Apparently AntiFa are simply old school Communists.

I see little difference between communism and fascism. Both are godless, mass-murdering, tyrannical totalitarian forms of government where the people have no rights.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Yes, their symbol is a direct copy of the `1930’s symbol for the communists in Italy.

grand nephew of Ernst Rohm. It doesn't come up that much.

Given Rohm's proclivities, he would have had to have been a nephew.

you know what the Berlin Wall official communist name was?

They called it the “Anti Fascist Protection” wall

Interesting - I did not know that. It sounds like from the Communists' point of view, the term "fascist" is almost as flexible as the word "racist" is to our own political left. Right now, the Communist/Antifa/Progressive crowd seems to consider anyone who opposes their collectivist ideology to be a "fascist" - especially those who are willing to actually fight.

Now you figure that out? They’re no different from the Spartacists that fought the Freicorps after WWI. Well, they are not as competent and lack the leavening of vets the Spartacists had, but you get the idea.

I knew they were ideologically the same. I just didn't think they were so stupid as to use the original communist flags used back in 1930s Germany.

But on the other hand, the media certainly isn't going to tell anyone that these symbols came from Socialist Germany, and were the rivals of the Nazis.

The Soviet Story - YouTube

The soviets called Poland and Finland 'fascists' to justify the invasion of their countries.

Nazism and communism are turds of a mass murdering feather.

Exactly. Now if we could only get the media to broadcast this fact on the television screen. The public needs to know about this.

Exactly. Look to the East. There’s a reason Anita Dunn was praising Mao. The rest were mere paupers compared to Mao Tse-Tung.

Oh-h-h! Bring out the old banners that say...”KILL A COMMIE FOR MOMMY!”

We got a target rich environemt!

Technically the “Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart (German: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall)”. From Wikipedia no less; no fans of capitalism themselves.

I just call them commies. It is more accurate and needs no explanation.

And communists have murdered sixty million people over the ages - Antifa has no moral authority to judge anyone for anything.....

I believe the number is closer to 100 million. I think Mao alone killed 60 million. Stalin at least 20-30 Million. Khmer Rouge I think did about 2 million.

But yes, other than Islam, Communism has killed more people in history than any other ideology. (except Islam)

[Intolerant in NJ]

Well, I aim low - once you get above about twenty million you’ve safely outnumbered what Hitler and the KKK combined managed to accomplish, and that lets the communists outweigh the nasty “right-wingers” in this game of moral superiority we seem to be caught up in......</I>

If only we had a broadcasting system where the public could be informed about the History of socialism, both the International and the National kind.

Add in Hitler's death toll, and the Socialist body count is easily over a hundred million, but you can't get such information on the air because the liberal censors who control the broadcasting system, will not allow it.

Fascism and communism are the same thing. Just two party groups struggling for power. They are totalitarian, morally evil and deadly.

Add in Hitler's death toll, and the Socialist body count is easily over a hundred million, but you can't get such information on the air because the liberal censors who control the broadcasting system, will not allow it...that's the shrewdness of their targeting the journalists and schools to control what the public is allowed to learn, see, and hear. There are a few good conservative sources around like Newsmax, One America News, and Mark Levin's internet outlet, but of course they're so fragmented and restricted in distribution that they don't seem to have much impact. I keep hoping some multi-billionaire conservative will swoop down and pull the bunch together or buy one of the more embattled big three broadcast networks and finally give us strong and consistent conservative voice, but it doesn't look likely yet.
Of course even were we to have an outlet for this kind of information, it's always kind of challenging to understand how Socialist leftwing Nazis manage to be portrayed as conservative right-wingers all the time by the left. Dinesh D'Souza was on TV the other day talking about his new book "The Big Lie" and said that after WWII as the news of German atrocities like the concentration camps was spreading, the left knew they would have a problem if the Nazis were linked to them ideologically, and they began a deliberate effort to propagandize that Nazism was a rightwing movement. That was probably a well-orchestrated effort aided by deceitfulness like academic studies on the "authoritarian personality". Researchers found that conservatives valued things like "order", "structure", and "consistency" in their lives. Of course, for conservatives this was operationalized in such things as the rule of law and freedom from the capriciousness of being ruled by a dictator. Lefties turned it around and linked conservatives to ideas such as the wish to be given specific directions in their life and desire to be ruled by a strong leader - like, say, Hitler. The whole process was subtle and deceptive, and difficult to grasp under the best of circumstances......
