"Although one might fault the Germans for not having acted decisively enough against a now-obvious danger, what is happening in our country is even more appalling. The reaction to our brutal hellraisers has been virtually nonexistent. And the most pusillanimous response may be the one from authorized conservative celebrities and organizations, which seem to believe that they may quiet the raging storm by shaming those who fought for “the Cause” 150 years ago. I do not believe it’s coincidence that Conservative Inc. has decided to go after all things Confederate while so-called anti-racist rioters are destroying our cities."

The Anarchist movement, birthed in Portland during the 1990s, has had a long-standing goal of forcing American politics as far left as possible.
The Democrat Party has gave in and now works in tandem with the so-called “antifa” Anarchists.
Fascists while claiming they anti-Fascists. Neat.
Good. Let’s hope they never get smarter and start planning.
The antifascist left,??
They began as Anti First Amendment and Proudly Proclaimed everywhere that Speech was Violence! They came up with ANTIFA, but when they were called out for being Anti First Amendment, they then said that the Speech they claimed was Violence was really Fascist. That is when they changed the definition.
They are nothing but a pack of Rabid Dogs and should be treated as such.
You say you want a revolution, maoist crackers? Be careful what you wish for. American forces may join up here in America.

How does Antifa define fascism?
To them, capitalism equals fascism.
Does it make sense now?
They don’t have a plan because their minds don’t work that way. It’s all about their all-precious self-esteem and instant gratification.
But Trump threatened to declare Antifa a terrorist organization, right? Whatever that means. They seem to be doing just fine.
They are the direct action wing of the Democrat Party. They do not need a plan, just some orders and a bunch of thrill seeking hangers on.
Thanks for posting this. I took some courses from the author at the university circa 1970.
A few thousand people who have no end game are doing the violence. This is their peak right now. Their numbers aren’t growing. The localities allowing it are the big losers.
They are no danger to the government.
“Antifa: Nazis Without a Plan”
partly (maybe mostly) because they have no Hitlerian leader for their movement ... at this stage of the game, all they’ve got is Dementia Joe ...

It's political. Antifa/BLM are Campaign 2020. Stay distracted with the circus and don't dwell on the dismal slate of candidates. The reason for the very limited response is twofold. One is that the managers of the mayhem want a Kent State type of incident to use for the campaign; or as an alternative they contiune to disrupt until election day. Trump has sent in federal officers, not troops. The officers are law enforcement officers from Federal agencies, not National Guard, Army or Marines. Article 4, Section 4 provides, "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union . . . on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic violence." The riots are domestic violence in areas where the governors and mayors explicitly state they neither need, not want, Federal assistance. The State legislatures have not applied for Federal assistance. We see the mayhem as the politicians impersonate Keven Bacon saying "All is well!" Should Trump send in troops, rest assured Lawfare has litigation crafted that would be quickly ready for submission to Federal court.
This is not just rabble in the street. Those are just the useful idiots. Some only want to peacefully protest for social justice reasons. Their effort has been co-opted. There is a fully funded, legally assisted, management team behind the main political effort. Perhaps they should be chanting "This is what community organizing looks like!" There is organization behind the mayhem.
The "Lost Cause" nonsense does not explain tearing down monuments to Washington, Jefferson, Columbus, or a monument paid for by freedmen to honor Lincoln, dedicated by Frederick Douglass. The powers behind this are generating mayhem for political purposes. Useful idiots are being used and exploited in the process. Considered and meaningful grievances are being melted into the mayhem, to serve the greater bad, and are marginalized or lost.
The powers behind this are not the public faces of Antifa but the people responsible for the funding and the legal assistance.
As for the milque-toast response of some nominally Republican or conservative organizations or people, Trump has never been a party insider. He connected with the people, not the party PTB. Within the GOP are the RINOs, and within the conservatives are the neo-conservatives who have little to do with conservatism. Consider the conservative republican support of the Bushes, Romney, Paul Ryan, and the like.
Antifa are not Nazis; ideologically, they are communists and, more specifically, Maoists. Anyone who conflates the two has no understanding of history. Hitler perverted the German identity; but Mao completely obliterated “old” China. Another vast difference between Hitler and Mao was who they put in charge—Hitler relied on coopting traditional leaders while Mao substituted brainwashed college students who worshipped him.
His Red Guard attacked and systematically demolished all of Chinese culture without remorse or reflection. To be pro-China meant one was anti-communist, and to be anti-communist meant torture, prison or death.
Antifa are simply America’s Red Guards, (funded by global elites and your tax dollars) and they have a plan. It’s just too incredible for most Americans to believe: the complete and utter destruction of this country and a repudiation of every value it for which it stands.
Those who mistake their entire movement as just a bunch of dumb kids need to read up on Chinese history:
