They dress in all black, wear black masks to hide their identities and attempt to disrupt rallies that are held in support of Trump. They frequently behave immaturely and engage in a variety of childish, cowardly and criminal actions such as using pepper spray and bike locks on unsuspecting people, throwing rocks, bricks, bottles, cement-filled soda cans, balloons filled with their own waste, punches, [[milkshaking|assorted drinks]] and M-80s, marching with flags and clubs, and committing [[vandalism]], acting purely on emotion because they do not have the maturity, the intelligence or the courage to debate, argue or communicate their beliefs. They are militant, far-Left extremists that are a product of far-Left ideology, education, and funding. Despite claims to the contrary by the liberal media who claim that it is a "racially and socially diverse" group of "anti-racists", Antifa is, in fact, racist and made up almost entirely of privileged middle-class whites.<ref>[https://thefederalist.com/2019/07/01/antifa-is-mostly-privileged-white-dudes/ Antifa Is Mostly Made Up Of Privileged White Dudes] at The Federalist</ref><ref>Williams, Thomas D.

Socialists consider all forms of [[capitalism]] as "fascist," and the repeal of the [[Obamacare]] [[individual mandate]] was a devastating blow to "socialist progress." "Anti-fascism" really means opposition to all forms of capitalism and liberalism coupled with the use of violence. Opposition to "racism" is just an excuse to vilify, silence, and employ violence against people they consider capitalist exploiters and oppressors.

==100 year plan==
 
−
Antifa claims it has a "hundred-year plan" in which they want to transform the United States into exactly the opposite of what it has been.  Antifa has rallied an army around its objectives.  People who "identify" as straight, white, males are excluded, and are being targeted clearly as the enemy, whom they deem as "fascists" and "colonizers", and whom they seek to eliminate,<ref>https://www.intellihub.com/intellihubs-shepard-ambellas-reveals-antifa-playbook-must-watch/</ref> even though its membership is almost entirely white and largely male.
 
−
 
 
−
Antifa has drawn on the organizing principles and game plan of the [[SDS]], [[Weather Underground]] (WUO), and [[Black Panthers]] of the 1960s. Like the SDS, WUO, and Black Panthers they seek violent Marxist, and Maoist, revolution. The SDS was a million member band of students, predominantly white, from which a few hardcore, violent radicals were recruited which constituted the Weather Underground.  Under Marxist and Maoist theory of communist revolution, the Black Panthers were designated as the spearhead of the revolution, with the predominantly white WUO and SDS as "support" groups.
 
−
 
 
−
Copying the 1960s model, Antifa is the modern violent, predominantly white, support group to the spearhead of Marxist revolution, Black Lives Matter.  All these groups trace their organization and ideals from the veritable ant heap of American [[Communist front]] organizations over the past fifty-plus years.
 
−
 
 
−
Marxist revolution in the 1960s and 1970s in America failed; however through tutoring and mentoring from oldtime believers, true dedicated Marxist revolutionaries study and learn from their previous failures. The question America faces today is, are the ordinary people who believe in democracy, freedom, and the goodness of America willing to stand up to senseless violence and criminals, and their corporate sponsors, who have the police and taxpaying citizens intimidated?  Are Americans in 2020 willing to lay down and be slaves to Communism?  This is the objective that these [[community organizer]]s have been working toward for decades.

{{quotebox|"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."}}
 
−
The planners, supporters and instigators of these attacks claim that the attacks on the family and church are "completed".  They claim that the takeover of education and brainwashing in schools is "complete".  All that remains for these criminal revolutionaries is violence in the street, and eliminating the enemies of revolution, which has already occurred in countless [[nation state]]s on the planet over the past 100 years.  Now America faces on its own shores what it has fought to protect other peoples overseas from for the past century.

“White” with an uppercase W does not mean white as most Americans use the word. “White” in [[radical]] parlance means anyone of any race, creed, nationality, color, sex, or sexual preference who embraces capitalism, [[free market]]s, limited government, and American traditional culture and values. These beliefs are deemed to be irredeemably evil, and anyone who aligns with them is “white” in spirit and thus equally guilty of “white crimes.”<ref>https://www.foxnews.com/us/dc-white-protester-yell-face-black-police-officers-part-of-problem</ref><ref>https://capitalresearch.org/article/blm-roots/</ref>

The modern re-incarnation of Antifa was formed in 1988 in Minneapolis, Minnesota as well as Toronto, Canada to supposedly counteract white supremacist and Neo-Nazi "groups" which consisted of no more than a few dozen members in any city.
 
−
 
 
−
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).
 
−
 
 
−
It was at the Fourth World Congress of the Comintern in 1922 that the plan took shape. Moscow formed the slogan “To the Masses” for its united front strategy and sought to join together the various communist and workers’ parties of Germany under a single ideological banner that it controlled. Both the communist and fascist systems were based on [[collectivism]] and [[economic planning|state-planned economies]]. Both also proposed systems wherein the individual was heavily controlled by a powerful state, and both were responsible for large-scale atrocities and [[genocide]]. In addition, the term "anti-fascism" was originally used by Stalin and the USSR prior to and during World War II as part of propaganda purposes to make the USSR seem mainstream by comparison to Nazi Germany.<ref name="Washington Examiner"/><ref>Davies, Norman: ''No Simple Victory''<br />"Anti-Fascism" did not offer a coherent political ideology. In terms of ideas, it was an empty vessel, a mere political dance....It gave the false impression that principled democrats believing in the rule of law and freedom of speech could rub along fine with the dictators of the proletariat, or that democratic socialists had only minor differences with Communism. What is more, it opened up a wonderful arena for the activities of disciplined activists, whose training in the Leninist techniques of splitting and dividing adversaries would run rings round wooly intellectuals....If you were a French trade unionist, tired of the wrangles of the Left, or a British Empire loyalist baffled by the complexities of modern politics or a Christian peace worker hoping to avoid another war, anti-Fascism was for you! Only in the background was the unspoken dialect that, if Fascism was to be Bad, the Good had to lie with the originator of anti-Fascism -- Joseph Stalin's USSR.</ref>

Antifaschistische Aktion was one of the paramilitaries which proliferated during the economic instability and political unrest of the [[Weimar Republic]].  The concept of anti-fascism 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.<ref name="Washington Examiner">https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/why-you-should-never-use-the-term-anti-fascist/article/2632847</ref>  After [[World War II]] when fascism was defeated Antifaschistische Aktion  absorbed the state ideology and rhetoric of the [[East German]] socialist state.  The [[Berlin Wall]] was called the Antifaschistische Wall or the anti-fascist defense barrier.  The East German state and [[Stasi]] is the model of Antifa objectives.

Modern Antifa groups emerged in the 1970s in the Anglo-American sphere and took root 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 2016 annual report by Germany's domestic intelligence service, the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), notes the same point: From the viewpoint of the “left-wing extremist,” the label of “fascism” as pushed by Antifa often does not refer to actual fascism, but is merely a label assigned to “[[capitalism]].”
 
−
 
 
−
While leftist extremists claim to be fighting “fascism” while launching their attacks on other groups, the report states the term “fascism” has a double meaning under the extreme-left ideology, indicating the “fight against the capitalist system.” Antifascism is a strategy, not an ideology. They argue that the capitalist state produces fascism, or at least tolerates it. Therefore, anti-fascism is directed not only against actual or supposed right-wing extremists but also always against the state and its representatives, in particular members of the security authorities.<ref>https://www.verfassungsschutz.de/de/service/glossar/_lA#antifaschismus</ref>
