In this episode of The Dugout, we break down the recent neo-Nazi demonstration in Lincoln Heights, Ohio, and the community’s powerful response. We explore the long history of Black self-defense, the failures of law enforcement, and the ongoing threats of fascist organizing. What does this moment reveal about the reality of anti-fascist resistance, and how does the romanticization of Black struggle by non-Black leftists impact real-world organizing? Tune in for a deep dive into history, direct action, and radical community protection.
