Antifa are basically radical fringe-left thugs. The real thing to note here is that most on the mainstream left want nothing to do with these whackos. What I like is how Antifa tweets things like "Those on the left who call us patriots, step the f*** away" (accompanied by a picture of an American flag burning) even as they rail against the very concept of freedom of speech. Nutjobs with no sense of irony are always fun.
I wonder how many of those rushing to their defense are aware that the group's ideological and strategic bible refers to the first amendment as "a secondary concern" and argues that concepts such as freedom of speech and freedom of the press should be selectively applied depending upon a group or individual's political beliefs and more specifically whether or not said beliefs align with those of Antifa. In other words, even if you're a diehard Berniecrat (or hell, even think Sanders was too conservative) who believes we need to become a truly Socialist economy with largely nationalized industries...but publicly state that you oppose political violence against those you disagree with, Antifa's ideology would dictate that you be denied freedom of speech and attacked just as violently as someone like Richard Spencer.
If these guys weren't just incompetent clowns who are largely all talk and no action types, I'd say it was only a matter of time until they ended up killing someone.
Why don't antifa ever attack or disrupt liberal speakers or rallies then?
They beat the sh**t out of an anti racist here.
