“If you cannot convince a Fascist, acquaint his head with the pavement.” - Leon Trotsky
The fortieth anniversary of the Battle of Lewisham, which falls today, has been given some unwanted context by events in the US. I was there of course, and the pictures in yesterday's Guardian and the others I include here certainly bring back memories.
"Are you a communist?"
"No, I am an anti-fascist."
"For a long time?"
"Since I have understood fascism."
- Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls
