fascist
'faschistisch' and 'antifaschistisch' are political opposites. 'faschistisch' describes something that belongs to fascism or shows its features, for example authoritarian leadership and oppression. 'antifaschistisch' describes an attitude, person, movement, or action that is actively directed against fascism. Important: 'antifaschistisch' does not simply mean 'not fascist', but usually means consciously opposed to it.
