    “and an anti-fascist group whose members were prosecuted by German authorities for a hammer attack against neo-Nazis in Dresden.”

    Is that terrorism?

      No, it’s dropping the hammer on some Nazis.

      Come on people, the only way to protect tolerance is not to tolerate intolerance.

        To recap: A Neo-Nazi government has labeled an antifascist group a terrorist organization because the antifascist group targeted Nazis.

      Vigilantism is usually considered terrorism if done by a political org.

      [edit] Disclaimer: terrorism is okay sometimes because someone’s terrorist might be a somebody else’s freedom fighter - it all depends on the perspective. It’s just that if roles were reversed you’d be calling those nazis terrorists too and they’ll point out this as hypocrisy. Don’t give them ammo when you don’t need to.
