Er, obviously.

Some of your mob have a very proud record in standing up to all forms of fascism (both left and right.)

I just don't see why saying that fascists deserve a good kicking** means one would necessarily support tankies. They deserve a good kicking too.

That's why the Eastern Front in WW2 was ace*. Millions of dead scum on both sides.

*Other than for the civilians, obv.

** And while Ahimsa is obviously what we should all aspire to, unfortunately with many fascists, a good kicking is the only language they understand. cf Kohima and Imphal. As I say, don't mess with the Goddess Kali.

The point is that in a civilised political environment, nobody 'deserves' a good kicking - and that anyone advocating that they do is no better than those for whom they advocate it.

Oh, I agree.

In a civilised environment.

But trying to annex India when we're close to independence isn't civilised. They would have been beastly to the Mahatma, wouldn't play cricket and wouldn't have allowed Congress to build a system based on British parliamentary democracy.

Likewise, bombing Highbury isn't civilised.

This is why fascists - real fascists with tanks and bombs and death camps and stuff - need a good kicking. Not tinpot wannabes like Farrage or Trump.

Obv, I use the term fascist to include tankies. They also need a good kicking. All of them would have executed me for simply being me so fück the lot of them.

I think you underestimate Trump and Farage. They're not the same as fascism, because they have emerged during a period relative financial security. Bu they can still get up to a lot of mischief. My old German professor would say that they're comparable to the populists on the 1890s in Europe. They lay the groundwork for what comes after. They plant the seed. And they're pretty sh!tty in their own right. Albeit witty at times.
