About the Antifa bullshit

[Just A Box Of Rain]

15. I do. The original German Antifa helped the Nazis come to power.

I suggest you study the history.

Germany's Antifa was controlled by Ernst Thälmann, the leader of the Communist Party of Germany. It was Thälmann who invented the "Hitler First, Then Us" strategy.

The KPD Communist Party of Germany attacked the liberal Social Democratic Party (SPD), which was the 1930's German version of our own Democratic Party, as "social fascists" and made its primary aim towards destroying liberalism (which they call "fascism&quot .

From Wikipedia [emphasis added]:

However, after the Comintern's abrupt ultra-left turn in its Third Period from 1928, the KPD regarded the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) as its main adversary and adopted the position that the SPD was the main fascist party in Germany.[13]

This was based on the theory of social fascism that had been proclaimed by Joseph Stalin and that was supported by the Comintern during the late 1920s and early 1930s, which held that social democracy was a variant of fascism.[14]

Consequently, the KPD held that it was "the only anti-fascist party" in Germany[6][15] and stated that "fighting fascism means fighting the SPD just as much as it means fighting Hitler and the parties of Brüning."[16]

In KPD and Soviet usage, fascism was primarily viewed as the final stage of capitalism rather than a specific group or movement such as the Italian Fascists or the German Nazis and, based on this theory, the term was applied quite broadly.
