The current state of Antifa is pretty hilarious:
Be Antifa.
Be against local and community police.
Support federal police arresting Jan 6 protestors.
Be anti-state or corporate control.
Support vaccine mandates by state and corporations.
Be “anti-fascist” (Where fascism is state control through the use of corporations).
Support Big Pharma uniting with the state to finance and mandate their product.
The irony does not go unnoticed. But like most things in our current world, everything is inverted.
Up is down. Left is right. Antifa is fascist.
What is arguably the most interesting characteristic of Antifa is their soft alliance with socialism, which is complete state ownership of the market. They want the state to provide everything for them, but they also want to be anti-state. Antifa is anti-control but simultaneously demand total control.
What it boils down to is their acceptance of complete state control, but with the asterisk mentioning that they don’t want that state to be a fascist state. They want it to be the perfect utopian state that they imagine, providing things freely to them while destroying every right-winger in a fascist-like manner. This is modernity’s version of anti-fascism.
This is noticed in their actions. They have no problem assaulting or doxxing people on the Right, and welcome it when the Feds do it, but would be aghast if any community police department did it against them. We saw this exact scenario unfold in Portland. In Portland, the Antifa assaulted the Proud Boys repeatedly and applauded when the Feds arrested any right-wing demonstrators. Then, they turned around and tried to burn down the local police department for posting mugshots of their own rioters.
Another example of this is with the constant Antifa doxxing. They are notorious for their doxxing brigades, where they will find out where a person who holds non-conforming opinions lives and works. Once they have that information, they will contact their employers and try to get them fired or will contact the state and try to get them in other trouble. Both methods, ironically, use the state, institutions, or corporations to their benefit. So, Antifa is not afraid to use these tools that they claim to disdain, and they often do so with great cheer when the state or corporate crushes the non-believer.
Antifa members are strongly emotional creatures, as are most on the Left. This hypocrisy will not break their will because they do not see this issue as a rational or logical one. Instead, they see it as a moral one. Anti-fascist, even in its name, is a moral argument. It’s an appeal to their perceived, and subjective, morality. It is against the “evils of fascism,” regardless of how they define that term. Because of this, it is somewhat like a religion, in the case that it cannot be rationally debated.
You’ll get nowhere trying to talk down Antifa with rational, open, and honest debate. The only thing that can work is an emotional appeal, similar to dealing with young children. Still, I would caution against this. The best defense for zealots that have gone this extreme is avoidance. Antifa members are one of the highest categories of useful idiots for the state, and they will not hesitate to use the state or corporations against you, if they find out that you do not agree with them.

O I’m a good old rebel, now that’s just what I am. For this “fair land of freedom” I do not care at all. I’m glad I fit against it, I only wish we’d won, And I don’t want no pardon for anything I done.
I wonder what the most prevalent MBTI types amongst Antifa are. Deranged E(S/N)FPs?
In the libertarian and alt-right scenes, it was heavily (I/E)NT(J/P)
The word fascism only goes back to WW2, and the only reason its considered bad is that the US chose the wrong side.
This is braindead, antifa isn’t fascist, it is just a bunch of hooligans. They don’t advocate syndcalism/corporatism. They don’t believe in gentiles actual idealism or any philosophy from any third positionist. Corprotacracy is when big business controls the state while corporatism is when the economic system is broken down into organic syndicates. This is basic conservative smugness trying to “gotcha” the left. “We aren’t racist, you are!” Or “you’re the real fascist not meee!” Which i totally agree, none of y’all come off as fascist.
Global Corprotacracy is Trotskyite global communism, ie. only the corporate oligarchy (aka the WEF) will own any property globally and you will be renting surfs!
As Thomas Jefferson pointed out as paraphrased by John Devanny, Ph.D:
“The story of the American political order (now gone globohomo), at least to this point, is the collapse of the influence and autonomy of the local into a consolidated political and financial order, what Jefferson’s people called monarchy. This order is not merely political, it includes cultural, social, religious, and political mores and habits national in their scope and often emanating from institutions closely aligned with the centers of political and economic power.” ~ https://www.abbevilleinstitute.org/poison-under-the-wings/
“The gigantic Russian market was to be converted into a captive market and a
technical colony to be exploited by a few high-powered financiers and the
corporations under their control.”
“Finally, lest this explanation seem too radical, remember that it was Trotsky who appointed tsarist generals to consolidate the Red Army; that it was Trotsky who appealed for American officers to control revolutionary Russia and intervene in behalf of the Soviets; that it was Trotsky who squashed first the libertarian element in the Russian Revolution and then theworkers and peasants; and that recorded history totally ignores the 700,000-man Green Army composed of ex-Bolsheviks, angered at betrayal of the revolution, who fought the Whites and the Reds. In other words, we are suggesting that the Bolshevik Revolution was an alliance of statists: statist revolutionaries and statist financiers aligned against the genuine revolutionary libertarian elements in Russia.” ~ WALL STREET AND THE BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION By Antony C. Sutton
Antifa doesnt even believe in any philosophy or ideology in general other than vague “marxism” and generic progressive values that stem from capitalism. The most you can say is that they are anarchists, only at most though.
Your comment reminds me of an exchange I got into when I went to the Occupy Protests like… a decade ago… wow, time sure flies.
There was this one dude there, an off-duty security guard speaking to a crowd I was apart of, who was all like “We need DEMOCRACY and POWER TO THA PEOPLE rah rah rah”
I was like “well, if the people were dumb enough to elect W Bush twice, what makes you think they’re smart enough to listen to your ideas? Why not just seize power and have a revolutionary vanguard party run things for the peoples’ benefit?”
I don’t recall his response, but it was like the left-vs-right meme where there’s a giant block of words (leftism) in lieu of a succinct and blatantly correct message (rightism), which is a good way to ascertain truth.
I was not actually a communist or leftist back then, I just pretended to be one in order to troll people there and hit on chicks. Meme that says rightists understand leftism better than vice versa = CONFIRMED. Johnathan Haidt would have been proud.
Methinks the author is using the word “fascist” when he really means “communist”.
But I understand his point.
The Marxist clowns have no end to their double standard. It would be embarrassing if we acted the same way. But to them, it is standard operating procedure.
Antifa is contradictory yes, but they are far from fascist. They are liberals who have been pushed to anarchism and communism. Despite that they have no intellectual world view unlike modern neo-fascists, whether they like it or not they are demagogues for the democratic party and punching bags for the republicans. A false alternative that only serves to further liberalize the culture and do the FBI’s job for them.
“Antifa” was/is the Thug Wing of the judeo-communists. Started in Germany in the 1930’s. They still use the Exact Same Flag now as then.
