, neo-NAZIs, or other white power groups.

Listening to Americans defending the Klan and the Nazi's is disgusting. I'll see your Hillary and bet one Prescott Bush, who was the after of one president and grandpa of another. This is stupid, when the two party's call each other names, one of them remains in power. The rich continue to rule.

The Klan is ultra right wing. You don't understand the left-right distinction, comparable to people who think the NSDAP was a left-wing party because it includes "Socialist" in its name. If you had actually read the Nazi documents, you would understand that National Socialism exalts society over individuals, which is not the same kind of socialism that Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin promoted.

No one is defending nazis. We are only defending their freedom of speech. I am sure we can all agree that nazis are horrible people. Just because they deserve to get their asses beaten doesn't make it right to do so.

"National Socialism exalts society over the individuals", is leftist. The Right-Wing believes in individual liberty, civil rights, and a less intrusive Gov't. Libertarians are Ultra Right Wing, with Anarchist at the extreme right-wing spectrum.
Democratic Party members created the KKK and other White Power groups. One of it's main goals was to overthrow the Republican Party influence in the South. KKK despises Catholics, Jews, and other non-Protestant religions. They oppose the various Civil Rights Laws.
Antifas are just malcontents and their beliefs make no sense. The claim to be a decentralized militant left-wing anti-fascist movement. But, fascism is dictatorial socialism and leftist. Antifas are communist, which is leftist.
The media is doing all it can to mislabel Pres. Trump's supporters as anti-American. This is truly fake news. The media is confusing definitions and politics to stoke opposition to the President's views. First the Pres. was racist, then a Russian colluder, now he is a white supremacist. Media will start recycling slurs. Media is spending a majority of recent news coverage over the death of one woman. Barely nothing on the two air policemen's death, or the numerous violent deaths in Chicago or other big cities. Or the deaths of brave soldiers in the Middle East. Why, because they want to destroy Pres. Trump by any means necessary.

Way to take WW2 veterans and try to bend it to make it mean something else.
Again, Nazis were called the National SOCIALIST party. ( Left, in case you’re not aware. ) Goid troll, bad job on bringing honored vets in on an argument.

fascism
/ˈfæʃɪzəm/
noun (sometimes capital)
1.
any ideology or movement inspired by Italian Fascism, such as German National Socialism; any right-wing nationalist ideology or movement with an authoritarian and hierarchical structure that is fundamentally opposed to democracy and liberalism
2.
any ideology, movement, programme, tendency, etc, that may be characterized as right-wing, chauvinist, authoritarian, etc
3.
prejudice in relation to the subject specified: body fascism
Word Origin
C20: from Italian fascismo, from fascio political group, from Latin fascis bundle; see fasces
Funny how they describe it as "right wing". This is straight from the dictionary definition..."fundamentally opposed to democracy"....that sounds WAY more Left wing to me.

SSG (Join to see) - It's left-wing by how we tend to use left-wing in the U.S. It's right-wing by how the term right-wing tends to be used in the rest of the world. The dictionary definitions were probably made with this political compass, or one similar to it, in mind. http://www.politicalcompass.org
