When does resistance cross the line — and is violence ever justifiable in the fight against fascism? In this episode of Squid Tips, we dive deep into one of the most polarizing questions of our time: Does violence have a place in anti-fascist resistance?

We explore:

Historical precedents — when oppressed groups used force to defend democracy

Modern context — rising authoritarianism, far-right extremism, and political violence

Moral and ethical concerns — self-defense vs escalation

Strategic risks — how violence might backfire or fuel more repression

Alternatives — what nonviolent resistance still offers

This isn’t about choosing sides blindly — it’s about understanding the stakes, the risks, and the potential paths forward when democracy is under threat.

✊ Whether you're an activist, a thinker, or someone who cares about justice, this conversation matters.
