The modern re-incarnation of Antifa was founded in 1988 in Minneapolis, Minnesota as well as Toronto, Canada to counteract white supremacist groups and Neo-Nazi groups.
Antifaschistische Aktion was one of the paramilitaries which proliferated during the economic instablity and political unrest and economic instability of the [[Wiemer Republic]]. After [[World War II]] when fascism was defeated Antifaschistische Aktion absorbed the state ideology and rhetoric of the [[East German]] socialist state.

Modern Antifa groups emerged in the 1970s in the Anglo-American sphere and took roo in the British punk scene in opposition to the growth of racist skinheads. The subculture crossed over to the [[United States]] and forms the basis of American Antifa.

The organization can be traced to the “[[united front]]” of the [[Soviet Union]]’s Communist International ([[Comintern]]) during the Third World Congress in [[Moscow]] in June and July 1921. The idea of the united front strategy was to bring together left-wing organizations in order to incite [[communist]] [[revolution]]. The Soviets believed that following [[Russia]]’s revolution in 1917, communism would next spread to [[Germany]], since Germany had the second-largest communist party, the KPD (Communist Party of Germany).
