Satire swerves into the truth of my fears about Antifa. They’re just commie street ruffians, albeit organized. Precisely the kind of people that caused the Nazi Party to form the SA in Hitler’s rabble-rousing days. Whoever pulls their strings knows this.
Antifa was actually formed as a rival to the Nazis in 1930s Germany. Of course they use the same tactics because they compete for the same kind of followers, just as they did back then. Since Antifa lost out to the Nazis in pre WWII Germany, they were never discredited in the same fashion. So they have been causing various amounts of trouble ever since, here and in Europe. They are especially active now, as they see their dreams of communist dictatorship slip away under Trump.
