    It sucks cause Julien, the guy on the right, is now at pro-Israel protests in Paris.

      That’s a shame. Luckily there is a very active antifa movement in France right now, who are keeping the OG spirit of the Red Warriors alive.

        I have it on good authority, but from a friend who heard it from friends or others. But I think it’s still a trustable source because it’s not super difficult to prove, even if it’s hearsay lol

        there’s also some interviews of Red Warriors on youtube though in French, including Julien. He seemed more like an anarchist than a commuinist, he said he tried to join PCF but they wanted to give him reading and courses and he didn’t care much for it.

      And I suppose that the Allied soldiers were just the Wehrmacht but under a different flag too by your logic?

      Paradox of tolerance… or paradox of intolerance? Point is appeasement doesn’t work and at the end of the day you have to be intolerant of the intolerant.

      Like you don’t even understand where the Red Warriors (and other antifascists in France) even came from, you look like an absolute fool right now, bumbling around in the dark and hitting furniture every few steps, meanwhile people watch on you with their flashlights. That’s how you look.

      Fascists used to (they still do, but they used to as well) co-opt everything. They started coming into punk shows which these bands of antifa activists used to go to, and started polluting them with their fascist crap. Then when people complained, the fascists would jump them.

      There’s a documentary around where ex red warriors explain how they fought against fascists, they used to drive around Paris with baseball bats and other weapons and jump random people or antifascists. They wore jewellery that had edges to inflict damage on a punch. Some of them actually illegally carried guns on them.

      I’m still talking about the fascists. What antifascists such as the red warriors did was to finally say enough is enough, we don’t want fascists making people scared to go to their shows and have fun, so they organised into their own gang and gave the fascists a taste of their own medicine. And it worked, fascists left the Parisian punk scene.

      By all means be my guest and debate the fascists and Nazis who want to eradicate entire races while I will try other ways to defend myself
