ANTIFA the meaning

Ok let’s get this Straight it’s short for Anti Facist, so presumably those who talk about being against Antifa are Pro fascist?

You might as well class everyone who fought against the Nazis in WW2 as ANTIFA

I suspect many of the people here are also ANTIFA, because they believe in democracy and freedom against tyranny and also protecting the weak and vulnerable.

So to those who believe ANTIFA is some left thing it really isn’t, it’s more a morally decent do the right thing movement.

Time to claim the word back from the fascist terrorists who use it as slur.

Just saying....

Actions speak louder than words. They can claim to be anti fascist, and they can say anyone against them is a fascist because ‘it’s in our name’. It doesn’t mean a thing when they repeatedly engage in violence to intimidate, abuse and silence their opponents - the tools of actual fascists.

They chose their name very carefully precisely so people would make the same equivalence you have.

But you interpret it how you like, I’ll do the same.

There have been long running misinformation campaigns about anti fascists on like for years.

Very successful too.

Anti fascists aren't one single homogeneous group. "They" aren't violent. Some individuals have been violent.

Well Said

I have Friends who were part of the

Anti Nazi League back in the 70s & early 80s

Going up against The National Front &

The British Movement , they were truly Anti Facists

It seems America has plenty of groups who are

Against Facism & Racism or Bigotry, but there arent many

Who have antifa as part of there name

it is part of the lexicon of the far right who are pretending to be moderate. their lexicon his handy because it enables people to identify the far right when they attempt it's use in conversation or posting online etc. for instance the far right refer to different colour pills in conversation. it was a nazi tactic to develope a nomenclature that is pushed out in written propaganda then regurgitated repeatedly by followers. the principal idea being that if one controls the language surrounding the debate, they then control the debate itself. it's a tactic diseminated recently by the likes of the tory party, ukip, breitbart, banks, fox (both the 3rd tier actor and the news service)etc.

apparently that was the premise when right wing terror groups set off from states such as Texas and drove across the country to Minneapolis in order to set fire to police stations and pour a magazine of AK-47 ammunition into the ensuing conflagrations as officers attempted their escape. it was initially thought that the fire and shooting was the work of BLM protestors until the perpetrator was discovered bragging about his actions on internet forums and chatrooms. it seems a secondary motive of escalating violence is part of a coordinated attempt at insurrection which encompasses the violent putsch at the capitol and the intension of armed right wing terrorist groups to march on 50 state capitols and DC next week.

The name of the person charged was Ivan Harrison Hunter. Google will help you from here. Steven Carillo is another name worth looking.

The question to ask is...are you against fascism?

If yes, then you are anti fascist (anti....opposite or against in this context).

If no, then you are NOT anti fascist, which doesn't necessarily mean you are pro.

That then leads to the debate.."what do you consider to be fascist"

I was also doing the same, am I Antifa as well?

The think about Fascism is that it relies on the silent majority to remain silent. History should have given us a good idea that doing that is not the right answer, it leads to death & destruction. Trump many not ‘believe in’ Fascism, but he is using it for his own ends and his acolytes are going along with it.

Steve Bannon said he wasn't sure if Trump understood the message and he was a 'blunt instrument' to him. There are many around Trump that do understand the message. And there are those that just see it as a means to power.

If you are not anti-something, then you assent to it by failing to oppose it; by apathy, if you will.

It's a subtle distinction that doesn't matter so much when you're talking about crisp flavours - but it's what led to the rise of Nazism.

Not enough Germans could be arsed to oppose it.

So, ignore fascist cunts at your peril.

"What is a fascist?

Someone who likes fascism.

Fascism (/'fæ??z?m/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.

I’ll happily stand against fascism. But I won’t stand with Antifa. Does that make me an anti-anti fascist? Or does my wanting to not associate with any organisation that has stooped to using violence automatically make me a fascist too?

I just think you're confused. Antifa just means anti fascist. There is no one "antifa" organisation.

The right just cannot get their heads around the idea that Antifa is not one political party, or other single structured organisation. It just doesn't compute for them. It's so odd.

So what is it? The pursuit of political aims through the use of violence if necessary and the fetishization of youth?

No. It's being against fascism.

See definition above.

By forcible suppression of opposition?

Do you understand what fascism is?

Yes do you? "

Tell me what you understand by fascism.

Why would we do that? Hasn't the poor chap been through enough.

Oh. You're suggesting that a person getting assaulted by some people proves that Antifa is some kind of organisation? Instead of just being people who are opposed to fascism.

Hmmm

I wouldn’t have expected you to have read any of his work, that much is clear. But it’s eye opening all the same. I’m quite satisfied in my position on this, as I’m sure you are with yours, so I’ll politely agree to disagree.

Facism was a response to Communism, that's a fact.

You don't call Fascists anti-coms do you.

The only reason the horrible ideology was not wiped off the face of the map was because the enemy of enemy is our friend ie the soviet union during world war 2. Plus the allies de-milatrised pretty much straight after ww2 the soviet union did not.

We are lucky the US had nuclear deterrents or Russia would of pushed west.

Authoritarianism is bad no matter what side you are on.

