"On Sunday, right-wingers are planning to stage a 'No to Marxism in America' rally in Berkeley, where I live. I propose we mass on Memorial Glade dressed in white sheets and clown noses. Let there be jugglers, acrobats and dancing. Let a band of neon-Nazis don bright pink clothing to goose-step on Sproul Plaza. Let there be public readings of 'The Sneetches' by Dr. Seuss, with costumed Sneetches acting out the parts. Add in pro-inclusion art exhibits, diversity poetry slams and comedic skits. The form of the performance is secondary; the point is to rob the rightists of attention."
Zachary Shore in the Los Angeles Times recommends using ridicule to battle neo-Nazis.
