What happened in Charlottesville to the alt-right is exactly what happened to the BUF in 1934

>On April 22, 1934, the British Union of Fascists held a large meeting at the Albert Hall in West London attracting an audience of 10,000
>This was an occasion for demonstrating the propaganda techniques of fascist meetings
>Moseley’s speech could enthuse the most sceptical and had all on their feet, swept along with the mood of spiritual renewal
>As the BUF grew, Mosley arranged for a meeting at Olympia in West London, a venue larger than the Albert Hall
>The meeting at Olympia was booked for June 7, 1934, with well-publicised notice, a fact that reached the ears of the communists, the militant Left … and Jewish organisations.
>Mosley had only his ability to speak, without the means of the press
>His enemies decided that he would be deprived of this means through organised violence and thuggery.
>The myth of Blackshirt violence was created out of Mosley’s determination that, in order to be heard by the people, he would have to defend his meetings from attack. The alternative would have been to surrender to communist violence
>Because the Albert Hall rally had proved successful without any violence, his enemies on the Left were determined that the Olympia meeting would be smashed
>Around 2,000 Blackshirts were spread around the meeting at Olympia with a large contingent lined up around the platform. The audience consisted of 12,000 people … while outside 2,000 anti-fascists were amassed for the purpose of violent protest
>The intention of the anti-fascists was not just to prevent Mosley from speaking but also to create the myth that Mosley was responsible for the violence
>This lie has been accepted as truth ever since

TL;DR - all we care is that win we will because no power on earth can hold down the will within us
