From a Favorite UL place, Wikipedia: "...The principal feature of antifa groups is their use of direct action, with conflicts occurring both online and in real life. They engage in varied protest tactics, which include digital activism, property damage, physical violence, and harassment against those whom they identify as fascist, racist, or on the far-right..." "...Their stated focus is on fighting far-right and white supremacist ideologies directly, rather than through electoral means..." "... antifa activists feel the need to participate in violent actions ..." "...Antifa tactics include 'no platforming,' i.e. denying their targets the opportunity to speak out in public; obstructing their events and defacing their propaganda; and, when antifa activists deem it necessary, deploying violence to deter them..."
'property damage, physical violence,', are the ideals of 'antifa', As loose and poorly organized as they are, you, Support, antifa, ideals. And even the UL FDS Sites, says antifa is, VIOLENT. Because that is the only way they believe their voice will be heard.
show me just one example where I condone any type of violence LOLOLOL, You SUPPORT the Ideals of anitfa. - yes, genius, the IDEALS - NOT THE VIOLENCE. How many times before that sinks in?? And again, as loose and poorly organized as they are, VIOLENCE, IS/ARE, the Ideals of anitfa ! No, they're not. You really should try to learn to comprehend. Tactics of a few are not the same as ideals.
Hmmm... also from Wiki:
Antifa is not an interconnected or unified organization, but rather a movement without a hierarchical leadership structure, comprising multiple autonomous groups and individuals.[13][23][35] Activists typically organize protests via social media and through websites.[41] Some activists have built peer-to-peer networks, or use encrypted-texting services like Signal.[42] According to Chauncey Devega at Salon, antifa is an organizing strategy, not a group of people.[43] The antifa movement has grown since the 2016 presidential election and, as of August 2017, approximately 200 groups existed, of varying sizes and levels of activity.[30] The activists involved subscribe to a range of ideologies, typically on the left and they include anarchists, socialists and communists along with some liberals and social democrats.[22][23][35]
According to Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at the California State University, San Bernardino, antifa activists feel the need to participate in violent actions because "they believe that elites are controlling the government and the media. So they need to make a statement head-on against the people who they regard as racist".[8] According to Mark Bray, the adherents "reject turning to the police or the state to halt the advance of white supremacy. Instead they advocate popular opposition to fascism as we witnessed in Charlottesville".[23]
The idea of direct action is central to the antifa movement.[44] Former antifa organizer Scott Crow told an interviewer:
The idea in Antifa is that we go where they [right-wingers] go. That hate speech is not free speech. That if you are endangering people with what you say and the actions that are behind them, then you do not have the right to do that. And so we go to cause conflict, to shut them down where they are, because we don't believe that Nazis or fascists of any stripe should have a mouthpiece.[8]
