Abstract:	The presence of the nazi boneheads in a multicultural working-class neighbourhood, and the resistance against them — it’s all part of the war at home. The war is hitting a new high after September 11, with Bill C-36, the bombing of impoverished Afghanistan, Molotov cocktails thrown at mosques and south Asian kids being attacked at school. But it’s an old war in Canada. The colonial invasion of the Americas; police control over communities of colour; oppression of women, queers and disabled people through the medical establishment; Christian hegemony — all these systems of oppression coming from the top down have also generated their own mass support in our society. That mass base finds expression in the neo-nazi and fascist movements on the streets.
