Communists and Nazis staged a violent competition of hate for freedom in the 20th century. Today the far-left follows in the footsteps of those totalitarians.

Restaurant customers were forced to raise their fists

This Monday, supporters of the far-left movement Black Lives Matter, which has been leading acts of violence, looting and vandalism in various parts of the United States, held a demonstration in Washington DC. Fredrick Kunkle explained yesterday on Twitter that the demonstration began in the Columbia Heights neighborhood, in the northwest of the city, a neighborhood with many restaurants. During their tour, the protesters were coercing the white customers who were on the terraces to raise their fists in support of the march, shouting "white silence is violence."

They harass a woman who refused to make that gesture of submission

The fear of possible retaliation from a radical and violent mob paid off, until the demonstration reached the Adams Morgan neighborhood. There they ran into a woman named Lauren who refused to raise her fist. The friend who accompanied her on the terrace did raise her fist, but she refused. In a scene that seemed recorded in a totalitarian regime, the far-left protesters surrounded her, shouting and insulting her and facing her to make that gesture of submission towards them. An act of harassment and coercion that lasted "several minutes", according to Kunkle.

The precedent of the German who refused to do the Nazi salute

Lauren's bravery in front of these bullies has led to gestures of admiration towards her on social networks, with some netizens calling her a heroine. Seeing her gesture, it is inevitable to remember the case of August Landmesser, a worker at the Blohm+Voss shipyard in Hamburg, Germany, who became famous for appearing in a photograph taken on June 13, 1936 during the launch of a ship. While all his companions did the Nazi salute, August stood with his arms crossed. The photo became famous in 1991, when it was published by the German newspaper Die Zeit. Today, August symbolizes the courage of one who refuses to show submission to totalitarianism.

My applause to Lauren for her courage in front of those fanatics, and my thanks to the far-left protesters, for showing us once again that they are the same ideological rubbish as the fascists they claim to hate.
