First bursting into the headlines when they shut down far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos in February at the University of California at Berkeley, antifascists again captivated the public imagination by battling the fascists assembled at the “Unite the Right” white power rally in Charlottesville.
But what is antifa? Where did it come from? Militant anti-fascist or “antifa” (pronounced ANtifa) is a radical pan-leftist politics of social revolution applied to fighting the far right. Its adherents are predominantly communists, socialists and anarchists who reject turning to the police or the state to halt the advance of white supremacy. Instead they advocate popular opposition to fascism as we witnessed in Charlottesville.
The vast majority of anti-fascist organizing is nonviolent. But their willingness to physically defend themselves and others from white supremacist violence and preemptively shut down fascist organizing efforts before they turn deadly distinguishes them from liberal anti-racists.
Antifascists argue that after the horrors of chattel slavery and the Holocaust, physical violence against white supremacists is both ethically justifiable and strategically effective. We should not, they argue, abstractly assess the ethical status of violence in the absence of the values and context behind it. Instead, they put forth an ethically consistent, historically informed argument for fighting Nazis before it’s too late. As Cornel West explained after surviving neo-Nazi attacks in Charlottesville, “If it hadn’t been for the antifascists protecting us from the neo-fascists, we would have been crushed like cockroaches.”

In other words, a eunuch.
Who are the antifa?
Targets.
Apart from abortion, immigration, gun rights, gay rights, feminism, most economic issues, drugs, pornography, globalism, and the traditional family, Antifa and the Alt-right are pretty much the same thing.
The Washington Faggot Post. Who cares.
This goof is a reporter? The "modern" version dating to the 80s is a violent, left wing, communist terrorist group.
The genesis of today's Antifaschistische Aktion, they use the same name and flag, Antifaschistische Aktion. Formed with common membership in July 1932 since the KPD (communist) armed militia was banned in May. Hitler banned them like all political parties on assuming power so in the Antifa rather than communist identity they weren't long lived.
There’s lots of businesses who use Amazon to sell their wares. You can use Bezos’s Amazon to search for products, but you can cut them out by going directly to the sellers to buy.
Nice PR. If Hitler would have had the Washington Post, Goebbels would have been out of a job.
And the whitewashing begins.
Obama’s army.
That says Charlotte NC, the event happened in Charlottesville VA.
It’s best to capture a few of them and burn them in a cage on YouTube.
They need to know what they are starting.

Anarcho-syndicalism
A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.
In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.
Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.

Bill Ayers: "I considered myself partly an anarchist then and I consider myself partly an anarchist now. I mean, I'm as much an anarchist as I am a Marxist which is to say I find a lot of the ideas in anarchism appealing."
“The vast majority of anti-fascist organizing is nonviolent. But their willingness to physically defend themselves and others from white supremacist violence and preemptively shut down fascist organizing efforts before they turn deadly distinguishes them from liberal anti-racists.”
Hahaha! Revisionist history!
Washington Post are liars. President Trump did no such thing. He correctly said that Antifa is a hate group that employs violence. Ironically, no group in the United States more precisely embodies fascist behavior.

National Council of Churches
By Jacob Laksin

2005
Since its founding in 1950, the New York City-based National Council of Churches (NCC) has remained faithful to the legacy of its predecessor, the Communist front-group known as the Federal Council of Churches, which the NCC absorbed in 1950. At one time an unabashed apostle of the Communist cause, the NCC has today recast itself as a leading representative of the so-called religious Left.
Adhering to what it has described as “liberation theology”—that is, Marxist ideology disguised as Christianity—the NCC lays claim to a membership of 36 Protestant, Anglican and Orthodox Christian denominations, and some 50 million members in over 140,000 congregations. ...”

Surprised? NOPE!
Violent domestic terrorist Bill Ayers is officially linked to Antifa through his group “Refuse Fascism”.
I dont have a problem with fighting violence with violence but according to antifa, speech they dont agree with is violence and they feel justified in physically attacking people they disagree with. Antifa’s philosophy does not override the constitution or anyone else’s free speech.
anarchists by a new name.
Ridiculous. This is straight antifa propaganda. Antifa are bootlickers who want a cult police state taxing people of their speech to pay for their government education and indoctrination. There is nothing anarchic about them. They are bureaucrat lovers.
Antifa also love hierarchy and are inherently fascist. They simply use moral superiority to justify indulging in enslaving and murdering oponents they view as moraly inferior in a classic cultic manner not unlike that of political islam. In other words the moral superiority they ascribe to themselves allows them to violate their moral code! Just like aryan supremacists see a moral superiority in a white superior race to indulge in animalistic behaviors against their targets.
Watch what they do, not what they say, and what they do makes them a hate enslaving entitled group.
There you have it. They justify the use of violence against their political opponents. Nor are those opponents merely "fascists." As the radical Left has always done, they call anyone a fascist who disagrees with them. They have become what they are fighting. Antifa are fascists. President Trump is right.
