Anti-
fascism is a political movement in opposition to
fascist ideologies, groups and individuals. Beginning in European countries in the 1920s, it was at its most significant during World
War II, where the
nazis and
fascists were opposed to dozens of
resistance movements worldwide. Anti-
fascism has been an element of movements across the political spectrum and holding many
different political positions such as
anarchism,
communism,
anti-capitalism, republicanism, social
democracy,
socialism, and
syndicalism.
After World
War II, the
anti-fascist movement continued to be active in places where organized
fascism continued or re-emerged. There was a resurgence of
Antifa in
Germany… Read more in the 1980s, as a response to the invasion of the
punk scene by neo-
Nazis. This influenced the
Antifa movement in the
United States in the late 1980s and 1990s, which was similarly carried by punks. In the 21st century, this greatly increased in prominence as a response to the resurgence of the
radical right, especially after the
election of
Donald Trump.