Antifa is not just an idea as you like to espouse. They come from

Antifaschistische Aktion which was the militant arm of the German Communist Party (KPD).

They use the same tactics as Fascits, attacking political enemies with violence.

Think alot of people forgot the political spectrum is not a line but a circle.

Ok first clue is in the name, Antifa, not anti government but anti facsist.

Next clue is that one is a ideology, the other is an group of right wing organisations that share some common goals. In this case, overturning an election.

Not all of Trumps supporters are fascists, but they are among his supporters, he knows it and he openly courts them. The extremists see Trump as a means to an end.

The republicans have been practising the 'big lie' school of politics for a while now, Trump has taken it to an different level. What is at stake here is democracy. We have seen before and are seeing again the consequences of an undemocratic leader gaining power. It's not pretty.

"Ok let’s get this Straight it’s short for Anti Facist, so presumably those who talk about being against Antifa are Pro fascist?

You might as well class everyone who fought against the Nazis in WW2 as ANTIFA

I suspect many of the people here are also ANTIFA, because they believe in democracy and freedom against tyranny and also protecting the weak and vulnerable.

So to those who believe ANTIFA is some left thing it really isn’t, it’s more a morally decent do the right thing movement.

Time to claim the word back from the fascist terrorists who use it as slur.

Just saying....

"

There is a pattern. “Woke” is used as a derogatory insult. However, to be “woke” is in fact to possess very positive human traits. Compassion, understanding and empathy are all required to be a woke person. But how can you insult someone who is compassionate and understanding? Simple - create an all encompassing word to insult them with.

BLM - a simple acceptance that Black Lives Matter just as much as white lives. It needs saying because in many societies - including our own, white privilege is the name of the game. Best thing to do then is to criticise BLM as being a Marxist organisation so that the racists can argue against racial equality.

Points to note. It is just one group that campaigns against antifa, BLM and woke.

You might as well class everyone who fought against the Nazis in WW2 as ANTIFA

I suspect many of the people here are also ANTIFA, because they believe in democracy and freedom against tyranny and also protecting the weak and vulnerable.

So to those who believe ANTIFA is some left thing it really isn’t, it’s more a morally decent do the right thing movement.

Time to claim the word back from the fascist terrorists who use it as slur.

Just saying....

There is a pattern. “Woke” is used as a derogatory insult. However, to be “woke” is in fact to possess very positive human traits. Compassion, understanding and empathy are all required to be a woke person. But how can you insult someone who is compassionate and understanding? Simple - create an all encompassing word to insult them with.

BLM - a simple acceptance that Black Lives Matter just as much as white lives. It needs saying because in many societies - including our own, white privilege is the name of the game. Best thing to do then is to criticise BLM as being a Marxist organisation so that the racists can argue against racial equality.

Points to note. It is just one group that campaigns against antifa, BLM and woke."

Indeed

The Protesters supporting Trump at BLM protests

Were there they said to proclaim that infact

Blue Lives Matter ,The Police were to be respected.

Fast Forward to Washington DC Capitol Hill

Hey Mr Policeman , im gonna show youhow a Fire Exstinguisher

Is Crushing your head cos Blue Lives supposedly dont matter

After All.

"Why on earth would anyone try to defend ANTIFA? More importantly, why would anyone give them such undeserved credit knowing how much trouble they have caused?

Why wouldn't people stand up for anti fascists?

All the trouble they caused for fascists? Seems okay.

The don’t hold the values of anti fascists and you and everyone else knows it.

Antifa are a proud fascist violent organisation sponsored by emperor palpatine soros"

"Facism was a response to Communism, that's a fact.

You don't call Fascists anti-coms do you.

The only reason the horrible ideology was not wiped off the face of the map was because the enemy of enemy is our friend ie the soviet union during world war 2. Plus the allies de-milatrised pretty much straight after ww2 the soviet union did not.

We are lucky the US had nuclear deterrents or Russia would of pushed west.

Authoritarianism is bad no matter what side you are on.

Antifa is not just an idea as you like to espouse. They come from

Antifaschistische Aktion which was the militant arm of the German Communist Party (KPD).

They use the same tactics as Fascits, attacking political enemies with violence.

Think alot of people forgot the political spectrum is not a line but a circle.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.”

Friedrich Nietzsche

We've completely left the realm of reality here.

Do you genuinely believe this, or are you trolling?

What i have said is historical fact

Sorry if it hurts your feelings

Should we put it down the memory hole?

Twilight zone it is.

Just for the record. Trolling was the better of the two options.

Anyhow. Good luck.

You are welcome to point out what i have said that is untrue...

I'll wait"

Agree on the circle theory extreme left and extreme right have distinct similarities and disinct differences.

This is why there are groups which are around to call out warn us if we go to the extremes.

At the moment, the far right are the greatest threat to humanity and society, as we defeated communism in the west ages ago.

If groups who are trying to highlight the fact they have returned, it says theres a big problem and need to sort it.

Think of antifa as the canary down the coalmine.

