Antifa Means ANTI-Fascist

Don't let establishment propagandists equate being a fascist and fighting fascism. There's no 'both-siding' this.

Footage of Nazis in the streets of Orlando, Florida prompts me to reiterate that Antifa exists for a reason: to fight violent rightwing extremists.

If Nazis feel this comfortable in America, America is the problem…..

There is a penchant for false equivalence in US politics that conflates the far right and far left. But make no mistake, there is no comparison between violent rightwingers and the courageous citizens who confront them.

So let’s reiterate:

ANTIFA MEANS ANTI-FASCIST

Antifa simply means anti-fascists. You’re either anti fascist or fascist. There isn’t a neutral option.

The only people who have an issue with antifa are actual fascists. Antifa means anti-fascist. Why is this difficult to comprehend?

@DavidDjHoward @Susan_T_Carey @vankayak ANTIFA isn't a movement. It literally means anti-fascist. That's a stance. The far-right fellows decided to to invent ut as a "movement" so they could blame all their extremism on someone else. It was MADE UP by the people who talk about "false news" and such... distracting...

In my book, Digital Civil War: Confronting the Far-Right Menace, I explain that the overwhelming majority of extremist violence in the US is carried out by the far right, not leftists. Seeing Nazis in America’s streets in 2022 is just another reminder that we must stay ever-vigilant against authoritarianism and hate.
