The posters' rightly stand against the great evil of white supremacy and Nazism. But in using this meme they have, whether by ignorance or malice, compared those who stood for freedom with a group, AntiFa, that uses fascist tactics to intimidate and crush those with whom they disagree under the guise that they are against fascism.
AntiFa is grounded in Marxism and anarchy and they use threats and violence as their tools to squash dissent. They represent a great evil that killed and enslaved millions under communist regimes. It is a great evil to white-wash this group.
It's possible for two things to be true at the same time: White Supremacy/neo-Nazism and Marxism/Anarchists are both evil. Don't chest-thump against one evil while ignoring the other.
And don't dishonor the memories of those who sacrificed their lives and their bodies to save the world directly and indirectly from both evils.
