Antifa may be good at tactics and intimidation, but for the long game, they’re dumb as f***. If communism truly does succeed in America, they will be just as dead as we will be. The commie leaders won’t want these people getting violent on THEM.
AntiFa is just a tool to raise fear and trepidation in the country, they are a "means to an end" for the political party that owns them.
Why ?
The Dims thrive in chaos that they foment : arson, murder, rape, autonomous areas, etc., where the rule of law no longer exists.
Dims thrive in lawlessness : you need to look no further than recent activities of the FBi, NS-aye, CI-aye, Just-us dept., and other government organs.
What is their purpose: have the populace demand security at any cost -> centralized Fed. govt. control of police and law enforcement, eliminate guns and all forms of self-defense.
Chances are that many of the AntiFa are confidential informants (CI), or active members of the law enforcement community, or government entities.
In government circles it is called :"justifying your budget".
