Talk:Antifa

Terrorist organization

There is a White House petition to label the Antifa a terrorist organization, and it has received well over the minimum required signatures (including my own, actually) to get an official WH response: [1][2][3][4] Hopefully, the Trump Administration will act on this. --1990'sguy (talk) 18:28, 23 August 2017 (EDT)

Very nice--I hope it works! --David B ^(TALK) 18:53, 23 August 2017 (EDT)

Images

Hi, just a quick observation: the text here is good, but I noticed that the images provided alone seem to only show violence against Antifa, and not by Antifa. For those who find words too complicated, it might be a good idea to show images of their mischief and lawlessness. --David B ^(TALK) 19:42, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

That's a good idea. We should at least have two images. Wikimedia commons probably has some images we could use. --1990'sguy (talk) 19:45, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

Also, I wonder if this video might be good to at least link to: [5] (Also on Wikimedia commons) It is a long clip of a man being harassed as he attempts to document an Antifa gathering. --David B ^(TALK) 21:52, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

Definately. I'm not sure if you mean in the external links or in the actual article, but either way if fine with me. --1990'sguy (talk) 21:57, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

I'm not sure what's best. In any case, we can't embed the video, because CP does not permit the upload of such files. I'm guessingt the best way to do it is just include the link in "External links," so I'll probably go ahead and put it there. I'm still looking for photos we can use, but not finding much with a public license yet.

I haven't had time to look into licensing yet, but if all else fails, maybe we could pull some stills from this video [6] --David B ^(TALK) 22:09, 30 August 2017 (EDT)

Interesting, there are two crimes pictured in this article, both assaults on Antifa members, yet it claims Antifa are the criminals. It does not suprise me I have to say given Conservapedia's support for the criminals Moore, Arpaio and criminal Davies among others. To paraphrase Karajou,"It is only a matter of time until one of you ends up in prison" :)--MariO1 (talk) 08:11, 15 December 2017 (EST)

If words are too complicated, so you only look at the pictures, then that is correct. However, if you know how to read, try doing that in this section. --David B ^(TALK) 08:43, 15 December 2017 (EST)

Speaking of which, perhaps we should get a few more pictures.... Does anyone know if this is genuine, and if so, what context it was in? [7] Thanks! --David B ^(TALK) 08:50, 15 December 2017 (EST)

I'm thinking of adding this image to show how the mobs often wear masks to hide their identities. [8] Any thoughts on where in the article it should go? --David B ^(TALK) 23:25, 7 January 2018 (EST)

Apparently, on Wikimedia, you can find several good Antifa images in the categories related to general protests against Trump (here's a good, if overwhelming, starting point). Here, specifically, are a few good Antifa/anarchist images I found: [9][10][11][12] --1990'sguy (talk) 22:31, 1 February 2018 (EST)

Organization

Hi. Can we please add in and cite any sources regarding them being an organization? Several leftists are claiming that they aren't an actual organization, even implying they don't have a single leader or anything like that, or even lacking cards, so we need to prove they are an organization and refute their claims. Pokeria1 (talk) 17:22, 30 June 2020 (EDT)

I agree. Get it started. I think I got some information that can fit in, as well.

One piece of information that should not be overlooked is the author and publisher of the Antifa manual, and any other publications.

Andy Ngo certainly has sources, as well as another guy Jason Goodman recently interviewed. Then there is also that pencil-neck geek professor that Tucker Carlson interviewed a few years ago. RobS^{Trump 2Q2Q} 20:35, 3 July 2020 (EDT)

Formating

The detail on Antifa's activities at the Capitol in the Introduction is somewhat confusing there. It should be moved into the body of the article somewhere. IOWs, there should be two references to it in the article, 1) an Intro teaser, and 2) specific detail later. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 04:07, 7 January 2021 (EST)

Can anyone untangle this Introductory sentence with 7 clauses?

• Although Antifa has been promoted by CNN as the elite Trump resistance movement since 2017,[7][8][9] the concept of anti-fascism, especially as a far-left ideology, existed as early as World War II for propaganda purposes, where Stalin referred to the USSR as "anti-fascist", with the obvious implication that the USSR and Stalin were "morally better" than the Nazis and Hitler, using the misapplication of Nazism and fascism as being of the far right instead of being of the far left.[10]

If the point is to show nazism and fascism as left-wing, the point needs to be stated once, and supporting material brought in. Repeating it over and over and over again does nothing to serve the reader. RobS^{Free Kyle!} 14:25, September 12, 2021 (EDT)
