These \u201cpeaceful\u201d protesters were more concerned with how they will be perceived in the media than with what the fascist fraternities were doing. They even excluded antifascists from their ranks and stigmatized them, which could have easily caused them fall victim to state repression. One trade unionist even said: \u201cThey (the antifa) do not belong to us.\u201d&nbsp;The the goal of liberal counter<br \/>\ninsurgency protest organizers is to have antifa stigmatized and portrayed as \u201cevil\u201d and \u201cviolent\u201d so that the state and the media could praise them for their \u201cpeacefulness,\u201d instead of dealing with the fascists. A similar incident occurred last year in the US, in Kansas City Missouri, when liberal leaders <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/revolution-news.com\/kansas-city-police-announce-security-measures-protect-nazi-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got together with police<\/a><\/strong> to hold a third demo against a nazi rally in order to undermine immigrants and radicals. Fortunately, in this case they only embarrassed themselves, while immigrants and radicals stood together against hate at site of the nazi rally, fully drowning out their rally and sending nazis home exhausted and defeated. In Vienna just like in Kansas City, counter insurgents did not allow radical people of color, radical immigrants, or antifascists&nbsp;to speak at their rally against the structural state violence and racism, or about the fraternity between the state and the Neo-nazis which results in refugees and immigrants being killed.<\/p>\n<p>It speaks for itself that after the arson attack in Hamburg-Altona \u2013 in which a refugee woman and her two kids were killed \u2013 the police allowed the neo-nazi party to hold a rally. It\u2019s not the state and the Neo-nazis who need protection and solidarity, but their most vulnerable victims \u2013 the refugees and the immigrants \u2013 but this is something that the reformist left chooses to ignore.

These \u201cpeaceful\u201d protesters were more concerned with how they will be perceived in the media than with what the fascist fraternities were doing. They even excluded antifascists from their ranks and stigmatized them, which could have easily caused them fall victim to state repression. One trade unionist even said: \u201cThey (the antifa) do not belong to us.\u201d&nbsp;The the goal of liberal counter insurgency protest organizers is to have antifa stigmatized and portrayed as \u201cevil\u201d and \u201cviolent\u201d so that the state and the media could praise them for their \u201cpeacefulness,\u201d instead of dealing with the fascists. A similar incident occurred last year in the US, in Kansas City Missouri, when liberal leaders <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/revolution-news.com\/kansas-city-police-announce-security-measures-protect-nazi-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got together with police<\/a><\/strong> to hold a third demo against a nazi rally in order to undermine immigrants and radicals. Fortunately, in this case they only embarrassed themselves, while immigrants and radicals stood together against hate at site of the nazi rally, fully drowning out their rally and sending nazis home exhausted and defeated. In Vienna just like in Kansas City, counter insurgents did not allow radical people of color, radical immigrants, or antifascists&nbsp;to speak at their rally against the structural state violence and racism, or about the fraternity between the state and the Neo-nazis which results in refugees and immigrants being killed.<\/p>\n<p>It speaks for itself that after the arson attack in Hamburg-Altona \u2013 in which a refugee woman and her two kids were killed \u2013 the police allowed the neo-nazi party to hold a rally. It\u2019s not the state and the Neo-nazis who need protection and solidarity, but their most vulnerable victims \u2013 the refugees and the immigrants \u2013 but this is something that the reformist left chooses to ignore.

These \u201cpeaceful\u201d protesters were more concerned with how they will be perceived in the media than with what the fascist fraternities were doing. They even excluded antifascists from their ranks and stigmatized them, which could have easily caused them fall victim to state repression. One trade unionist even said: \u201cThey (the antifa) do not belong to us.\u201d&nbsp;The the goal of liberal counter insurgency protest organizers is to have antifa stigmatized and portrayed as \u201cevil\u201d and \u201cviolent\u201d so that the state and the media could praise them for their \u201cpeacefulness,\u201d instead of dealing with the fascists. A similar incident occurred last year in the US, in Kansas City Missouri, when liberal leaders <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/revolution-news.com\/kansas-city-police-announce-security-measures-protect-nazi-rally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">got together with police<\/a><\/strong> to hold a third demo against a nazi rally in order to undermine immigrants and radicals. Fortunately, in this case they only embarrassed themselves, while immigrants and radicals stood together against hate at site of the nazi rally, fully drowning out their rally and sending nazis home exhausted and defeated. In Vienna just like in Kansas City, counter insurgents did not allow radical people of color, radical immigrants, or antifascists&nbsp;to speak at their rally against the structural state violence and racism, or about the fraternity between the state and the Neo-nazis which results in refugees and immigrants being killed.<\/p>\n<p>It speaks for itself that after the arson attack in Hamburg-Altona \u2013 in which a refugee woman and her two kids were killed \u2013 the police allowed the neo-nazi party to hold a rally. It\u2019s not the state and the Neo-nazis who need protection and solidarity, but their most vulnerable victims \u2013 the refugees and the immigrants \u2013 but this is something that the reformist left chooses to ignore.
