The Administrator will likely be able to direct readers to further critiques of anti-fascism on this site but this unedited communist critique by Jean Barrot, his anti-anti-fascism below, is a good starting point.

According to antifa.org.uk, Fascism... is an ideology [practice] based on violence and terror... In other words, the capitalist state is "fascist". With this in mind, it could be argued that liberating, emancipatory communism is anti-capitalist, i.e. anti-fascist. Yet communism is not the negation of the negative capitalism, it is its positive transcendence based upon all previous development. It is yes, yes, yes, not no.

Theoretical communism can only exist as a positive affirmation of the revolution.

Does anyone actually know where the 635 name came from/what it refers to?

And for anyone who really wants to go down a rabbithole, the "Rules of Engagement" PDF has a thing at the end saying "From Issue 1 of The Antifascist, produced by London Antifa in spring 2005" - dunno if that was ever scanned, but with a unique and distinctive title like that I'm sure it'll be really easy to find search results for!

Thanks R Totale! I’ve successfully added the “rules” page as child page of this one now.
