... the other Black experience


I've been watching this amazing documentary on youtube called "Antifascist Attitude" and it's about how there's a small but rapidly growing contingent of Russian Antifascists 
(militant, liberal, punks,skinheads, mods, etc) who are turning the tide on the neonazis/fascists/fascist sympathsizing politicians who originally greatly outnumbered them. Interviews, live concert footage, direct action and demonstrations. There's eight 10 minute episodes. Truly,truly fucking inspiring.

Here's all eight episodes:

Hey MikDude,
U know I can't watch all this on YouTube cuz I'm on dialup and I'd probably be dead and gone before it all downloaded.

But I like it the idea of an "Antifascist Attitude" is much more encompassing than stringing out antiracistsexistclassisthomophob... Heck antifascist could even include those lizards huh?

pardon me for being OLD but is a "scene" like what we used to call a "movement"? Is it only in Russia so far?
Hi there Lupa. The antifascist movement has a rich history that dates back to the early 1800's. But it's very big in europe because fascists actually took control of the government there in WW2 and because of the recent upswing of fascist sympathesizers and neo nazis in russia, there was been a small but growing contingent of antifascist embracing their political heritage as those who helped put an end to the nazis during WW2. I'm sure there is way to buy the dvd but I just watched them on youtube. It's really really good. I hope that helps :)
