Or you could--gasp--read about fascism and anarcho-communism as ideologies. Nine out of ten videos will misinform you one way or the other by trying to boil down complex ideologies and large groups with disparate interpretations of said ideologies into easily-quotable sound bites.
Your criteria and the actual definitions of fascism and anarcho-communism/Antifa are at odds. Fascism is a totalitarian ideology driven primarily by racial supremacy and a cult of personality, wherein anyone who is not part of said personality cult's central figure's preferred racial makeup are ostracized, systematically denied their rights, and eventually put through ethnic cleansing that has, historically, always involved genocide.I also addressed your argument in my post where I broke down the fundamentals of Fascism and how Antifa meets 4 of the 5 criteria, and the 5th criteria is not that important. I know it's a lot of text, but please read it before trying to criticize.
Antifa, on the other hand, are violent protestors speaking out what they see is a totalitarian figure and a rise in racial-supremacist activity.
Physician, educate thyself.
Be seeing you guys on Bloodsail Buccaneers NA!
I would be wary of anybody showing up dressed in black masks.
I would call that "common sense."
Of course they are facists, if you don't agree with them they disrupt your town and do things like break windows, burn stores, riot and hit people with bicycle locks....
They are far from Nazi's though, I have yet to see antifa rounding up people and sending them to death camps, nor have I seen them take over a neighboring country or start bombing London.....

They really should be charged as domestic terrorism.
I was actually just checking. I'm not sure who "you people" refers to. You don't really need to have much more ideology than "stop taking to violence for political beliefs" to be against antifa. You seem to have some kind of emotional stake in whether antifa gets attacked or not, which is both weird and potentially criminal.
The thread is not about "How are Antifa not Shit", the claims being made are not "Antifa is Shit", the claims are "Antifa is Nazi's / Facists / Worse than neo-Nazi's". Pointing out that that simply Is. Not. True. -is NOT the same as "justifying riots and violence".
Also, keep your crappy american politics away from me, BOTH Trump and Clinton are utter shits as far as I am concerned.
Some people these days see a group that is extreme and instantly think they are nazi's. Even if said extreme group is on the far left, which were the mortal enemies of the nazi's. Since the first groups of people locked into the camps were socialists and communists. Maybe it is because these people think national socialism = marxist socialism, even though they are different
