Antifa - The Communist Thugs of the Progressive Democrats

      Why is a Communist group allowed to cloak their faces and use extreme violence to attack American Patriots with little or no interference from local government or police? Why do elected officials in these Socialist leaning municipalities defend this violent behavior and, by allowing it to continue, encourage more violence towards it’s citizens with a difference of belief? To get to that horrifying conclusion we must, unlike Progressives, look at history.

      Antifa promotes a blend of anarchy and communism, and was formed in 1920’s Germany as the violence and intimidation wing of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). Antifa, then known as Antifaschistische Aktion (“Antifascist Action”), was created under the direct guidance of the Russian Soviet regime. 

 

      The 21^st century version claims their name is an abbreviation for anti-facist and they are fighting the evil neo-NAZI’s (not to be confused with the Hitler’s NAZI party) and right-wing nationalists, but nothing could be more from the truth. As author Trevor Loudon notes, in terms of its actions and its beliefs, “Antifa is pretty muchthe most active fascist group in America right now.” He compared Antifa with Adolf Hitler’s brownshirts, which likewise used violence to attack and intimidate enemies of Hitler’s National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) party. Both sides, he said, “believe in shutting down free speech, believe in forcing others to accept their will.”

      Researchers then sought to find out whether Antifa still maintained Communist Party links. They not only found this to be true, but also found that mainstream political ties have given a free pass to Antifa’s violence. Antifa has garnered mainstream support since it claims to oppose fascism, and claims its violence is a means to suppress fascism yet shutting down opposing views and speech are exactly what THEY are about. Both the Washington Post and the Nation have carried pieces calling for physical violence against the right, with the Post headline calling for “direct action” and the Nation headline reading, “Not Rights but Justice,” but whose justice?

 

                       How many saw these obscure headlines?

• Durham, NC Antifa Spotted Carrying Weapons…

       We cannot condone the media when it comes to its reporting of acts of hatred and violence on the radical left. Their double-standard is glaring biased, downright ugly, and inexcusable. I’m talking about a consistent pattern of dangerous words and deeds from the radical left, most of which get scant attention from the media. As evil as the KKK and neo-Nazis are, they are not the ones carrying out these acts of hatred, violence, and vandalism. All this is coming from the radical left. Why then does the media put so much focus only on the so-called alt-right groups and so little (if any) on the radical left? 

      Examples of Antifa’s violence ranges from stabbing a police horse in the neck to beating people with bike locks. Antifa has physically assaulted reporters that are not aligned with the left. Antifa thugs are additionally known for assaulting helpless elderly citizens and chasing down fleeing people in order to beat them. Antifa groups in have rioted, destroyed property, beat people with flagpoles and pepper-sprayed a women while the authorities did little to intervene. How much of this was denounced by outlets such as CNN? Where is the outrage? This is America! The leftist media also fails to mention that Antifa was declared a domestic terrorist group by New Jersey’s Office of Homeland Security and that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security stated certain actions from Antifa were acts of “domestic terrorism.” 

 

      The researchers also found that Antifa violence was most prevalent in cities controlled by Democratic city councils, in which the police were under the control of the councils. In Berkeley, California, Antifa is affiliated with the far-left extremist group By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), BAMN, was an outgrowth of the Trotskyist Revolutionary Workers League. In Orlando, Florida Antifa is very close to the Democratic Socialists of America. The Texas branch of Antifa is tied to the local Red Guard, a Maoist organization. Another Antifa branch, Refuse Fascism, is a front for the Revolutionary Communist Party. “Antifa today is like a franchise, the researchers said, adding that “in many instances” it also has close ties to the Democratic Party. I guess it’s not all about peace and love and equality and tolerance in the Democrat, or is it, the Progressive(Communist) party?
