So-called '''anti-war''' movements typically disguise [[partisan]]ship as [[pacifism]].  

Since World War II, the anti-war movement in America has been almost exclusively partisan, saying that the United States was supporting the wrong side or was itself the [[aggressor]]. In some extreme cases, adherents to the anti-war ideology have even gone as far as to falsely label anyone who even has a military at all, let alone go to war and/or have significant military buildup, as fascists in a false equivalence to the Nazis during World War II.

In some extreme cases, adherents to the anti-war ideology have even gone as far as to falsely label anyone who even has a military at all, let alone go to war and/or have significant military buildup, as fascists in a false equivalence to the Nazis during World War II (usually also with the similarly false association of Nazism with the right wing and conservatism).

Thus the term ''anti-war'' is often used specifically to indicate political opposition to America's war aims, notably during the [[Vietnam War]] and the invasion of Iraq. While reminiscent of [[pacifism]], the "anti-war" movement is not opposed to war ''per se'', but only America's involvement in it.
