> The DHS appears to define antifa broadly, to encompass various left-wing tendencies: “[A]ntifa is driven by a mixed range of far-left political ideologies, including anti-capitalism, communism, socialism, and anarchism.” In two cases, evidence of antifa affiliation was limited to photos taken in front of an antifa flag. As the intelligence report itself notes, “ANTIFA claims no official leadership,” raising questions about whether antifa even exists in any sort of operational capacity.

- retox 6y agoIf antifa isn't an organisation as they claim, then any organisation employing the same tactics can be defined broadly to be antifa adjacent. If a group claims not to be nazi, but its members are photographed with nazi flags, are they a nazi organisation or not?
- rudolph9 6y agoIt’s not a group. It doesn’t have members. These protests have upward of 20,000 people marching on a single day. What does an antifa flag even look like? Furthermore, AG and POTUS are not calling Nazis terrorists, they are calling people who march in protests and can be loosely tied to individuals who burn garbage terrorists. They are using this as legal justification to violate the privacy of American citizens.
