It's an umbrella term for a bunch of usually college campus groups that counter-protest fascist orgs like proud boys or patriot prayer.

Some are pretty big like in Portland but uh most aren't. Like you can just go "hey let's get some people on the street for when the proud boys go intimidate an immigrant neighbourhood" and you've invented a local antifascist org.

It's not a single entity. It's just a buzzword for something the left has been doing since fascism first began. The Nazi SA cut its teeth getting into street fights with communists.

"The movement gained major attention during and after the Black Lives Matter protests following the killing of George Floyd in May 2020 by a Minneapolis police officer. While the vast majority of these protests were peaceful, some saw outbreaks of violence, property damage, and looting. Thereafter, Antifa was frequently called out by political leaders and media as a key instigator of violent acts."

"Unlike traditional political organizations, Antifa is not a formal group with a centralized command but rather a widespread movement. Individuals and cells organize autonomously, often coordinating loosely through social media or encrypted communication platforms."

"Antifa's decentralized nature makes it difficult to categorize straightforwardly. It is neither a formal organization nor a traditional political entity, but rather an ideology-driven network of activists united by anti-fascist opposition. This complexity leads to frequent misunderstandings and conspiracy theories, including unfounded allegations of foreign funding or orchestrated violence."

"Since 2016, George Soros’s Open Society Foundations (OSF), now run with his son Alexander, has poured over $80 million into groups tied to terrorism or extremist violence. The evidence is stark: Open Society has sent millions of dollars into U.S.-based organizations that engage in “direct actions” that the FBI defines as domestic terrorism. These groups include the Center for Third World Organizing and its militant partner Ruckus Society, which trained activists in property destruction and sabotage during the 2020 riots, and the Sunrise Movement, which endorsed the Antifa-linked Stop Cop City campaign, in which activists currently face over 40 domestic terrorism charges and 60 racketeering indictments. At the same time, Open Society awarded $18 million to the Movement for Black Lives, a group that co-authored a radical guide that glorifies Hamas’s October 7 massacre and instructs activists in the use of false IDs, blockades, and economic disruption.

Nor is the danger confined to America’s streets. Open Society has funneled more than $2.3 million into Al-Haq, a nongovernmental organization (NGO) based in the West Bank and long accused of ties to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), which the European Union and the United States designate as a foreign terrorist organization. Grants to Al-Haq between 2016 and 2023 ranged from $400,000 in general support to an $800,000 institutional award. In September 2025, the U.S. State Department sanctioned Al-Haq, citing its role in advancing campaigns that “directly engaged in the [International Criminal Court’s] illegitimate targeting of Israel.” That means Soros’s foundation has not only financed extremist groups within the United States but also funneled millions abroad to entities now formally sanctioned by Washington."

Of course it does. Go to Youtube and google antifa attacks ICE portland. You will see plenty of black clad White boys running around cosplaying as revolutionaries.

Check out reporting on them by Andy Ngo and Micheal Tracy. You will see plenty of antifa violence

Actual Antifa is a loose network of anarchists who probably number a few thousand.

"Antifa' is an imaged global network of evil and dangerous extremists, funded by George Soros and lizard people. Also, anyone who can be called leftwing is Antifa'.

Making 'Antifa' a terrorist organisation criminalises the entirety of the US activist left. It's what authoritarian governments do.

Yup here's proof:

The government crackdown of them is a modern COINTELPRO. The Proud Boys and Oath Keepers can continue with the full support of Trump.

antifa started by fighting Hitler . its like the proud boys just on the other side. right vs left .

Antifa isn't an organization.
There is no leadership, hierarchy or centralization. It's movement.
Anyone can be Antifa.

Your question doesn’t make any sense

Yin and yang. Antifa exists because maga exists

Yes, as a terrorist organization.

Not if you starve it of attention and airtime.
