It is a shame if we learn nothing from history.

As Naom Chomsky said recently. Antifa is a gift to the right-wing. Antifa violence feeds the Nazis.

Liberals should follow the lead of the Mayor of Berkeley (a guy that know what he's dealing with first-hand) and utterly reject the organized violence of Antifa.
