Sorry for flooding, but I think this is an important addition to what I'm trying to say.
If you show me an incident like the Alison Strange the attack and ask me to join you condemning it, I absolutely will. If you ask me to go the length, I will go through my connections to find the personal contact information of people responsible and send them lengthy angry explanations why what they're doing is wrong, and how they are a disgrace to the movement and should be ashamed of themselves. I repeatedly in my own social circles speak out when someone is going overboard rhetorically (for example when they call local far-right politicians something like "scum").
I just don't consider it to be even remotely fair to judge the whole anti-fascist movement as bad simply because not all people participating are in the right or pay attention to the guidelines on acceptable and un-acceptable levels of physical confrontation.
I think even Corsi would accept this following statement(??)
There is no good ways of being a Nazi (apart from just keeping it to yourself), but there are a lot of good ways of being an anti-fascist.
