(22,369 posts)9. Those who fought in the Spanish Civil War
in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade were sometimes called "premature anti fascists", This was intended as a slur, similar to "alt-left":
During the United States Red Scare after the end of World War II, the term "premature anti-fascist" came into currency to describe Americans who had strongly agitated or worked against fascism, such as by fighting for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War, before fascism was seen as a proximate and existential threat to the United States (which only occurred generally after the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and universally after the attack on Pearl Harbor). The implication was that such persons were Communists or Communist sympathizers whose loyalty to the United States was suspect.
