The article does not argue to march with fascists, but to connect with the non-fascists the fascists are trying to connect wih as well. As the article argues, the protest turned into something very different from fascist.
Also, I did mind when facebook banned blackface, because i knew it would be followed with the banning of anarchst pages. Which it did. It's really stupid strategy to let states and other hostile institutions get away with stuff like that just because it targets things we dont like as well, because it sets the stage for them then attacking what we do like and even ourselves directly.
I have been shocked by how unprinciples many anarchists and leftists have been regarding things like police violence and massive state intrusion into our lives, just because we happen to not agree with the people the police is beating up or we agree with (part of) what the government is trying to get people to do. Its bad politics, bad strategy, and downright bullshit. Your ptinciples dont count for anything if you dont stick by them when the situation gets a bit more complex.
