To be fair, terminology now is really confusing. I'm still trying to figure out what is anti-fascist about antifa or that really has anything to do with their existence.
- alangibson 6y ago> what is anti-fascist about antifa Antifa is an anarchist direct action movement that tries to deny Fascist groups the ability to organize by basically beating the crap out of them when they try to get together. "Fascist" isn't a synonym for "politics I don't like".
- worik 6y agoHelpfully? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fascism
- jsight 6y agoSure, that's the textbook definition. But when I see them beating up folks, I don't necessarily see any evidence the recipients are fascists at all. So what do you call a group of people that unilaterally decide other people are fascists and then beat them up without any kind of due process, all in order to keep them from being able to "get together" and raise their voice? Authoritarian?
