The Weimar Republic [[wp>Iron_Front]] was a paramilitary in support of the liberal and social democrat parties, and protected the Weimar State (ineffectively) from the [[wp>Sturmabteilung]] (SA) wing of the [[wp>Nazi Party]] and the [[wp>Antifaschistische Aktion]] wing of the [[wp>Communist Party of Germany (KPD)]] (Antifa), who both sought to overpower eachother and the State.   The [[wp>Three Arrows]] was original an anti-fascist means of defacing a swastikas graffitied on public buildings and Jewish or other "unwanted" businesses.   We use it to quickly deprecate hateful or ignorant graffiti that property owners are unable to prevent or abate, in order to halt the prevent vicious propaganda from becoming normalized or valorized in the public conscience.  Whereas when seen as a stand-alone symbol, it is almost always an appropriated use by Anarcho-bolsheviks aligned with the revolutionary anti-capitalist Antifa, who attempted and largely succeeded at commandeering the "Antifascist" movement, along with a compliant and ignorant professional class and news media that neglected to do the research or report the investigative journalism.

The [[2020 protests]] were dominated by a movement for "police abolition".  Dissenters within this movement [[https://jaredscribe.com/2020-portland-blm-uprising#iron-front-pnw|announced the PNW Iron Front]] to seek radical reform and "police accountability" through measure 26-217 and the CBPA, while opposing the rioting which we consider counter-revolutionary and likely to result in a crime wave and re-funding of police, which did in fact occur in the years following.  At the time we wrote: "Todays “Antifa” borrows their ascetics, tactics, their logo (KPD AntifascistAktion) and shares the same goal of destablizing and ultimately overthrowing the liberal democratic state, which they characterize as “fascist” in an overly-expansive definition of the term." We discouraged participation in the "Black Bloc" which we accused of sharing with fascism the same "counter-liberatory despair, and contributing to a culture of violence and worship of power, and engendering hatred for the social justice movement."  

Contrary to this, we claim that "The ends don’t justify the means. Right and wrong matter.  Refuse to live in a manner inconsistent with the world [you or] I want to create ... See also: [[https://jaredscribe.com/your-life-matters|Your Life Matters]].  

We declared ourselves to be [[https://jaredscribe.com/2020-portland-blm-uprising#antifascist-and-anti-anarchocommunist|Anti-Fascist and anti-AnarchoCommunist]], refuted the ACAB canard, and published [[http://BastardsLivesMatter.org|BastardsLivesMatter.org]] in response to the misogyny and misanthropy engendered by the malevolent stupidity of protest chants like "FTP".

We thank [[https://rosecityantifa.org/|RoseCityAntifa.org]] and their cohorts for opposing fascist organizing like the 2007 Hammerfest, but have found their unnatural solutions to the problems of class, alienation, sex, and race to create almost as many problems as they solve.  We find their opposition to democracy found in the overly broad definition of fascism, to be one of the main motivations for fascist organizing in the first place.  

Democrat-Republicans are also in error, for allowing domestic terrorists and enemies of the state to openly organize, march, and rally.  The Supremes should revisit Skokie - neo-Nazis should not be allowed to march, or else vigilante groups like Rose City Antifa, the PNWYLF, the PSL others will continue have a raison d'etre.

===== Our coalition =====
includes liberal and social democrats, conservative republicans, constitutional monarchists, democratic and market socialists, libertarians, mensheviks, reflective trotskyites and anti-leninist bolshevik old-guard, and anarcho-syndicalists who observe natural law and can manage to keep dumpsters and windows intact.

This is a "big-tent" group;  we are not necessarily in solidarity with each other on every question of social justice or political action, and we don't require this, respecting minority rights to act in principled dissent.  We reject demands for loyalty to either "the left" or "the right", seeking instead to form a radical center.  Instead of celebrating the power to kill and destroy, we celebrate the power to create and give life - and we honor God and families.
Instead of cultivating viciousness and thrilling to violence, we seek cultivate virtues like courage, humility, temperance, and justice.  We do not attempt to fornicate with the police, we don't call them "pigs", we don't call women or lower-class men "bitches", and we don't get drunk on bacon or pork ribs.

We welcome God-fearing gentiles of all ethnic and religious backgrounds, ordinary agnostics, open skeptics, natural philosophers, Palestinian Jews, and Israeli Arabs, but oppose militant atheism, christian dominionism and crusades, and militant Islam.
