- X6S1x6Okd1st 6y agoAs the ability to coallese around an idea instead of an organization increases due to the cost of communication continuing to drop I think we'll continue to see more and more actual movements that can not really be thought of as an organized movement. Occupy wall street was an actual movement, BLM has no centralized leadership, 2011 london riots were actually reasonably well coordinated, but lacked any centralized leadership.
- simonh 6y agoAntifa are very well organised and very much a real thing. Of course like minded people get involved locally as well, so there are probably a lot more people 'identifying as Antifa' than long term Antifa people, but they are a persistent organised group and some people are into it full time. Luis Enrique Marquez is a well known example.
- takeda 6y agoAntifa doesn't really have leadership, it doesn't even have set of rules to follow. There are even disagreements between people regarding their approach. It is just bunch of smaller groups that use the term to identify themselves.
- simonh 6y agoYes, I agree completely. I think those attributes, for a movement like that, are a strength. They're pretty effective at doing what they're aiming to do.
