For Antifa, Not All Speech Should Be Free

On the Media | Feb 10, 2017

Those who subscribe to liberal values are supposed to “defend to the death” the rights of their enemies to speak their minds. But anti-fascist activists, or “antifa,” believe history demonstrates the perils of giving a platform to hate -- and they'll go to great lengths to suppress such views. Mark Bray, a visiting historian at Dartmouth College and author of Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Streettalks with Brooke about the history, ideology, and recent resurgence of the anti-fascist movement.
