Antifa aka Antifascistische Aktion

Anti-Fascism is nothing but Fascism with minus sign. The modulus is the same.

Antifa is short from Antifascistische Aktion, a Far Left militant group founded by the German Communist party in 1932. It was basically the Communist equivalent of the Sturmabteilungen - the Brownshirts - of the Nazi party: a paramilitary violent gang organization, whose main purpose was political terror and phyiscal violence on political opponents.

Nazis came and went, but Antifa re-emerged after the debacle of the WWII. In the postwar era the historical Antifaschistische Aktion inspired a variety of different movements, groups and individuals in Germany as well as other countries, which widely adopted variants of its aesthetics and some of its tactics; this is known as the wider Antifa movement.

The Antifa movement is incredibly violent and it is basically a safe haven for juvenile delinquents drawn on gang violence. Comparing Antifa to football hooligans is perhaps not wrong; with the exception that no sports are involved. While anti-fascists do not categorically denounce the use of violence in furthering their aims, for the Antifa folks violence is merely the goal on itself. And all the better as the excuse is a ‘good’ thing - beating up folks everyone dislikes.

Yet violence is violence still, and violence begets violence. The Thirties already showed us where it went, and the violent nature of Antifa gets abour everyone to shun and abhor them.

Moreover, what is Fascism? The very word Fascism is nothing but a blank term, which may mean anything I scorn and dislike. There is no clear definition on Fascism; according to Lenin, Fascism is the “movement of the most conservative, most reactionary and most Chauvinist ingredients of Capitalist society whose aim is Plutocracy”. According to Stalin, Social Democracy is a variant of Fascism; Social fascism was a theory supported by the Comintern and affiliated communist parties during the early 1930s, which held that social democracy was a variant of fascism because — in addition to a shared corporatist economic model — it stood in the way of a dictatorship of the proletariat. By other definitions, the strongly religious estado novo of Salazar’s Portugal or Franco’s falangismo were Fascism - while Salazar hated the Nazis like plague and Franco refused to join on the Axis side after the Spanish Civil War. American Conservatives are often stamped as Fascists, and for many people, Libertarians represent Fascism because of their Atheism and ideals of Social Darwinism.

So basically anything can be Fascism - which means anything - and anyone - may be the target of Antifa terror. It means that basically nobody is safe from violence. And when the question is about young men with emotional deficiencies and testosterone poisoning, all bets are off. It is basically violence for violence’s sake - the “anti-Fascism” is merely a poor excuse.

There is actually very little difference between Anti-Fascism and the real Fascism; in the form Fascism was implemented and demonstrated in Italy. Both Fascism and Anti-Fascism represent toxic masculinity; violent, aggressive and bellicose thuggish herd mentality with violence as the self-justification. Both aim for a Totalitarian police state and neither allow any dissidence nor deviant thinking.

By remembering that Antifa originally was a Communist street violence organization, we get to realize its true colours.

TL;DR: Britain has football hooligans, the other European countries have Antifa.
