See my FR Home page for just about all you’d want to know about today’s communist-anarchist protest groups.
Vague political designations like alt right or alt left are ripe for causing confusion at best, and being deliberately used to conflate political opponents with univesisally condemned groups at worse. When snaping like rabid hyenas the media tried using alt right to equivocate between Trump suppoeters and white racists. Trump coined the term alt left to illustrate to the brain dead reporters how their thinking was sloppy. But they were too stupid or had their heads too far up their butts to take the meaning. Its pathetic to see these morons are paid attention to by anyone.
Antifa in Europe and here, in America, go much father back than Trump even throwing his hat into the ring in '15!
And these little BROWN SHIRTS have been destroying property and beating people, at every almost every single G-20, G-7, and other such events.
Hell, they will set fires, chant, break windows and skulls at the drop of a hat. They are against Capitalism, companies of every sort, banks, and even the commemoration Veterans' Day and lefty pols! They are also against college/university tuition hikes,
anti-neo-nazi
lot of hyphens to say Old School Communist despots
Since when do commies like liberal democracy? What’s next the sun rises in the morning?
Bfl
Where do they get their funding from? I’m sure some are mom & dad backed(if they know it or not), plus a few with jobs. There are still many that seem too organized for the commie grass-roots crowd, and they show up everywhere. Kind of like Trustifarians, but without the RangeRovers.
The guy pretty much called a turd a rose - wonder how deep he keeps his nose in it.
The “hard right” to those folks is anyone who supported Trump—make no mistake about that.
First paragraph says, basically:
A loose group of non-associated people with a common goal and no national leadership - oh, wait - here is one of their national leaders who wrote their basic manifesto and field policy guide.....
I mean. What? How stupid are journalists.
So why isn’t antiFA (anti 1st A) being investigated and put through the ringer by the myriad of government agencies like 0bama had done to the TEA Party?
There is no white nationalist movement going on. So, I guess Anitifa can go home now. Seriously, where when and who claimed a white nationalist movement was on the rise? It’s made up crap.
This is, like it was on the Washington Post, more white washing of Antifa.
They may have adopted what they think are tactics of early European “anti-fascists”, but in the current American context, they are not attacking just anyone that may rightly be considered Neo Nazi, or racist, or “white supremacists”
They are attacking any and every “Conservative” view as “fascist” and attempting to smear anything to the left of Left as “fascist”.
Articles like that in Vox are helping them get away with the pretense that Antifa is “anti fascist”. They are merely “pro militant Left” period.
It is the old trick the Marxists played in Europe, branding anyone to their Left as “fascist” after the rise of Mussolini and Hitler. On the scale of authoritarians who is worse? They’re the same.
