Police across the United States are being forced to deal with a new hard-Left, communist-derived movement organized under the code word “Antifa,” standing for “Anti-Fascist.”
The violent, confrontational nature of Antifa anarchists presents a challenge to U.S. law enforcement that is unprecedented; they reject the free speech principles upon which civil discourse depends, while seeking to achieve the demise of the U.S. Constitution, as it holds as illegitimate any compromise with their communist worldview.
On June 12, 2017, the New Jersey Department of Homeland Security and Preparedness officially declared Antifa to be a terrorist group, explaining the following: “Anti-fascist groups, or ‘Antifa,’ are a subset of the anarchist movement and focus on issues involving racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism, as well as other perceived injustices.” The New Jersey DHS stressed that the Antifa movement is opposed to “fascism, racism, and law enforcement,” while targeting in particular far-right extremists, including perceived white supremacists.
Today, the Antifa movement that originally formed in Germany in the 1980s has taken root in the United States, with the goal of rubbing raw social and racial class tensions in order to delegitimize the U.S. Constitution, bring down the Trump administration, and cause the political chaos the Antifa movement believes will lead to the creation of a communist state here in the U.S.A.

Straight out of the RedTerror Reign. The #CRTL-Left takes that control part super seriously.
Praying that this be epidemic with all levels of law enforcement everywhere
The Left actually don’t copy communists, they ARE communists. Reactionary movements are forming against them, mainly because the “respectable right” has waffled between collusion and doing nothing.
That’s the best news I’ve read so far today.
Exactly. We’ve looked around and decided that guys like Jeb Bush have no chance when faced with this kind of thing.
The article failed to mention that this is all orchestrated by Valerie Jarrett in the basement of Barack Obama’s house. Other than that, a decent article.
Trump needs to designate them a domestic terror organization...

Give President Trump CREDIT for at last calling the extreme left hate groups yesterday.
Second it. Call all the hate groups that clashed down in Virgina domestic terror groups.

I would bet the butt-hurt POS community organizer has his hands all in this....VJ too.
Soros/Obama Brownshirts.
The main difference between Antifa/BLM and Weimar Communists is that von Hindenburg wasn’t actively encouraging the Communists, he and his government were just ineffective at suppressing them. In contrast, we had a President who for 8 years actively encouraged Antifa/BLM as a de facto paramilitary wing of his government.
That became ten times harder to do after Charlottesville.
Feels to me more like the Spanish republicans in the Spanish civil war
It was formed in Germany in the 30s, not the 80s. They were Communists, had black uniforms and the same flag they do now, and were given to street battles with the “Fascists,” real or imagined. Weimar couldn’t control them, and their insane violence led directly to the willingness of people to vote for somebody like Hitler, since he at least looked as if he promised stability. People will overlook at lot for stability and security.
I bet Soros gave history lessons.
