With open encouragement from Donald Trump and often working hand-in-hand
with local police, the far right in the U.S. has become a serious
threat. White supremacists have driven cars into Black Lives Matter
rallies. They no longer just bring guns to protests. They are prepared
to use them. Many on the Left believe that the rise of neo-fascism has
created a real threat to what is already very limited democracy in the U.S.
On October 11,/Tempest/presented a webinar on how to fight the far right
featuring four socialist activists. The following transcript has been
lightly edited for clarity. Watch the roundtablehere
