The Red Army Faction, or Baader Meinhof gang as the left-wing urban guerrilla organisation was also known terrorized Germany from the late-1960s onwards. Their declared war against “fascist imperialism” was driven by a conviction that capitalist West Germany was a US puppet state run by former Nazis.
This German Antifa is just a reiteration of that old gang, getting back together.
They have formed a “de facto” alliance with the Islamic thugs that have infested Germany. Islam as an ideology is a very crude form of socialism, and highly receptive to the camaraderie.
But then, all of socialism is pretty crude as an ideology.
Sorry for the double post...
