In the interests of balance, I wonder if there is a term for anti-fascist that has a positive connotation rather than the pejorative 'anti'.

I'm sure they see themselves as kind and gentle people of sweet nature and impeccable manners, as having a liking for the Lords Byron and Tennyson and William Wordsworth and the like. 'Anti' is nowadays always used to put a bad colour on something and way beyond the opposite equivalent of 'pro'.
