British Fascism and How to Fight It

:

That article is definitely worth a read, the bottom half is very interesting.

But the conclusion:

"It is necessary to initiate labor-based “united-front” actions to physically confront and disperse the fascists whenever they attempt to mobilize. Following the Denby debacle, our comrades proposed: “Close tactical cooperation between stewards from each participating organisation could be achieved without blurring the political lines between them, as each group would be free to put forward its own programme in its own name” (ibid).

"The basis of a united front to stop the BNP would be an agreement to mobilize sufficient force to prevent the fascists from rearing their heads, and to teach any who dared appear a painful lesson. All organizations committed to ridding the streets of these thugs would be welcome to participate without having to adopt a particular set of political ideas or belong to any sort of front group. Everyone would be free to put forward their own distinctive views. This sort of non-sectarian united-front approach has the potential to attract the broadest number of militants, and thus maximize the chances of dealing serious blows to the fascists."

is hard to achieve, in many parts of the country BNP openly sell papers etc etc. They rear their heads, their arms and their bodies across many town centres in the country.

Given the balance of forces and particularly the strength of bureaucratic reformism in the trade union and left movement this is indeed hard to achieve at the moment.

But still we believe it is the necessary perspective that needs to be aimed at. We attempt, with our very meagre resources, to implement this perspective where we can, alongside engaging with others who also see its usefulness so as to maximise the forces trying to bring it into being.

This anti-fascist activity also can't be thought of in isolation from the rest of the struggle to build a revolutionary opposition to the attacks of the bosses and the chaos of capitalism in crisis, of which the fascist resurgence is just one expression.
