"The Red Warriors emerged as one such group, originating in Paris in 1986. They were a leftist hardcore collective that actively sought out and confronted fascists during the period when the ideology was gaining traction in the region. Comprising 14 members, their initial objective was to counter what they perceived as the growing presence of fascism on the streets. 

Joining the Red Warriors required meeting a notably high threshold. Prospective members had to have achieved at least one championship title in their respective fighting or martial arts discipline. The Red Warriors consisted of individuals skilled in various disciplines such as kickboxing, boxing, Kung Fu, Sanshou, and more."

Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like they were re-fighting WW2 in the streets of France during the 80s.
