Antifa is Worldwide

WASHINGTON, Nov 13 (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday designated four entities in Germany, Italy and Greece as global terrorists, accusing them of being "violent Antifa groups" as President Donald Trump takes aim at left-wing groups.
U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement he had designated German-based Antifa Ost as "Specially Designated Global Terrorists," along with three other groups in Greece and Italy, in an effort to build on Trump's "commitment to confront Antifa’s campaign of political violence."

We are told by Democrats that Antifa is a small grass roots group with no leaders and no money. 🤔

Antifa uses many of the same tactics as the Nazis used against the Jews. They censored the Jews, they damaged their
property, and prevented them from organizing, or promoting their beliefs.

What are the historical roots of antifa?
The roots of antifa trace back to the interwar period, specifically to resistance movements against the rise of fascism in Italy and Germany. Antifa was inspired by antifascist movements that emerged throughout Europe.

What tactics does antifa use?
Antifa uses tactics such as “deplatforming” fascists, doxing, property damage at protests, and disrupting right-wing events. Its members aim to prevent fascist opponents from organizing or promoting their beliefs.

@DogMan

Deplatforming fascists is vital to retaining a tolerant society. I'm not going to defend doxing. But yes, fascists should be prevented from promoting their beliefs.

Being Jewish is a heritage, something you are born into. Being a fascist is a choice to embrace a terrible ideology and people should face social repercussions and be ostracized for embracing it.

@ViciDraco And antifa is a choice, a violent ideology that must be eradicated

@sunsporter1649 The methods, particularly the illegal ones, need to be addressed. Antifa as an ideology, the suppression of facism, is as important as ever.

@ViciDraco If the illegal methods were to be eliminated there would be no antifa
