Suppression and censorship are definitely not exclusive to fascism. Communism (Leninism specifically) as well as religious and military regimes say hi.

To quote the first line of Wikipedia: "Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzÉ™m/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism"

Antifa is the opposite of far-right, they are the opposite of authoritarian and the opposite of nationalistic.

So yeah they might share a trait with Fascism (and the other types I mentioned above) but that doesn't make them fascist.

I didn't actually call them fascists, if you read my original post. I merely stated that they use methods which are fascistic in nature, which is ironic given their political stance. Regardless, it's not a good way to go about getting your message across and I can only look at those who support their methods as uneducated, ignorant or worse.

I know that you didn't but there's really nothing ironic about it when these methods are far from being exclusive to fascism.
