The crazy thing is they keep doubling down, forcing the protests to get violent. I still wish there was a way to peacefully stop all of this shit but if they're willing to kill protesters and the media is cool with it, what other options are there?

I'm hearing the fascists went back across the bridge, but communication on the ground is garbage. I give up, there's nothing I can contribute by being down here. Getting some food then heading back home to go to a friend's potluck

White supremacy will never die. Winning 2020 won't make these people disappear or change their mind. We need to treat them like terrorists and not let them advance an inch.
I also agree with that. It's shown to be a pest that will come and go in society but never die. I think its gonna get worse after 2020, even if we elect a dem president.

Why do antifa members veil themselves in anarcho-communist symbols?

CNN is interviewing two masked members of antifa and one of them is wearing a Hammer n Sickle on his helmet

Being antifascist is fine but what is not fine is to say that communism is good.

Not a good look

There is no Antifa "membership" because it's a tactic, not an organization. That said, the original Antifa was established to fight the Nazis as an alliance between anarchists and communists, hence the red and black flags.

Modern day Antifa are primarily, likewise, anarchists and socialists/communists because they don't believe in the rules of liberalism (peaceful protest, follow the law) and understand that the capitalist state is an enabler of fascism.

These antifa protesters aren't exactly capitalists/neolibs hitting the streets to protect the sanctity of the free market.

Thanks for explaining it more succinctly than I could.

It's why I like Marvel using the symbology Hydra because that's exactly what this shit is, cut off it's head another pops up, so you mow it down the minute it does until they start getting scared to show.

That's the whole issue with this high road no violence play by the rules bullshit they are emboldened so multiple heads keep popping up, need to cut all that shit off and each one that pops up so they get too scared for a couple decades like the last time they had real power.

Remember Facism is not a political opinion, it's a virus of hatred and should be treated like incurable disease, wiped out wherever it appears.

Right wing groups and anti fascists? So not fascists and anti fascists? I swear the way the media gives these pieces of shit a special pass every time is so transparent.

The Associated Press story just calls them the "far right." The only group they even suggested as being white nationalist was the group American Guard:

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police arrested four people and seized metal poles, bear spray and other weapons Saturday as hundreds of far-right protesters and anti-fascist counter-demonstrators swarmed downtown Portland, Oregon, and authorities closed bridges and streets to try to keep the rival groups apart.
...
Late in the morning flag-waving members of the Proud Boys, Three Percenters militia group and others gathered downtown, some also wearing body armor and helmets. Police said they had seized the weapons, including shields, from multiple groups as they assembled along the Willamette River, which runs through the city.
...
Self-described anti-fascists had vowed to confront the rally while leaders from the far right urged their followers to turn out in large numbers to protest the arrests of six members of right-wing groups in the run-up to the event.
...
In addition to the Proud Boys and Three Percenters, the white nationalist American Guard also said it would have members in Portland.
The Oath Keepers, another far-right militia group, said in a statement they were pulling out of the rally because organizers have not done enough to keep white supremacist groups away.

Being a communist doesn't mean being a tankie necessarily, there is a spectrum.

It's not a good look for liberals. If most liberals were antifascists, most "antifa" groups would be full of them, yet liberals would rather just talk about decorum while Nazis are hauling away minorities to gas chambers.

If you don't want the face of anti-fascism to be "anarcho-communists", then maybe do something about it.

Go off king but check out the big brain on this guy


I wish we could just shut the entire network down. If the shoe was somehow reversed, he'd probably be the first to say, "it wasn't right for antifa to do what they did! They're a terrorist group!"

He mentioned in his Joe Rogan interview that that's what he wants as president. To do things WITH the people of the US.

From what I understand, Antifa is a coalition of different groups that work together to oppose fascism. So they don't have a uniting ideology outside of "Fuck Nazis" and being somewhere on the left. Modern Antifa got its start with SHARPS fighting Nazis out of the punk scene, and it expanded to other groups as white nationalism grew.

Some are Anarchists, some are Communist, some are Stalinist, ect...

And even in these circles, people do not like the tankies. But will still work together for the cause.
