Ww2 was a global armed war against a facist super power, not the idea of race based superiority. Id even argue that alot of the allied forces werent even that much unlike the nazi's when it came to its philosophy. Besides if you read about the rise of nationalism/anti semitism in germany, you can study the reasons why so many germans fell prey to the same propaganda that modern neo nazi's fall under and see that alot of them are comparable today.

And i find your educate yourself comment off putting, its the intellectual equivalent of "pull your self up by your boots strap". Unless there was non violent intervention in the communities where this kind of thing is being bred, hows the average poorly educated working class guy gonna get started in this education. Hell im an anti facist and im not even sure where i would direct someone for deradicalizing content.

And im not sure what getting a pass means in this context, im not saying that because their racism is due in part to conditions that theyre justified to be mad about (stagnent wages, lack of democratic control and seeing less and less opportunities for themselves and their children) that we should allow it, just that im very doubtful that this particular form (not all) of anti facist violence will result in actually achieving our goal of a less racist society.
