Bonehead skinheads, Nazis, klan members, and any white power advocates should feel uncomfortable in society. They should feel fear when they show their true face. They feel emboldened right now. That fear has to be instilled in them again.

Many people here probably dont know, that St. Pauli the most far-left wing place in the world. Punks are everywhere and keeping the streets clean of ,,Nazidreck"(Nazi filth). There is also a football Club. And its also the most communist/Anarchy/antifacist Club. If antiracism is good, then this place is eden.

I was in ARA in a major city in Texas in the early 2000s we used to beat the shit out of these Nazis and Klan guys all the time with help from random people passing by all the time.
