The contribution analyses the historical and the present fundamentals of anti-Fascism. In present-day Germany there exist organisation-, action- and discourse-oriented kinds of anti-Fascism. Most of all the political party Die Linke champions anti-Fascism, as becomes obvious, among other aspects, from their support of including an anti-Fascism clause into the Basic Law and the constitutions of the Federal States. The author rejects anti-Fascism, yet he speaks out in favour of anti-extremism as an alternative.
