At the start of July, "identitarian" leader Martin Sellner went to Augsburg, Germany, and was greeted by a crew of antifascists. This is right and proper.

However, at the end of July, German police came and busted into the homes of eight different antifascists in Augsburg. They didn't arrest anyone. It seems like they just wanted to do damage and intimidate people.

The people the cops targeted are pretty seriously shaken and between them they now have a few thousand euros in repairs to do.

So if you've got a few bucks to spare, please consider throwing them toward these folks, whose "crime" was organizing against a well known international fascist leader. Thanks!

Today in Labor History August 13, 1977: 4,000 antifascists fought with 500 Neo-Nazis from Britain’s National Front in the Battle of Lewisham, in southeast London. Over 100 people were injured and over 200 were arrested. The area had seen years of far-right organizing and violence by neo-Nazi groups, until the formation of the Lewisham Campaign Against Racism and Fascism, with the support of local trade unions, communists, socialists, and anti-racist and anti-fascist groups.

Today in Labor History August 12, 2017: Heather Heyer was killed and dozens were injured in a white supremacist terrorist attack in Charlottesville, Virginia. Heyer was an antifascist organizer and one of thousands of people who came out to protest against a Unite the Right rally of neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan activists and other white nationalists. A 20-year-old Nazi deliberately plowed his car into the crowd, causing the injuries and death of Heyer. President Donald Trump described the neo-Nazis as "very fine people." There have been numerous similar attacks on antifascists since then, killing or injuring 100 more activists. At the same time, Republicans in 15 states have attempted to introduce laws that would either legalize vehicular terrorist attacks against activists, or at least protect the attackers from legal liability.

Today in Labor History August 12, 1952: The Soviet authorities murdered 13 prominent Jewish intellectuals and writers in the Night of the Murdered Poets. All were members of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, which fought for the USSR against Nazi Germany. They were falsely accused of espionage and treason, and then imprisoned, tortured, and isolated for three years before being formally charged.

Today in Labor History August 12, 1936: The First International Brigades arrived in Spain to fight against Franco. Organized by the Communist International, between 40,000 and 60,000 men and women from around the world fought on the Republican side against the fascists. 10,000 of them died. Thousands more international activists joined anti-Stalinist forces, like the socialist POUM, or anarchist groups, like the FAI, CNT and the Durruti Column. Americans defied federal law to participate in the International Brigade, as members of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Famous Lincoln participants included Avant Garde composer Conlon Nancarrow, labor organizer Delmer Berg, scifi author Theodore Cogswell, novelist William Herrick. The Tom Mooney Company, named for San Francisco labor organizer, Tom Mooney, who was wrongly imprisoned for the WWI Preparedness Day bombing, was commanded by African American labor organizer Oliver Law, the first African-American to command an integrated American military unit. Many African-Americans joined the anti-franco forces. Langston Hughes, who was writing for the Baltimore Afro-American, said: "Give Franco a hood, and he would be a member of the Ku Klux Klan." There was also a George Washington Battlian, and a John Brown battery. Once the U.S. entered World War II, the FBI recommended that none of the veterans of the Spanish war against fascism be given any promotions within the U.S. military, to prevent the “rise of communists” in their ranks. The House UnAmerican Activities Committee (HUAC) blacklisted all American veterans of the Spanish war.
