They write it on their web page. This makes people who are “not fascist, just anti-anti-fascist” out themselves.

I did poke around a bit to try and see if there was an explanation, or any explicitly anti-fascist features. I guess it is just intended as some kind of in-group identifying thing? I had thought maybe they were implying systemd was facist, as they stress that the distro doesn't use systemd.

I guess I assumed it would be a stronger connection, given that the distro is called "anti"-X and it's "anti"-facist, that it would have some explicit tor integration or something.

I think the subtext is some people associated systemd opposition to right wing politics (not fully unfounded if I understand) so the maintainers wanted to get out ahead of it when releasing another distro without systemd

I hesitate to ask, but can you provide some context for linking anti-systemd sentiment with fascism?

I checked out antixlinux.com to see and they don't explain it on the front page, About page, or on their FAQ
