conix, Meet Antifa, the Violent Anti-Fascist Movement That Fights the Alt-Right in the Streets

As far as the violence, it is not the only way in which antifa groups counteract their opponents, engaging in tactics like exposing the true identities of fascists and internet trolls, helping people join unions, advocating for issues like the environment. But some do see violence as intrinsic to fascism and as such regard resorting to violence as a necessary counterforce measure.

A representative for the Antifa NYC news site explained their mission more broadly to The Nation: “Antifa combines radical left-wing and anarchist politics, revulsion at racists, sexists, homophobes, anti-Semites, and Islamophobes, with the international anti-fascist culture of taking the streets and physically confronting the brownshirts of white supremacy, whoever they may be.”

Antifa as the Patriot movement covers quite a spectrum. I've never supported the initiation of violence by any
group, and have never supported any that do. I believe i've made that clear in a number of posts on Antifa.
