    Why do you defend fascism?
    Why are you concerned about antiX being openly anti-fascist? (Probably the vast majority of the world’s population would have zero issue with that).

    I think the vast majority of the worlds population would be highly supportive to that having seen the results of two world wars !.

    Please enlighten me how fascists are related to WWI.
    Regarding WWII, fascism was in Italy, whereas in Germany it was national socialism (nazism for short).

    There are ideas/beliefs I share with others and many things I don’t (even in this forum). No use in discussing them here.

    I do agree. Being silent is mostly wise. Maybe I am not as wise as I wish to be…
    Here and now, it is not me but the admin(s) who propagate(s) his/their personal stance via both http://antixlinux.com/ and http://www.antixforum.com/
    Whereas I merely intended to clarify for myself why, as I find the stance somewhat out of context.

    antiX is an optimal GNU/Linux distro for me (kudos, anticapitalista & team & contributors), thus I treasure antiX.
    Public projects should exercise great caution so as not to become mired in anything that would be better put aside. Therefore I am a bit worried about the project’s public image and future.
    Moreover, I am stuck with the label “fascism”.
    Saying that nazism or fascism are evil is like saying that Christianity and Islam are evil,
    since Christians waged the Crusades
    and Islam is all about terrorism,
    so both Christianity and Islam are all about holy wars and hate/prejudice/violence.
    It is important to distinguish tenets vs. crimes.
    It is hard to name a big movement not associated with crimes, yet it doesn’t neccessarily mean that crimes are inherent to the <put-your-hated-ideology-here>.
    I do not defend crimes committed in the name of <you-name-it>, yet both nazism and fascism have healthy ideas inside.

    there has been a rise in such fascist groups all over the world, particularly in Europe – and closer to my /home, in Greece.

    Is a rise in fascist groups such a major plague of the world?
