…To remember when “insurrections against civil government” or a bad thing.
That’s “Anti”-Fa, projecting their emblem onto the wall of the Multnomah County courthouse in Portland.
It is literally no less objectionable than projecting a swastika, by the way. The emblem is directly descended from that of the German communist party’s version of the Brownshirts.
Somehow, the media never covers it that way…
What the media is also neglecting, is the continuing number of corporations that are getting in bed with the government, which is actual fascism.
The worst thing about being antifa would be when you notice that your peers are all bourgeois slackers.
Communist worker organizations always have a shortage of actual . . . workers.
All you need to know about Oregon is that its Democrat governor requires wearing masks in public outdoor settings even if you are vaxxed, and it has the per capita covid rate of Texas and Florida combined.
And, just in time, this week’s Commentary podcast discusses the demographics of Antifa & the woke with political scientist Wilfred Reilly: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/what-george-orwell-knew-about-wokeness/id1081967784?i=1000539070248
In a nut shell: it is overwhelmingly white, middle class and higher, and dominated by college age women.
I’m old enough to remember, AHEM, when people who were genuinely anti-fascist knew better than to put their **** flag in ******* German! What’s next, hailing their leaders in victory?
Alles klar, Herr Kommissar?
BH, right on point! Would be progressives would do well to take a clear eyed look at the history of Interessengemeinschaft Farbenindustrie AG between 1925 and 1938. That history is literally the current playbook of Big Pharma and Big Tech in this country.
American antifa is an offshoot of the communist, Stalin-controlled “anti fascist” paramilitary in 1920s Germany.
This is not a secret.
BTW, in the 20s and 30s, Stalin labeled ANY communist group not under his control as “fascist.”
I have one question about AntiFa. Have they all been fully jabbed? If not, they are just selfish, uncaring jerks. Of course, they are stopping short of calling them right wing white supremacists.
