White Supremacists To March Over Weekend

Last weekend's massive turnout of anti-Nazi / anti-white supremacist demonstrators in Boston dwarfed the small gaggle of depraved losers toting treasonous Confederate flags and demonstrating for white supremacy. That's the good news.

This weekend, though, several white supremacist rallies -- either couched in terms of preserving Confederate statues, or "free" (i.e. hate) speech -- are due to be held in San Francisco, Berkeley, and Knoxville. In the latter venue, the bigoted demonstrators will be protesting the removal of a Confederate monument to their (treasonous) soldiers that died at Fort Sanders, in the guise of Southern "heritage". In San Francisco, a white nationalist group from Oregon will be rallying in the cause of hate speech in Crissy Field, which is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Finally, on Sunday, a group of right-wingers will gather for a "No To Marxism In America" rally that's expected to draw the usual neo-Nazis and white supremacists to Civic Center Park.

Anti-Semitic white supremacists have been emboldened by neo-Fascist demagogue Donald "Rump" Trump's "both sides" wink and pass after Charlottesville. Ominously, dozens of anti-Semitic incidents have occurred in the wake of the Nazi riot in Charlottesville, as documented by the Anti-Defamation League. This rash of rallies by the degenerate goons of the far-right is the clearest symptom of Trumpism, and it needs to be opposed at every turn. Resist.
