Tom Tanuki critiques anti-fascist tactics in a debate with Omar Hassan from Socialist Alternative. He emphasizes the need for serious discussions about strategies to combat rising neo-Nazi threats in Australia, arguing that merely organizing mass rallies is insufficient when opponents are actively training for violence. Tanuki criticizes Hassan for underestimating the importance of physical preparedness, urging the left to recognize that a diverse range of tactics is necessary to confront militant fascism effectively. He defends the need for self-defense and combat training while stressing the importance of coalition-building among anti-fascist groups, highlighting historical examples that demonstrate the effectiveness of varied approaches. Ultimately, Tanuki calls for collaboration and consent among activists while acknowledging the complexity of confronting well-organized far-right movements.
