Antifa and the nazis should all be thrown in prison.

We dont need political violence and any more escalation.

Dont believe me. How about the atlantic? https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/534192/ How about cnn ? https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2017/08/14/us/what-is-antifa-trnd/in...

I consider myself antifa in part because my great grandfather was murdered by the Nazis, and I consider it to be part of my social and civil responsibility to oppose fascism.

Edit: ¡No pasaran!

Go for it but if you're burning down innocents in your mad dash to stop nazis.

Don't expect sympathy.

While many antifa are anarchists or anti-capitalists, the defining feature is opposing fascism. Don't succumb to a trivializing caricature of antifa as being primarily about wanton violence against property.

Antifa is not just anti-facism. If you go to any of their rallies or counter protests you'll find most are socio-anarchists or communists who don't see anything wrong with violence.

Ask yourself who is defending the counter protestors when the police are defending the white supremacists, kkk, and other assorted fascists.

Historically the police have a poor track record when it comes to choosing sides in the fight against fascism

If you think antifa has too many anarchists and communists, maybe it's time to mask up and help

Ah yes, nazis and the people fighting the nazis are the same.
