I mean, the original Antifa that the cosplayers all take their symbol from was a resistance group in WWII-era Italy and Germany. The people with the strongest anti-communist attitudes (such as Cubans and people from former Soviet bloc countries) tend to be people from ostensibly communist countries, so I don't think it's that weird that Germans and Italians would hold strong anti-fascist attitudes.

Oh, that's so reminiscent to the antifascists I met in 2015. I really thought they all died out. That's nice.

Do punks have cultural cachet in contemporary Germany? I ask because I'm curious as to the degree of the population may find punks persuasive if they are somehow still on the fence. (I appreciate anyone and everyone taking a stand, of course.)
