by Kdog I spent a good part of my teens and twenties building ARA... It was my university... its rewarding to have the history treated as something significant, even crucial. More than giving props to the OG antifas tho—what's really meaningful is that this book will help a new generation, confronting new forms of the fascist threat, find inspiration and lessons in both our successes and failures. In February I read the excellent new book We Go Where They Go: The Story of Anti-Racist Action written by Shannon Clay, Lady, Kristin Schwartz, and Michael Staudenmaier, with a cool graphic-styl ..read more

A Report on Antifascism in the 21st Century   By D.Z. Shaw and Stanislav Vysotsky On November 2nd and 3rd, 2022, Hofstra University hosted a conference on “Anti-Fascism in the 21st Century.” Videos of the presentations are available on the conference website.   For those who might not typically to seek out academic conferences, they are of variable quality and subject to contingent factors: who applies to present, who is invited, the quality of their work, and the scope of the organizers’ vision. A conference topic like antifascism in the twenty-first century is line ..read more

Editors' note:   The following is a guest post by Paul Bowman.    The article comes from a much larger set of essays attempting to give some analysis and definition to modern fascism, the broader reactionary currents that fascism often emerges from—but can break from, too—and what kinds of thinking our side needs to develop a working practice of countering fascism. On this last bit, Bowman starts with a comradely review of the three way fight concept of revolutionary antifascism and builds on this with his own experiences, analysis, and estimates.   Bowman came of age in th ..read more

by Linda Mann Editors’ note: Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is now in its eleventh month, and the war has no end in sight. For radicals in the west, the war raises crucial questions about imperialism, national oppression, class conflict, and political responsibility, yet it remains a point of deep disagreement and confusion. Three Way Fight believes that a radical response to the war needs to hold Russia’s right-wing authoritarian regime primarily responsible while also critiquing western powers and Ukraine’s capitalist state for their actions and roles. We’ve posted a compendium of u ..read more

Along with Discos Machete, Incendiario!, SHARP Rio de Janeiro, Rebel Time Records, RASH U.S., RASH Guadalajara, Dure Realite, and Unite & Win Records, Three Way Fight is proud to be able to support the americas edition of the upcoming album by one of our generations most important antifascist musical groups, Brigada Flores Magon.  Hailing from Paris, BFM has for over 20 years been making music for revolution and uncompromising action against the fascists, the state and the capitalist system. More than musicians, BFM, come from the lived struggle which underlines the anthems they creat ..read more

by Ian Wallace Exposing the Right and Fighting for Democracy Edited by Pam Chamberlain, Matthew Lyons, Abby Scher, and Spencer Sunshine Published by Routledge Press, 2022         I have no great understanding of academia or literary genres, so I had no idea of what a Festschrift is. Wikipedia tells me that a it’s a book that contains praise of a respected person's work, (hopefully) when the subject is still alive. The word itself, Festschrift, sounds like a name for piece of Ikea furniture. This is now sort of an old joke, and only useful here by extendin ..read more

How do we assert reproductive autonomy when far rightists are on the offensive and liberals have failed to stop them? As we noted two months ago, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision repealing Roe v. Wade marks a historic victory for the Christian right and specifically its fascist, theocratic wing. Defending access to abortion is an antifascist struggle, but that doesn’t mean the focus should be only, or even primarily, on combating the far right. What’s needed is a struggle on two fronts: against the various forces of the authoritarian right but also against their centrist enablers—the politici ..read more

How should western leftists respond to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? How do we best oppose imperialist aggression and systemic violence in a situation that defies simple narratives? How do we navigate between Kremlin-inspired propaganda and anti-Russian hysteria, or between the “anti-imperialist” and “anti-Nazi” pretensions of a right-wing authoritarian capitalist aggressor and the “pro-democracy” claims of critics who routinely support brutal repression and mass murder? From a three way fight perspective, the Russia-Ukraine war presents special challenges because it’s a situation where fasci ..read more

It’s time for antifascists to stop treating the Christian right as a secondary threat.  When the U.S. Supreme Court scraps legal protection for abortion rights—using arguments that also directly threaten legal protections for homosexuality, contraception, interracial marriage, and much more—it will mark a historic victory for the Christian right. More than anyone else, Christian rightists have worked steadily and carefully for almost half a century to reach this goal. They have done this not only because they want to stop pregnant people from making decisions about their own bodies. More ..read more
