In CA, 101 acts as that wall between PA and EPA. The differences are more subtle: less trees. https://goo.gl/maps/c6t8e6dtHbn https://goo.gl/maps/c6t8e6dtHbn

In CA, 101 acts as that wall between PA and EPA. The differences are more subtle: less trees. https://goo.gl/maps/c6t8e6dtHbn https://goo.gl/maps/c6t8e6dtHbn Trees are one of the major factors affecting property value. If antifa really wanted to attack the 1%, they would covertly kill trees around the richest folks' homes and start fast-food franchises nearby.

Antifa is anti-fascist not anti-wealth. The are a lot of leftists who are both, but they are not the same thing. Antifa groups don’t protest Republican political rally’s, for example.

  Right/left is a divide-and-conquer gambit. There are rich Democrats and rich Republicans whom are nearly indistinguishable in action and vary only on minor supposed values, both wings of as Gore Vidal called it, "The Property" party. The non-ideological property owners hedge bets on both team D and team R, and really don't care which win, so long as they keep voting for their interests first. Antifa is fail because they're usually usurped by anarchists and hooligan mobs whom don't know whom they're fighting other than brands and slogans... like tilting at windmills. The enemy of 99% and the planet is most definitely the rich... not D, not R, not Chevron, not [insert astroturfing group] but those whom powerful people whom pull more of the strings to corrupt government in their favor.

  Antifa isn't any more "anti-fascist" than the People's Democratic Republic of (North) Korea is a "democratic republic", or than old-school Pravda contained truth. They are violent communists. P.S. there haven't been any real fascists for, like, 70 years. So, mission accomplished then?

    Wikipedia: Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism,[1][2] characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy,[3] which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. Putin? Dictatorial power: yes, suppression of opposition: yes, forcible regimentation of society and of the economy: yes, radical ultranationalism: yes.

      I have not noticed any "antifa" "protests" in Moscow, have you? Wikipedia is a poor source for such definitions, by the way. It reflects the political agenda of the last person to edit the page. In fact, fascism (and national socialism in general) are heresies of socialism. Fascists are only "on the right" if you're Stalin. Fascism and communism have far more commonalities than they have differences. For example, Mussolini was a high official in the Italian Socialist party until he broke with the "international" socialists during WWI, and switched to his own brand of "national" socialism. Neither type of socialism has much in common with the classical liberalism that has historically been the guiding philosophy of the United States. In practice, "fascist" today appears to simply mean "someone who isn't a communist".

> If antifa really wanted to attack the 1% They don't, as such. The Anti-Fascist movement overlaps very strongly with (and was originally a project of) various far-left communist/socialist groups, but it's rather central to the point of that project that it is a unifying front in which cooperation can occur with people who don't share the broader politico-economic agenda of the groups who established the movement.