So the highly enlightened ones here have determined that Antifa is a worldwide ethos to be against fascism. Sadly, there IS an organized group of unemployed, handout wanting, shitting in the streets, rioting black hoodie (over blue hair) skateboarding thugs in America that call themselves Antifa. Their actions during the Obama era were the same as they are now. It probably started out with proper ideals and leadership, but has morphed into a replacement for rave parties and the need to have responsibilities as an adult. The name now just tricks good hearted people into overlooking that their actions aren’t against fascism at all.

BLM also started out purposeful and now is a money making scheme for their top tiers. Inner city blacks get nothing from them.

"How about 99% of people are anti fascist. A small number might be antifa but they are hard to identify. The remaining 1% are fascist or fascist sympathisers - boogaloo boyz, proud boyz etc. National Front in the UK.

The Fascist 1% are the issue here. They are the

ones who attempted a coup in the US. Lets not get distracted by equivalence crap

There is a equivalent they are all anti government . Let's just call them ANTIGOV."

Why not just call them what they are American Traitors or ANTIAMERICAN

While discussing the meaning of a name how come Hitlers party was called the National Socialist party ?I wouldn't call anybody who thinks socialism is a better system than capitalism a Nazi. Having said that some people call themselves socialist when they are secretly Marxist ie communist in their ideology but they know that word is as toxic as the word fascist so they avoid it.

Ok, Nazism is identifed as being far right politics. Hitler despised left wing ideologies. The Nazis was a far-right fascist political party.

Actually Hitler was a communist, he owned nothing more than his clothes and hated the Jews ad he considered them to be the ultimate capitalists - according to a biography published in 1939.

Not everyone who is opposed to fascism is a "leftie". We're from all over the political spectrum.

I assume you're far right because of how easily you appear to be come angered at anyone who is involved in fighting racism, BLM, people who are against fascism etc. Of course I'm making an assumption based on the very little I know about you, which is just limited to your posts on here. So apologies if you're not.

To be clear it has nothing to do with agreeing with me or not, as I'm not putting forward an opinion on anti fascist, aside from the fact that they're mostly against fascism.

How do you work that out?

Are all trump supporters 1 group?"

Apparently we are expected to call out extremely non-fascist people.

"I'd have thought they'd have been proud to be anti fascist instead of dressing in black and covering their faces while they attack innocent people and set fire to public buildings

At least they haven't started burning books yet. Oh wait, they just did

This is just getting silly now. So some people burned books or a book shop. And now everyone who is against fascism is a book burner?

It's like saying that all you far right leaning people are exactly identical to Timothy McVeigh. Which would be equally silly and ridiculous.

As silly and ridiculous as suggesting people who have educated themselves about Antifa are far right. Instead of desperately climbing on a band wagon to signal your virtue why dont you do some research. You're exactly the type of leftie that I describe in my previous post. Why is that everybody who doesn't agree with you has to be far right

You are exactly the type of person that is embarrassing the left. And that's coming from an old school leftie!

Not everyone who is opposed to fascism is a "leftie". We're from all over the political spectrum.

I assume you're far right because of how easily you appear to be come angered at anyone who is involved in fighting racism, BLM, people who are against fascism etc. Of course I'm making an assumption based on the very little I know about you, which is just limited to your posts on here. So apologies if you're not.

To be clear it has nothing to do with agreeing with me or not, as I'm not putting forward an opinion on anti fascist, aside from the fact that they're mostly against fascism.

Forget it. You can carry on jumping on band wagons and claiming that anyone that doesn't agree with you is far right. And you're correct, you do know nothing about me and what I stand for and what I have stood for my entire life

I'm done. Best of luck to you

Okay. Have a good evening.

Although did specifically point out that I don't think people who disagree are far right. See above."

'All you far right leaning people'

Dont EVER make the suggestion that I'm far right leaning!

You despaired of Twitter preventing further incitement of violence, you have disingenuously defend right wing figures allied to violent extremist groups and see Antifa as the mother of all evils. Can you understand how such positions indicate an empathy for extreme right positions.

This is a good example where you've repeated things from the right wing Trump friendly media.

It's a non-stoey, they removed his tweet, where they left lots of Trump's calls for violence. For years.

This is why some of us made the assumptions we did.

Further to this I suggest you familiarise yourself with the legal concept of imminence and the limits this places on First Amendment. Even though 1A doesn't apply to twitter, the concept of "Imminent lawless action" places limits on freedom of speech. The law finds
"Advocacy of force or criminal activity does not receive First Amendment protections if the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and is likely to incite or produce such action."

Trump was threatening further violence, that was why Twitter to the decision to remove him. He had incited violence to overturn the election results and threatening further violence.

Somehow I think you're still going persist with your false equivalency and I'm disinclined to alter my perceptions of you

It's the type of media that pumps out stories based on half truths to demonise people who are against fascism, the type of media brought the type of stories and narrative that you like to post. IE all anti fascists are violent book burners etc etc. IE, Twitter were unfair to Trump because look at Iran.

I'm all for changing my mind on any subject. I'm open minded to sensible ideas and reasoned argument.

An Arkansas man arrested after being photographed beating a uniformed policeman with an American flag said he thought he was beating a member of Antifa.

This happened at the invasion of the Capitol buildings in DC on Jan 6.
