Crazy that the original post said nothing about what antifascists do or don’t do but people insist on projecting.
“Fascists aren’t gaining power. Antifascists are making a comeback”
The first sentence is necessary (but not sufficient) for beating fascism; the second is a statement of momentum.
Antifascism has existed as long as fascism, well before any guns were fired or wars were fought. It encompasses many different approaches to opposing fascism and isn’t even strictly a left-wing position (revolutionary vs counter revolutionary).
If you think the only viable playbook to beat fascism is revolutionary accelerationism, that’s a logical stance to take. But it makes no sense to be upset when other people use the term differently.
