(Excellent)
Portland's social justice community did the left everywhere a great
service by refusing to buckle in the face of calls to demobilize. It
showed that the far right won't go unopposed, even if city officials
prefer that outcome, by creating a space for people to make their voices
heard, despite the understandable fear many felt in the white
supremacist's stabbing spree.
That fear can be compounded by the tactics pursued by some on the
left--known as "Antifa" or Black Bloc--who seek to engage in street
fighting with the neo-Nazis.
Though this approach appears to contrast with the liberal case for not
protesting or protesting away from the far right, the outcome can be the
same--namely, undermining the basis for a mass mobilization against the
far right by people who can and should be organized to confront the
fascists.
