Brays book is many things: the first English-language transnational history of antifa, a how-to for would-be activists, and a record of advice from anti-Fascist organizers past and presenta project that he calls history, politics, and theory on the run. Antifa activists dont often speak to the media, but Bray is a former Occupy Wall Street organizer and an avowed leftist; he has intimate access to his subjects, if not much critical distance from them.

The print, broadcast, and digital media (we're talking global corporations) are openly abandoning any pretense of disciplined nonpartisanship. They're all throwing bottles of urine now.
I'm ever deeper into the contemptus mundi.
They are the American branch of a far left European group, originally a pre World War III violent Communist terror group in Germany, is my understanding. Essentially a leftwing version of the Nazis. Then parts of their group like the Baader Meinhof Gang killed a lot of people in Germany in the Sixties and Seventies.

Comrade Boobamba and his Brown Shirts probably would have gone all the way were it not for those “bitter” ones out there who cling to their God and their guns.
