    This is a wording error, a lot of people fell for. Antifa only means you are against fascism and nothing more.

    More simpler? If you aren’t a fascist, you are antifa!

      You would think so, but the people on my region that call themselfs “antifa” are fasist themselves. No tolerant on who you are or how you look if you are a “white straight male”. So yea, fuck the antifa organization. Im all anti facism starting with them.

        Where I came from it’s the right wings, who wants you believe antifa is a criminal organisation which is far more extremist and radical than themselves.

        This is just propaganda. Sure leftists use the term “antifa” more than the average not extremist people but this has nothing to do with the fact, that everyone who is against fascism is an antifa.

        tl;dr: Sorting the “antifa” wording to the “baddies” is rightwing propaganda.

          According to Wikipedia (I know, but it is a protected article), antifa is a loose organization of autonomous groups that use both non-violent and violent means. Based on that last part alone, I would say that is perfectly reasonable to NOT identify as antifa even if one generally agrees with their agenda.

          As for vilifying the opposition, that does seem like just the thing the right wing would do to avoid taking responsibility for their own stupidity.

        You just say fuck fascists, that is antifa, then you say fuck antifa that means fuck yourself? It is very simple to understand. If you are against fascism you are already antifa. Then stop. No need to fuck any more. You are the fascist and then fuck fascism because anti fascism is bad to your fascism but you hate fascism? Good luck with the self fucking puzzle
