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.

That is what the honey is for!
I don’t. I 100% support the Second Amendment and respect the rights of those who do own guns. I’m actually feel much safer knowing that there are so many legal gun owners out there, in particular I believe that home invasions are significantly deterred by that. But it just happens to be the case that I’ve never personally felt a need for a gun for personal security, and I just didn’t grow up in a culture where they were around. It’s literally about as foreign to me as an armored tank probably is to you.
I love this, Republicans couldn’t ask for a better gift. This is going to decimate the Democrap party. I hope they get even more radical and hold up Democrap donkey signs.
They all look very young which tells me our schools are now indoctrinating the kids in communism 100%.
I like what Sheriff Joe Arpaio said: “The left wants everything for free. Free housing, free education, free food, free healthcare. We already have that. It’s called prison” LOL!
Only a 9mm. I would like to actually hit what I am shooting at.
Obviously they've failed to do their history homework. Communism is responsible for millions of deaths....of their own.
State control of every aspect of the citizens lives. This doesn't sound like a good fit for the liberal weenies who want to live their lives with no holds or barriers. Hmmm?
Do they really want the great nanny state? Do they really want to be told where to live, what rations you may have, permission to travel? So ya like to smoke a lil grass, pop an x tab now and again, perhaps a line of coke? How bout the death penalty for drug possession?
Good grief! Think for yourselves ya lil twits. Stop letting your professor whip you into a frenzy.
Thanks! Nice to know my eyes can still se a fake.
These people are nothing but a freakin joke. When the going gets tough they go home to mommys basement and hide under the covers. They only protest in liberal cities where the mayors and governors protect them.Take them out of their comfort zones and they are just another gang of punks.Would’nt take long to get rid of them once and for all. They’re a joke.
In Idaho, if you know how many guns you own, you don’t own enough.
