I thought Antifa was named for George Soros’s Aunt Faye. I think she baked cookies for the Sturmstrappen workers in 1941.
Antifa is Red supremacists.
Peace through violence? They say that?!?!

Peace through violence????!
“I’m starting a war for peace!”
I believe it is just a platform for petitions. The others you mention have different authors. If the platform itself was meant to be conservative, it has been infiltrated. At least they not practicing censorship which sets us apart from the commie goons.
Dem/Antifa/BLM/Islam connection funded by Soros.
And they lied about the ‘White Supremacist” BS. The organizer of OWS applied for a permit to invite “UNITE THE RIGHT” marchers in. He got Macauliife,and the mayor to invite Soros’s PAID THUGS to come in and thump them. The cops were told to stay away until a set time and made every decent person there a Democrat KKK adherent, a Nazi, or a bigot. Where is Sessions and the FBI? Democrats have gone from the party of slavery to the party of enslavement.
In your face CNN! Trump was right on at that news conference. Retract your attacks and apologise!
Scum sucking SOBs!!
I applaud their efforts and look forward to a follow up.
Anti-fascists are COMMUNISTS.
PERIOD.

The anti-fascist communist Americans that fought Franco in the Spanish Civil War were the beginning in this country.
They are still nothing but a bunch of violent communists, that have been allowed to run amok for far too long.
Trump has their number.
The Lincoln Brigades
Aftermath
During and after the Spanish Civil War, members of the brigade were generally viewed as supporters of the Soviet Union.
After returning to the United States, many joined the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade (VALB).
However, the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact caused a division among the Lincoln Brigade veterans. Some of them, adopting the official Communist line that regarded the war in Europe as “an imperialist war”, joined with the American Peace Mobilization in protesting U.S. support for Britain against Nazi Germany.
Others, however, persisted with the anti-Fascist line which they had followed to Spain. After the German invasion of the Soviet Union, the VALB changed its stance and fully backed the war. Former Lincoln-Washington commander Milton Wolff volunteered in 1940 for the British Special Operations Executive, and arranged the provision of arms for the European resistance organizations.
During World War II the U.S. government considered former members of the brigade to be security risks. In fact, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover requested that President Roosevelt ensure that former ALB members fighting in U.S. Forces in World War II not be considered for commissioning as officers, or to have any type of positive distinction conferred upon them.
In 1947, the Veterans of the Abraham Lincoln Brigade were placed on the Attorney General’s List of Subversive Organizations.
The Veterans would be one of only five groups that would stay intact, to at least 1970, after receiving this designation.
Once the US entered World War II, the Federal Bureau of Investigations recommended that all veterans of the Lincoln Battalion be denied military promotion as so as to prevent communists from rising in the armed forces. After World War II ended, veterans of the Lincoln Battalion were denied military enlistment, government jobs and, according to some, were even fired by their employers.
The House Un-American Activities Committee also blacklisted the names of all veterans of the Lincoln Battalion. Veterans were fired, denied housing and were refused passports for decades.
The FBI has denied that it maintained any files on the veterans of the Lincoln Battalion, but veterans groups claim that the federal government is merely covering up its crimes.
These are the same Left/Anarchy groups that attacked average American Trump supporters back during the election. They chased people and swarmed them when they got separated. They beat the hell out of people.
If you watch the videos they are cowardly in that they attack from behin and in numbers. However, they are vicious and they intend to maim.
The answer for this groups is not to get caught in a standoff with them. That is a losing proposition. They will incite and start the fight and simply let the PC politicians and Media accuse the defenders of being the racist problem.
We’re in a Cold Civil War now and we need to start thinking of Cold War tactics. Track them down at their residences.
Your la-di-da pose is nothing if not mocking.
Antifa attacks wherever they find a target.
Except in in your rarified world, at least according to you.
Got it from Islander7. It was his/her find and got me researching Anti-fa.
Antifa attacks wherever they find a target.
Except in in your rarified world, at least according to you.
I really do not understand.
Antifa clearly is not attacking randomly; they are attacking people who are peacefully assembling in support of non-socialist causes. Like many people, I choose not to go where Antifa is carrying out their acts of terror.
How is it mocking for me to say that I choose to be where Antifa is not?
Would you also think it is mocking if I say that I avoid going to Baltimore, especially certain areas of the city, for safety?
Antifa is the SA of the DNC.
So you are safe and life is good for you.
Enjoy the illusion.
I'm a he.
The 'Antifa' are hard core, revolutionary communists. Their roots are in Germany opposing the rise of NAZIs,
but it ain't cause they are the good guys. Just as in the middle east, there are bad guys and worse guys.
Enjoy the illusion.
Do you purposely go to places where there is a significant chance of becoming a victim of crime or terrorism? Or are you a big, strong man and therefore feel you can go anywhere without worry?
You see, I'm not a big, strong man--I'm a small woman. So I routinely think about safety and weigh risk before I decide to do anything.
And given the choice between attending a rally in DC, where Antifa militia members may be bussed in to attack unarmed peaceful citizens, or an art fair in town, which has never been the target of an anti-American militia, I chose to stay in town, even though my son wanted to go to DC.
The art fair was very nice. I found some artists who might be able to make jewelry out of the rocks I brought home from Mongolia last year.
