Does not an ideology manifest itself into organization. Socialism is an ideology. Socialist parties are the manifestation of that ideology. ANTIFA is the manifestation of far left ideology and is organized.

The Bolsheviks weren’t a unified organization from day one. They began as an ideological current within the RSDLP after 1903, became a faction, and only later formed a distinct party with leadership, funding, and hierarchy. Both extremes are false: neither ‘just ideology’ nor a fully unified organization at the start.

No. An ideology doesn’t ‘manifest’ into a single organization. It can inspire many separate groups, but that doesn’t make them one coordinated entity. Socialism produces socialist parties, not one global organization. Likewise, antifascist ideology leads to various independent groups, but ‘Antifa’ is not a centralized organization with leadership, membership rolls, or a command structure. Antifascism per se is not inherently far left.

Politico pic centers directly on the Milo Yiannopoulos riots at UC Berkeley from February 2017, it illustrates the rise of militant anti fascist tactics. If only we knew then what we know now.

If you follow the pattern of the far left all the way to Communism ,the Communist use the anarchist as a means to a end .Once communism comes to power they devour the Anarchist... which means they are fundamentally incompatible with the highly centralized, total state control required by a Marxist Leninist regime.

Another case of framing a news story , "supporters of the defendants claimed the convicted just went to demonstrate & set off fireworks when the shooting started". The reporter on the scene doesn't mention a officer took a bullet to the neck.

From the linked Politico article:

Striking a man with a sign saying ‘No Hate’

In one harrowing encounter, Antifa protesters struck an elderly Trump supporter with signs labeled “No Hate.” Al Letson, the host of the investigative radio program and podcast Reveal, who was also there to record the actions of the far right, leapt to the Trump supporter’s defense, shielding him with his body and pleading with Antifa protesters to stop beating the man. They complied and allowed the man to get to his feet and leave the area.

And they say the syndrome isn't real.

Off topic but I saw an ABC Australia news report about Starmer's resignation. They said the main factors were housing and affordability. No mention of immigration. ABC Australia is in the same basket as the BBC, CNN etc. and is taxpayer funded.

A centralized movement with a supreme leader demanding total loyalty looks far more like MAGA than Antifa.

Antifa isn’t an organization like the Taliban — it’s an ideology, and under the U.S. Constitution, political philosophies are protected by the First Amendment whether or not Trump approves.

True constitutional conservatives defend the entire Bill of Rights; you can’t champion the Second Amendment while cheering when the executive branch tries to crush the First.

A protest got out of hand and an officer was injured — sound familiar? Should these defendants also get pardons and a million‑dollar handout?

Leftist / commie / Free Palestine groupie explanation.


Fact check: The Antifa ties are not alleged. They were proven in court. You know how? Through the seven cell members who pleaded guilty—five of them testifying for the prosecution at trial and all admitting to stipulated facts, including that they organized behind antifa ideology.

Also, it wasn’t a “protest.” They did shooting and tactical training beforehand, procured dozens of firearms and then came with 11 guns and shot an officer in the neck after luring victims out with explosives

But hey, nice way trying to defend actual terrorists.

I needed to add my favorite Antifa clip.

I will agree that this calls for a different case handling. While I have not seen any Jan. 6 Police Officer shot in the neck and recover ... Jan. 6 did result in Police deaths the sentences pardoned by trump. These extreme sentences will be overturned on various legal grounds.

Antifa is a manifestation of resistance to fascism. as to trump unilaterally declaring that it is a "domestic terrorist" organization? Yet another example of the ignorance, incompetence and corruption that are the historical hallmarks of his administration.

You don't even see the lefty hypocrisy between Ashley Babbit and Renee Good, do you?

You're applying "left hypocrisy" to a set of values, chosen selectively.

There should be a worldwide ban on these violent fruitcakes.

All beta males and ugly women who were bullied for being nerds at school.The dress in black hoping it makes them look tough with their faces covered.Think nothing of attacking innocent civilians who don’t agree with them.Hope they all get bummed regularly in jail.

If you check statistics you find 80+% of political violence come from the rightwing part of politics..

So maybe fix "own house first" be idea ?

And whats happened to the "brave" murderers from Minneapolis???

How many years ???

Totally agree about the ban . Many are misfit communist,socialists and anarchist hell bent on revolution by any means necessary .People who attack civilians, use political violence, or push revolution by any means (a real stance among some anarchist, communist, and Antifa fringes) should face serious consequences and isolation from society .

Recent examples like the Antifa linked cells in Texas (sentenced to decades for the 2025 ICE facility ambush with explosives and shooting at officers) show exactly that kind of masked, black clad militant tactics in action. Long prison terms for those convicted are the right response.
