After a recent Berkley rally in which everyone who wasn't Antifa was beaten and harassed, including other liberals who didn't approve of their use of violence, and reporters who refused to follow their orders to stop filming in a public place, liberals are now Ramsey Snow tied to a chair being encircled by starved dogs.

All antifa does is create the best advertising possible for Republicans running for election next year.

The problem is that we don't count as 'the left' at the moment because of the concerted (although not necessarily deliberate) effort to make being left or right wing about how loudly you agree or disagree with their representatives, as opposed to what policies you support. It doesn't matter if you are opposed to antifa because their behaviour is detrimental to the left, because voicing concerns about antifa is 'attacking the left'.

This is basically why I consider "left" and "right" to be largely meaningless now.

Is it good?

He wrote lots of shit. I've read dribs and drabs of it.

I know he's considered a progenitor of fascism, but I'm not sure how accurate that even is.

It's always odd to read things written from a theoretical basis before something was actually tried, and then comparing what's in them to what actually happened, and whether that actually indicates what was written was just wrong, or whether what was tried was not what was being discussed.

He also had some fairly serious issues with women, as in near-incel levels of hatred.

Also there's the whole working for the Nazis thing. And unlike, say, Martin Heidegger, that's actually directly connected to his philosophy. (Although there are people who disagree with that, too.)
