I think he means Antifa, which is not an organisation but more of a network or movement. And no, not "most" would call them a "terrorist group".

- ceeceecee 7y agoWhat's your definition of a terrorist organization? Antifa uses violence against opponents, vandalism, and arson to extort political concessions. There may not be global/regional leaders like in other terror groups, but people identify as being a member of the group and coordinate their efforts among each other.
- glogla 7y agoAntifa is well explained in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bgwS_FMZ3nQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bgwS_FMZ3nQ Antifa means antifascist action - when there's fascists doing things, antifa appears to rry to stop them from doing fascist things. Antifa has no leaders and no real membership because it's just people standing against fascism. If someone identifies as a member, they are wrong and possibly fake.

- glogla 7y agoI suppose that as long as you ignore both their methods, goals and who are they fighting against, there would be similarities. I'm not convinced of the usefulness of such excercise, though.
- tpmx 7y agoGoals and values, sure, they are obviously different. Methods? Not so sure there's a big difference.
- FDSGSG 7y agoDo you genuinely believe this? If yes, would you care to expand further on this? I'm utterly fascinated and would love to hear more background on what leads you to believe that this comparison is apt.
- glogla 7y agoYou're not sure there's not a big difference between organising protests, and hitting building with airplanes or commiting bombing that killed thousands of people? Really?
- tpmx 7y agoBye.
