anti-fascist

Against authoritarian nationalism

Anti-fascist describes opposition to fascism—the authoritarian, ultranationalist ideology associated with Mussolini's Italy and Hitler's Germany.

As a noun, an anti-fascist is someone who actively resists fascist movements or governments.

The term has gained renewed currency in discussions of far-right politics: Anti-fascist protesters clashed with white nationalists.

Often shortened to antifa when referring to loosely organized activist groups.
