Antifa has had a busy summer, much to the chagrin of the neo-fascists. Today alone was an example of that!

Curiously, it was the weekend that saw the 31st anniversary of the death of Nazi Deputy Führer Rudolf Hess that neo-fascists decided to hold a number of rallies not just in Berlin but also in the United States. For antifascists, the day became a continuation of what has been called #AllOutAugust, as antifa met each of the rallies held in overwhelming numbers.

In Berlin, Germany, thousands of counterprotesters thwarted the 500-person neo-Nazi march, first driving them out of the main event location in the Spandau district, then again out of Friedrichshain on the opposite end of the city. Those opposed to the march hurled bottles and rocks at the participants, among them a group calling itself National Socialists Berlin. Ultimately, the march was canceled.

At least one police officer was injured in Berlin on Saturday when around 500 activists shouting “Nazis out” clashed with an equal number of far-right activists marking the 31st anniversary of the prison suicide of Nazi convict… https://t.co/1FD2QGiUy8 pic.twitter.com/j93yjBKY4h

The neo-fascists in Boston not only could not match the numbers in Berlin, bringing out only 30, but also found themselves embarrassed yet again as hundreds turned out to oppose them. As was the case a year ago when tens of thousands came out to oppose the neo-fascists in the wake of Charlottesville, and again just a few weeks ago when they were chased out of Providence, Rhode Island after a half hour, the groups represented included Boston Free Speech, Resist Marxism and the American Guard, a group founded by neo-Nazi Brien James, who also founded the Vinlander Social Club and is a member of the Indiana chapter of the Proud Boys.

The neo-fascists holding the rally in Austin, Texas managed to turn out 100 of their number, but they too were outnumbered 5 to 1 by counterprotesters drowning them out. This rally was significant because while it was hosted by Texans United for America, state law requires organizations to get a state lawmaker to sponsor any event held on Capital grounds and attest to the State Preservation Board that it benefits the “community at large”. That sponsor, Texas State Rep. Dan Flynn was on hand to address the neo-fascists saying, “It’s exciting to be here to represent the conservative values and our commitment to free speech, firmly and peacefully. Thank you for showing up today in defense of our First Amendment.” Ironically, some of those he spoke to were wearing shirts supporting Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and included Christopher Ritchie, who was among those who attended the “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last year, engaged in the fighting there, and according to some reports, was involved in an assault during Austin’s rally as well.

Yes, this man’s shirt says “Pinochet did nothing wrong.” But they’re just conservatives, they just love the constitution. pic.twitter.com/uLBwYE1eRK

In Seattle, Washington 3 Percenters, Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys were holding what they called a “Liberty or Death” rally outside City Hall to protest a gun control initiative there. This was just two weeks after the contentious rally in Portland, Oregon where police clashed with counterprotesters. This time, three persons were arrested for assault, and curiously some counterprotesters, were carrying firearms openly. One of those groups were passing out flyers urging the Patriot movement to cut from hate groups such as Patriot Prayer.
