Polish Anti-fascists ambush neo-nazi band "Tormentia"

someone | 29.10.2010 16:32

...

"There is no Antifa in Poland" (it refers to mantra repeated for years by Polish fascists on their intenret forums). Really? On iternet you can see short clip from activity of "sport-oriented Anti-Fascists" (as militants call each other in jokes).

 http://rutube.ru/tracks/3713206.html?confirm=f39bceb0b951d7d580ffb9d32c2c2480&v=5ecac2a6b5039d42d2eb70528ad35a14

On the clip we can see how those "sportsmen" attack band "Tormentia". It is band from Poland playing national-socialist black metal. This day "Tormentia" was supposed to play on "v Szczery Memorial", together with Serbian band Razor 88.
Mariusz Szczerski aka "Szczery" was leading member of Polish neo-nazi band "Honor". He died in 2005 and since then people connected with fascist movement in Poland turned him into a hero. If death in car accident is heroic, then "Szczery" was a hero- he died like thousands of other people dying in car accidents. Now fascists organize "memorials" devoted to his memory. Those are gigs, which gather "elite" of neo-nazis from whole of Europe. Details of those gigs are kept in secret, and their participants are informed about them in last moment by phone or text message. Despite of those security precautions, "persons uknown" managed to get some information. They arranged to meet fascists from "Tormentia" on one of the services on the way to the gig. Idiot neo-nazis, because they should be called like that thought that they will go with second vehicle full of nazis straight to the gig. After all its safer i na group. Well it appeared that they will neither go anywhere nor its safer. There was a funny dialogue with Anti-fascists, who didn't know what else they can talk about with those idiots:

"Allright, you know who we are, right?"
"No"
"Antifa Poland"
"Oh fuck!"

Result of encounter wasn't difficult to predict. As you can see on the film, fascist end up unconscious on the floor. Some of their equipment was destroyed. Their show on "memorial gig" was of course cancelled. Because "Tormentia" never admitted such an action ever took place, we decided to publish part of the recording from the day. As authors of the film informed, they erased more drastic fragments. To protect the identity of those taking part also faces were erased fro mthe clip.

This recording is an answer to words "There is no Antifa in Poland". Those words are often repeated by fascists, who never admit to their own defeats. We have to add that this is second band from NS RAC scenerecently, that managed to find out in first person about capabilities of "sport-oriented Anti-fascists". Ukrainian nazi black metal band Kroda after Anti-fascists visited their concert in Warsaw was forced to cancel their European tour due to smahed equipment and injuries.

Tolerate everything but intolerance - that is why it is OK to attack fascists and why it doesn't make you "just as bad as them".

Anyone who doesn't realise how immediately and directly violent these Nazis are is desperately naive, these people are attacking immigrants, gays, homeless people etc all the time. Nazis attacked a concert in Russia recently and stabbed nearly 100 people, killing a 14 year old girl; and (even IF the individual members of bands like this aren't personally violent - ?) bands like this knowingly promote the ideology that produces this violence, and they have to be held accountable for their actions. You have to be very careful if you're going to get involved in militant Anti-Fascism, especially to make sure you get the right people, but the bottom line is that (whatever their ideological positions) militant Anti-Fascists risk imprisonment, serious injury and (as has been proven by Nazi murders in Russia and the USA) even death to provide society's first line of defence against a genocidal ideology.

When Hitler joined the Nazi Party (contrary to popular misconception he didn't found it - it existed before he got involved) the party was so tiny and pathetic his membership card was stamped number "8" - ie there were only 7 other people in it before he got involved... and look what happened next. Unfortunately now it's not even a case of Nazi groups being "small but nasty" any more, Fascism and Nazism are back all over the world big-time and in some countries pose a major threat both in terms of street violence and increasingly in terms of mainstream politics....
