Antifa's Brown Shirt Tactics

In the year 1925, the Nazi Storm Detachment, better known as the Brown Shirts, used harassment & boycotts to silence those who disagreed with their views.  In one notorious example, the Brown Shirts urged students to boycott the lectures of Jewish Philosopher Theodor Lessing, an early opponent of the rising Nazi movement.  For nearly a year the Brown Shirts would harass Lessing, shout him down during his classes, and threaten him with physical attack.  Eventually, Lessing was forced to resign his position.  

Today, we are witnessing the so called "Anti-Fascist" group Antifa use the exact same tactics to silence those who disagree with their views.  It has reached the point that some universities like Berkeley have literally become war-zones, with armed SWAT Team forces being called in to protect peaceful conservative speakers like Ben Shapiro.  In 2017 at Middlebury College in Vermont, Charles Murray was scheduled to have a dialogue with moderate democrat Allison Stranger.  Both were continually shouted down to the point that they had to have their dialogue behind closed doors via closed-circuit television.  After this dialogue, both were physically assaulted as they tried to leave campus, with Ms. Stranger eventually hospitalized with a neck injury. 

These actions committed by Antifa are exactly what the Brown Shirts did to Theodor Lessing in 1925.  Antifa is not fighting fascism, they're enforcing it.  Antifa is in truth, America's Brown Shirts.
