Protests targeting “Zionists” in America quickly crossed partisan lines. Antifa-aligned and “social justice” networks on the Left turned campuses and cities into sites of disruption and eliminationist rhetoric.

Right-wing groups such as Patriot Front ran parallel actions with banners like “No Zionists in Government,” advancing antisemitic appeals inside white-nationalist programs. Both represent collectivist extremism. Fascism arose historically from socialist premises by repurposing state power, mobilizing identity, and rejecting individualism. The link is structural: Movements that subordinate individuals and the constitutional order to group grievance or tribal supremacy reliably produce authoritarian outcomes, whether in progressive or nationalist form.
