Politicians from both ruling parties are comparing anti-war protesters on school campuses to the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville and some are even calling for the National Guard to be used against them on campus.

These are calculated attacks designed to dehumanize human beings in the eyes of the public, attack solidarity, and grease the wheels of repression. These calls for systematic state violence echo the attacks against anti-war, divestment, and anti-apartheid protesters in the 1960s and 1980s.

Solidarity is our weapon. Use it.
