          was it?

          i always thought thatā€™s mostly because german fascists dragged both of those countries into war by attacking them, which caused severe backlash by proxy, and not really antifa being particularly effective in those countries.

          explains why the U.S., despite having a large fascist movement at the time, reversed course and turned on fascism as an ideology (in public); they got attacked.

          same in Britain; early attacks in the war, plus some lingering resentment from WWI, combined overcoming a push towards fascismā€¦

          Iā€™d love to hear/read more about successful antifa movements in the UK/US, but thatā€™s what Iā€™ve always thought/read were the major reasons for failing fascist movements in those countries: other fascistsā€¦
