The foreign policy of the Democrats is not different from that of Republicans.
In regard to the main current issues, Republicans are less intolerant, rather than more tolerant.
Both left and right pay lip service to basic freedoms. The major difference between the two are apparent in regard to unregulated immigration and the Second Amendment.
Leftists wear their antifascism on their sleeve, as they plan total information dominance and organize witch trials, canceling, and media censorship, which used to be prerogative of fascists and communists. We have entered an age of antiracist antifascist thought and press controls,
Antifa
Antifa (/ænˈtiːfə, ˈænti(ˌ)fə/) is a left-wing, anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement in the United States. As a highly decentralized array of autonomous groups, antifa uses both nonviolent and violent direct action to achieve its aims rather than policy reform.[1][2][3] Much of antifa political activism is nonviolent, involving poster and flyer campaigns, mutual aid, speeches, protest marches, and community organizing.[4][5][6] They also engage in protest tactics, seeking to combat fascists and racists such as neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other far-right extremists. Antifa's willingness to directly confront far-right activists (and in some cases, law enforcement) is a departure from other leftist opposition movements.[2] This confrontation sometimes involves digital activism, doxing, harassment, violence, and property damage against those they identify as belonging to the far right.[7]
Antifa activists' actions have received support and criticism from various organizations and pundits. Some on the left criticize antifa's willingness to adopt violent tactics, which they describe as counterproductive, emboldening the right and their allies.[12] Part of the right characterizes it as a domestic terrorist organization or uses antifa as a catch-all term[13] for any left-leaning or liberal protest actions.[14] Some scholars argue that antifa is a legitimate response to the rise of the far right[15] and that antifa's violence is not equivalent to right-wing violence.[3]
Until the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, fascist was a positive word in the West, as fascist forces in Europe were closely allied to Western democracies, since the Spanish Civil War.
In Asia, opponents of European colonial rule sympathised with Germany, particularly in India, which they hoped would weaken British colonialism.
On August 24, the day of the signature of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, fascism became a bad word in the West. Since fascists were so obviously unpleasant, to claim antifascism is still a form of virtue signalling, in the West. Nonetheless, all WW2 allies of Germany have since then received full absolution with total indulgence. In a number of NATO countries, it is socially acceptable to praise the movements that initiated the extermination of the Jews in Poland, Ukraine, the Baltic countries, and Croatia. In those countries, the killing of Jews was initiated by local nationalist groups, not by the Nazis.
In the US and in Europe, antifascism has come to be the party of censorship. Anti-fascism/racism has become the official ideology of the parties that fear freedom of speech and press.
Scholars tend to reject the equivalence between antifa and white supremacy.[2][16][17]
Said scholars also tend to see the First Amendment as old-fashioned. Being antifascist does not seem to automatically require devotion to free speech any more.
It was supposed to be the celebration of a grand career, as the American Civil Liberties Union presented a prestigious award to the longtime lawyer David Goldberger. He had argued one of its most famous cases, defending the free speech rights of Nazis in the 1970s to march in Skokie, Ill., home to many Holocaust survivors.
Mr. Goldberger, now 79, adored the A.C.L.U. But at his celebratory luncheon in 2017, he listened to one speaker after another and felt a growing unease.
A law professor argued that the free speech rights of the far right were not worthy of defense by the A.C.L.U. and that Black people experienced offensive speech far more viscerally than white allies. In the hallway outside, an A.C.L.U. official argued it was perfectly legitimate for his lawyers to decline to defend hate speech.
Mr. Goldberger, a Jew who defended the free speech of those whose views he found repugnant, felt profoundly discouraged.
“I got the sense it was more important for A.C.L.U. staff to identify with clients and progressive causes than to stand on principle,” he said in a recent interview. “Liberals are leaving the First Amendment behind.” https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/06/us/aclu-free-speech.html
In the old days, only fascist and the communist imposed thought uniformity upon the press. Now, there is agreement, between fascists, socialists, communists and liberals: there are noble motives for imposing censorship or other controls upon the media.
