An Antifa whistleblower going by the name Eric said Thursday on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that he left the now-designated terrorist organization after a decade due to “pressure” and “ostracization” from other members.
On Sept. 17, President Donald Trump announced the designation of militant far-left network Antifa as a terrorist organization and called for investigations into its financial backers. Fox’s Jesse Watters asked Eric, who wore a face mask to protect his identity, whether the organization’s ideology was “full blown communism.”
“I mean, a lot of it is. So a lot of it is — these are accelerationism. It’s not the slow march to the institutions. It is, ‘We want this, and we want it now,'” Eric said. “One of the reasons that I got out of it is probably around 2014, 15, we started seeing groups come up to Seattle and Portland from California, and they were much more like, ‘Hey, you better get in line with this,’ and if you’re not, there’s consequences and there’s pressure.”
While Antifa has existed since 2007, the group gained widespread attention online during the 2020 riots, playing a major role in several Democratic-led cities, including Seattle and Portland. Trump vowed in May 2020 to classify Antifa as a terrorist organization following major riots.
Watters asked Eric whether he was being “forced to take violent action” as a member.
“Oh, not only that, but there was pressure, there was ostracization, things of that nature where you might get into it, say, because you don’t like bigotry in the music scene,” Eric said. “And then later on, it’s, ‘You’re gonna adhere to these tenets, and you’re gonna say and think these ways.’ And if you’re on the fence at all, ‘Silence is violence’ and, ‘Your comrades are gonna become a problem for you,’ you know?”
Prior to explaining why he left the group, Eric said he had been recruited into Antifa as a freshman in high school. He said that while violence was a “perk” of being part of the group, his early role mostly involved recruiting other young members.
While living in Seattle, Eric said that by the time the 1999 riots occurred, he was “ready to go.”
“I had little Molotov cocktails in my bedroom and a copy of the Anarchist Cookbook that I had photoshopped or photocopied at the time from a friend of mine’s older brother,” Eric said. “At the time, I’m like, ‘Oh, this is just a good time.’ It’s only later on that you get more involved with the ideas, the philosophies, the direct- action ideologies that go deeper into later on becoming like a full-blown anarcho-communist and syndicalist.”
As part of Trump’s recent crackdown on Antifa, he announced Saturday the deployment of troops to Portland to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities from the group.

If Antifa stands for anti-fascist how come they are financed by the last living Nazi?
Even gay antifa hit the wall.
It is the same evil spirit.
It is also of the spirit of anti-Christ and it did not die in the fuhrerbunker in April of 1945.
… “ At the time, I’m like, ‘Oh, this is just a good time.’ ” …
The proper term for this is “ useful idiot” .
1999 riots?
Soros?
1999 WTO riots in Portland.
You probably don't remember them because like most leftist violence it is not repeatedly talked about in the media.
Yes Schwartz ‘soros’ and all those serving him, an overlay, and I say this not to point out that he is Jewish, but that evil spirits have greater authority from being rebuked and cast out if their ‘name’ is not revealed, kept hidden or not immediately called into mind, far away from praying believers. This kind will not come out without much prayer and fasting Jesus said.
A ‘Beast’ is the institutionalized part even where codified into national Law and is not easily overcome without conflict and War.
Lookup ‘Operation Paperclip’ and others, showing how that Nazi beast anti-Christ spirit was brought to America after WW2 and I believe has evolved into the now generational installed evil and power and workings of “the Blob” Deep State.
Matches with what I saw in 2010 in Portland.
A bit surprised he was recruited in HS.
Why are Stalin and Mao and even pol pot ignored
Worse than Hitler in numbers and proportion
Oh - I had completely forgotten about them.
At the time I couldn’t figure out why the city was being so congenial to them… quaint now.
Hitler, for all his faults, was fiercely anti-communist. So Stalin becomes a friend, as does Mao, and as we all know the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
No. He wasn't.
He did not like the Russians but socialism was the fascist goal. He thought it should be run from Germany where it originated and Russia thought it should be run from Russia where it first succeeded.
I miss the days when we could all just DANCE IT OUT like the Jets and the Sharks.
But, Tony still ended up dead, so maybe not...
Soros wasn’t a Nazi.
He was a coward.
Just like Stalin or Mao.
If you were not under control of the "maximum leader" you were not sufficiently "communist" or "socialist" or "facist". They are all slightly different versions of a society which is totalitarian in nature.
“’I mean, a lot of it is. So a lot of it is — these are accelerationism. It’s not the slow march to the institutions. It is, “We want this, and we want it now,”’ Eric said.”
Accelerationism: common ideology and tactic of Nazis and Antifa (=Profa).
Homage to Catalina shows how these groups are all the same and they all hate each other.
Somewhat like the mohammedans come to think of it.
