The problem is that "anti-fascist" has been co-opted by Antifa [1] which have been designated as a terrorist organisation [2].

I think if it was "anti-communist"/"anti-marxist" it would be equally not appropriate for an OS.

That is very much an American problem. The founder of Antix is Greek and it would be appropriate to interpret anti-fascist in the context of Greece and its history. It is very obvious he means something any decent person would oppose.

Why do Americans expect us all to conform to their culture and vocabulary? I am really fed up of this.
