Today Raqqa was officially liberated by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The capital of the religious fascists, Daesh/ISIS is free and their dreams of Caliphate lie in ruins.

Antifascists are taking direct action against religious fascists, fighting to clear Raqqa of Daesh/ISIS scum, meanwhile the UK government is making deals worth billions with the biggest supporter of jihadism worldwide, Saudi Arabia.

On the wave of FLA marching against terrorism and (vaguely defined) extremism, a quick reminder about some people that tackle Islamic fundamentalist terror face-to-face , risking their lives in a fight against Daesh/ISIS in Syria. This is antifascism in action.

In late 2015 an activist with the Anti-Fascist Network went to Rojava (the liberated Kurdish area in northern Syria) to join the Kurdish fight for self-determination and against ISIS. They returned…

The Football Lads Alliance held their second march in central London today. Estimates of attendance range from 5 to 20,000.

No official counter-mobilisation was called, but a small group of Brighton anti-fascists traveled up to take a look. We ended up with Stand up to Racism’s small counter protest on Downing St. This was deliberately intended to be low key and non antagonistic, concentrating on handing out leaflets, asking the FLA to distance themselves from fascist te...ndencies.

Like the EDL in its opening days, the FLA doesn't present itself as racist or islamaphobic and attempts a ‘common sense’ facade. However attending the march there were members of The Pie and Mash Squad, the Southeast Alliance, the EDLs Tommy Robinson with Rebel Media, the London Forum lot, and a lot of known Nazi, Fascist or Ultra-Nationalist faces.

The response of the FLA crowd to the leafleting was constant intimidation of the people from Stand Up to Racism, throwing stuff, shouting at them, at times making token efforts to push through police lines

There is no doubt that many of the FLA are not racists or fascists but there are many fascists turning up, who see the organisation as a recruiting ground and are trying to steer the direction of the FLA and using it as a platform to bolster their own movements.

Below you can see Spanish Fascists mobilising in Madrid. Solidarity with those in Catalonia fighting for self determination, and the left across Spain. Always against police violence, always antifascist.

'Make no mistake, these neo-Nazis and white supremacists are serious. The recent murders in Portland and Charlottesville demonstrate that. In Europe, different generations of young antifascists committed to preventing acts of violence to vulnerable populations, resurface from time to time. I feel comforted by the fact that these young antifascists exist here in America, too.''

More than 70 years after hiding in a Berlin cellar, I’m faced once again with neo-Nazis spewing and spreading their hate and beliefs around white supremacy.
