The Austin based Anti-fascists group, Red Guards Austin, has been gaining prominence in the Texas Antifa movement. As we have previously reported, they are a self described autonomous Marxist-Leninist-Maoist collective and their website contains multiple reports on their confrontational and often armed demonstrations.
They also openly advocate for violent revolution against capitalism.
“we must seriously take up the task not only of self-defense on the personal and community level, but we must also struggle to unite all genuine antifascists behind the necessity of revolution. Revolution means the long fight for communism and nothing less.”
In a recent blog titled “Everywhere a Battlefield“, this trend continues as they claim “The war is not coming—it is here and now” and then discuss the need for weapons training and more “revolutionary violence”.
“The war is not coming—it is here and now. We must take our historic task seriously. We must accumulate forces and steel them in small-scale street battles. We must respond accordingly to the apocalyptic reality that capitalism-imperialism has forced on us.”
“So what does self-defense mean for the rest of us? What does it mean for enemies of the state? It can only mean that we must develop red physical culture. It means that we must contend for ground that has been ceded to the enemy. That we train in both hand-to-hand combat and in weapons. We must take community self-defense seriously. We must walk away from the comfort zone of the legal left, and by extension it means that those who protect them are sure to attack us. It means that we return to our filthy neighborhoods of cramped apartment complexes and organize right there among our class. It means that we choose the field of combat thoughtfully and not out of uninventive and timid habit. We cannot expect a mass antifascist movement to develop its necessarily revolutionary character unless we move away from the state-ordained protest zones.
“Reclaiming violence means making revolutionary violence available to be utilized by all types of comrades at all levels and all abilities. It means training physically in flexible ways applied to the specific conditions of specific groups. Everyone, regardless of ability, can improve. This is not to do away all at once with the division of violent labor; the science of revolutionary violence is universal, and it must at the same time be applied with great care to the specific. In this process of trial and error we sharpen and broaden our skillsets. Martial arts, firearms, and sports must be seen as cultural battlefields as well as invaluable tools in our revolutionary toolkit.”
For months, militant antifa groups have been engaging in targeted political violence. They claim they exist to fight racists, bigots, and white supremacists; and their allies in the media often echo these claims. But if the actions from the Red Guards Austin is any indication, this is nothing more than a public relations campaign to recruit moderates. Their end goal is communism, a political ideology responsible for over 94 million deaths in the 20th century.

I’m outta range and they’re in range ...... silly commies.
Always be carrying and shoot to kill. It’s just a matter of time.
Good afternoon (EDT).
I understand where you are coming from. I would feel naked without a firearm however. I have been carrying since I was 18.
Quick story. I an another FReeper (if he is still with us), were in Turkey circa 1977. Jimmah Carter issued blanket order through the chain of command that no military personnel would be armed outside the wire.
Well, the detachments, air and naval bases were experiencing casualties. The PKK was primarily responsible.
About 6 months before we left, if we went downtown etc., you had to go with an NCO (who was armed against orders).
The casualty rate dropped dramatically.
Peanut man was a disaster.
5.56mm
Bttt.
5.56mm
Yes, they are actually right. It seems they like guns also.
Good thing we still have ours and my guess is we can out-shoot them.
Some how I believe these wanna be bad a$$es would not be as bold if they confronted some real bad a$$es. I feel when the lead started flying there would be a lot of soiled panties
The group image on top appears to have been possibly photo shopped.
I tend to agree.
Without a doubt. They know that the police, whom they hate with a passion, would be there to protect them. Also the media with their cameras and reporting.
It will be an extremely short CW2.
They'd look really silly with a sphincter in their foreheads. {:0)
I hope that all good people recognize that Antifa will do anything, no matter how crude or violent, and protect themselves accordingly.
Good!
;D
Send them to Venezuela.
Then you understand when I say “Porcupines”.
;)
Geesh. I really need to start training myself again with the pistol. Got enough ammo to start, but just haven’t even cleaned the gun.
Can’t afford to move and everything I know is here.
:(
“Survivors of Communism Remember”
100 Million Corpses in 100 Years

The Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation has started an online museum dedicated to educating visitors about the negative effects of the political philosophy. Its current exhibits include a virtual tour of the Gulag and a gallery of heroes who fought against communism.
Edwards also is starting a nine-lesson high school curriculum focused on communism, which will be used for the first time at the Heights School in Potomac, Md.
Such a curriculum is necessary when eighth graders are choosing their favorite inspirational quotes from the likes of Mao and Fidel Castro, Edwards said, citing a school in Chicago where students picked quotes from Communist dictators for a “Celebrate the Value of You” bulletin board.
The foundation also has plans for a museum, though it will be a challenge with costs estimated at $100 million.
