i actually don’t support these laws because they historically always just get used against the left and never against the right. fascism isn’t defeated by the government banning it, it’s defeated on the street. Also from a long time back, one of the proposed amendments to this bill was the following text (i dont know if it was in the final bill)
all other extremist groups which seek to promote fascism, communism, anarchism, bigotry and violence in our community
we also know that in places like germany where nazi symbols are banned they just invent new more obscure ones anyway
Doesn’t look too bad actually, specifically calling out a crossed out swastika as being allowed (afaik in Germany this example was used to disperse antifascist rallies)
Either way though, the solution can only come from the working class.

they don’t need a legal mandate to oppress the left. blow up every nazi statue with public money.
