2. Antifa needs to be known as Anti fascist

It leaves out the most important part.

Fascist.

Pukes make it sound like it is anti American. Hope it is pronounced more by its full name soon.

[Music Man]

16. That's a great point. I hadn't thought about that, in terms of framing.

Especially when people pronounce it as an-Ti-fa, it sounds especially ridiculous, instead of the very serious endeavor it actually is.

3. Then in 1936 you had Americans who were ANTIFA before it was cool.

They were the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Perhaps you might have heard of them?

10. Didn't they fight against Franco in Spain?? nt

[Igel]

11. Yes, they were organized by the Communist International.

One founder later went on to be the first communist party dictator of Bulgaria, Stalin's choice for his years of service to the cause. Another was so enamored of Stalin that he became a Russian citizen and even had a town named after him by Stalin.

4. K&R!

[mathematic]

6. No they didn't. Antifa was a german communist group that opposed social democrats

Antifa worked WITH the nazis to help fight the social democrats, who antifa viewed as the true fascists.

Stop trying to whitewash communist history.

[mitch96]

12. Whitewash?

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.. Isn't that the way it goes?? We were allies till we weren't.. YMMV

7. That's not true at all.

Antifa in Europe was one thing.
The invading allied forces were another thing.

If you’re going to join a gang, know the gang that you’re joining.

Better yet, stay in school.

8. 157 Years ago Anti Fascists of their day also fought White Supremacists

9. The bravest of the brave. nt

[jmg257]

14. Ha ha ha - Anti-fa equals US 1st Division, 82nd 101st, Rangers, etc.. LOL

[Duppers]

15. K & R

My dad was there - one of the lucky survivors.

[Crowman2009]

17. I'm noticing a lot of the DU accounts talking smack about ANTIFA haven't posted anything prior since

...2016. I think some of these were hacked accounts.

[scarytomcat]

18. yes. antifi is a position like conservatve

Many people are against fascism
