i didn't really know much about Antifa before last week. I didn't even realize their was an organized group that engages Nazis and the KKK. It appears that the first groups came together to fight against fascism in pre-war Europe. Historically they are socialist and communists. Antifa in the US seems to have been formed to counteract the White Supremists of all kinds. Definitely these groups are far left and have participated in violent acts, but their agenda in the US is generally to combat Nazis, KKK, and other hate groups. Right? I can't find anything where they advocate rounding up blacks, Jews, Latinos and Hispanics and either harming them or relocating them. I don't see where they advocate a violent take over of the government. Although I am sure they have participated in BLM and Occupy Wall Street protests and demonstrations.
Again I know little about them other that what I read about them over the last 18 hours. But from what I have read, I can't figure out why the right media and politicians like Trump are calling out Antifa for role but yet seem sympathetic or at least tolerant of the hate spewing nazis and KKK. Shouldn't the message universally be that these alt-right hate groups and all White Nationalists should be scorned and disavowed. Every American should stand against these hate groups. Shouldn't we at least acknowledge a group like Antifa that is willing to stand up to them!? Shouldn't we try to stop this spread of white supremecy before it grows deeper roots? Again other than the identified White Nationalist on this forum, shouldn't every American stand up and face-off against these far right hate groups? And why does the right media and consider Antifa to be more of a threat politically than hate groups that state publicly their desire harm anyone non-aryan?
