Also: Here is an account of anti-communist anti-authoritarians singing The Internationale in 1989 when in police custody. Odd they would sing that when you characterized the song as a singularly communist anthem. One possibility is that every anti-authoritarian member of Capitalized Antifa isn't a communist after all. https://books.google.com/books?id=so474D6P9LsC&pg=PA22&lpg=PA22&dq=east+germans+them+sang+The+Internationale+in+police+custody&source=bl&ots=i3f9Armq5C&sig=ACfU3U1n_zXrEs-7EnB2FVZnF7Jg17Wopg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjusMmA2__pAhWHSjABHdJ0BQkQ6AEwAnoECCcQAQ#v=onepage&q&f=false https://books.google.com/books?id=so474D6P9LsC&pg=PA22&lpg=P...

Yes, there are people who subscribe to it without understanding what it really means. I think I pointed this out a couple of posts upward. Such people are often called "useful idiots" by those who really understand what's going on and have an actual goal. 1917 revolution in Russia was mostly carried out by useful idiots, tens of millions of whom have died afterwards of famine and repressions.

  So only the people who "have an actual goal" is who Antifa consists of? Or just Antifa "leadership" I'm just not totally understanding why anti-X necessarily has to shoot past center to pro-Y.

    "So" followed by a completely made up version of what you think I was saying is a tell for cognitive dissonance. It's pointless to engage after this point.

      Certainly not, it's that if one follows your tenuous logic down it's path it falls apart badly without you being willing to clarify the things I asked. My guess is just that you're so deeply anti-communist and pro-capitalism, that even anti-fascism is offensive to you. Just looks like indoctrination to me, but again I do welcome you to point me to wherever the capitalized Antifa violent communist group is posting. That would clear everything up.
