How can we take on these cartoon fascists if we're not even going to attempt to weed out and eliminate the fascist strains in our own house? And no, I'm not talking about some dumb white dudes on Stormfront, but actual systemic policies that are absolutely racist, sexist, and supremacist?

I'd say that the Golden Dawn are significantly more dangerous than the KKK and Stormfront.
Also: Imperialism, as bad as it is - is NOT the same thing as fascism and it's a false equivalency and intellectually lazy US foreign policy to fascism.
So as trendy as it is for leftists to type "Amerikkka" it's not useful in any political sense. Worse it actively undermines the anti-fascist cause, by watering down the popular perception of what is a VERY specific and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ideology to the point where Bill Oreilly can call student's who are protesting the Catholic Church's position on gays "fascist" and be taken seriously.
The more willing we are to move fascism out of the realm of REAL political ideology and into the realm of a generic word for "BAD PEOPLE" the easier we make it for fascism to spread and remain unrecognized in it's host country.
So in short, fuck leftist isolationism: aquatint these fucker's heads with the pavement is what I'm saying.
