A tactic of certain "anti-fascist" groups is to simply call anyone they don't like fascist and attack them. Just like actual fascists used to excuse violence as "anti-communist".

Claiming to be anti-fascist doesn't actually make them anti-fascist nor excuse them from breaking laws.

A tactic of certain fascist groups is to simply claim their opponents simply call anyone they don't like fascist and attack them. How can we objectively decide who's right?

Have objective laws and prosecute people who break them.

Do you even have a definition of fascist?

Is it:

1) Right wingers

2) People who hate Jews and glorify Hitler

3) Governments who make laws requiring corporations to cooperate with the state

Why do you present three equally ridiculous options?

		These are all definitions people have used. So what's your definition?

It's none of these. Umberto Eco's ur-fascism is a good starting point for a more serious definition: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/
