Thank you! ZDU Sep 19 #21

Well that's pretty interesting... jmbar2 Sep 19 #33

Wrong SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #2

S/He's not "wrong" AZJonnie Sep 19 #7

Read it again SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #8

Okay, that one word is probably incorrect AZJonnie Sep 19 #11

It's not correct in the least SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #12

I don't disagree with what you're asserting Antifa is today. AZJonnie Sep 19 #16

It's an effective fucking meme, comparing gis to antifa SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #17

No it isn't. Because the military is not "anti-fascist". LeftInTX Sep 19 #19

Youre disagreeing with OP SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #23

It actually goes both ways. Because they are not the same. LeftInTX Sep 19 #29

I do understand why you took it in totality the way you did. Perhaps WG will come along to clarify. AZJonnie Sep 19 #20

I took it in totality because HE said modern antifa is simply a front group for the communism SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #24

Yes, I already said I understood why you took it the way you did. The word "today" clouded the point. AZJonnie Sep 19 #25

I could have used the term neo-antifa I guess... WarGamer Sep 19 #40

I think you're engaging in sophistry SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #43

Fortunately I never claimed that. WarGamer Sep 19 #44

Spurious SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #45

Fun fact! dpibel Sep 19 #51

Hey on the plus side the OP managed to get through a comment about WW2 BannonsLiver Sep 19 #31

I never said that... got a link? WarGamer Sep 19 #41

Thanks for the history lesson. Always good to have the facts AZJonnie Sep 19 #3

Ah, thank you AZJonnie Sep 19 #39

Speak for yourself WSHazel Sep 19 #5

You're completely missing the point. WarGamer Sep 19 #6

These people are (or were, until recently) out in the streets actually fighting real neo-nazis SamuelTheThird Sep 19 #9

GIs were absolutely anti-fascist in service DoBW Sep 19 #34

Neither should people who want Medicare For All leftstreet Sep 19 #10

Really, nobody in the USA uses the term Antifa in that sense. MineralMan Sep 19 #13

Your dad was under orders of the US military which was fighting Germany, which happened to be fascist. LeftInTX Sep 19 #15

More nomenclature. MineralMan Sep 19 #18

My dad got in during Korea. He was a B29 pilot. Then stayed in for 20 years. He was also sent to Vietnam LeftInTX Sep 19 #26

Thank you! GI's are not protesters! The US military is also not technically "anti-fascist". LeftInTX Sep 19 #14

Words can have more than one meaning LostOne4Ever Sep 19 #22

Calling Antifa an "organization" today is a stretch. yardwork Sep 19 #27

Don't Exist OC375 Sep 19 #28

It does exist. Portland has an active group. You can read more on their website: LeftInTX Sep 19 #32

nice meme WarGamer Sep 19 #42

Wingnuts/MAGAts from their ignorance usually blur words/concepts, such as saying "We are a REPUBLIC, not a DEMOCRACY" & UTUSN Sep 19 #35

Oddly, if you ask any Republican if they support fascism they would say, "No". LeftInTX Sep 19 #37

Remind me again which side Stalin and the USSR ended up on in World War Two? muriel_volestrangler Sep 19 #36

Many of them also fought against Communists in the Korean War LeftInTX Sep 19 #46

Trump would love your OP. Kingofalldems Sep 19 #47

ok WarGamer Sep 19 #48

When are you headed over to Glendale for the big CK lovefest? BannonsLiver Sep 19 #49

What's in Glendale? Other than nice rug and flooring stores? WarGamer Sep 19 #50

Maybe Huntington Beach would be more of his vibe? fujiyamasan Sep 20 #56

Democrats are the party of slavery Buzz cook Sep 20 #52

WarGamer? You've no idea how wrong you are. ANTI-fascist equals ancianita Sep 20 #53

All that time and effort and still wrong. WarGamer Sep 20 #55

Yes. ancianita Sep 20 #57

And how can you say they were "never" a communist front group. WarGamer Sep 20 #59

Here is antifa's letter to trump, the first and last time antifa in the U.S. spoke up for itself. ancianita Sep 20 #54

Neo-Nazis aren't an organization either... it's a loose alliance of like minded people mirroring a historical group WarGamer Sep 20 #58

I'm going to self del... not because it's inaccurate... WarGamer Sep 20 #60
