We also have a group which you can use to discuss antifascism: https://www.facebook.com/groups/edinburghantifascists/
After a period of inactivity, we have resurrected Edinburgh Antifa and
represent the latest iteration of a coordinated Antifascist group in the
Edinburgh and Borders region. We aim to provide a broad front for all autonomous leftists and anti-authoritarians determined to fight fa
scism in all its forms, from the bigotry of the national front to the hatred and terror of N***s like National Action/National Socialist Network, the nationalist thuggery of the pathetic Scottish Defence League, and the menace of the so called “alt-right” and their lackluster memes. We stand against oppression in all of its forms, including (but not
limited to) racism, sexism, ableism & homophobia. We see the fight
against all these forms of intersecting oppression as vital elements in
the struggle to crush the resurgent far right, who pray on the most
vulnerable and marginalized in our society. We stand with the oppressed as partners and allies in the defence of our communities against those that would seek to divide us along racial and gendered lines. We decisively reject the tired and failed liberal and moderate anti-fascism of opportunist groups like Unite against Fascism (UaF), Stand up to Racism (SutR) and the authoritarian entryism of failed left
alternatives such as the Socialist Worker’s Party and their cronies. We
believe that to defeat the far right we must oppose them at all levels
of our society, from the communities, schools and neighbourhoods we live, study and work in, to the streets the fascist menace dares to step foot within. As such, we represent an intersectional, militant &
autonomous grassroots alternative that respects a diversity of tactics
and approaches to defeating fascism in all it’s forms. As such we believe it is not to be
debated, but to be smashed. In order to truly represent the spirit of
antifascist struggle, we must organise ourselves autonomously and
democratically, free from the influence and control of self-interested
political parties and dithering external interests. We stand firmly for
these principles, and we will not retreat or back down. We invite all
like minded groups and individuals to join us in working towards these goals in the spirit of cooperation and solidarity. See you in the streets! In Love, Solidarity & Rage,
Edinburgh Antifa
