The Antifa Fad: Totalitarian Anti-Fascism?
12th May 2011
The word “antifa” comes from Antifaschismus, the German term for anti-fascism. Dressed in their preferred street garb of black clothes, boots, balaclavas, and anti-Nazi patches are young people, almost all white, driven by an ideology as powerful and magnetic as communism. French philosopher Alain Finkielkraut has warned, “I think that the lofty idea of ‘the war on racism’ is gradually turning into a hideously false ideology. And this anti-racism will be for the 21st century what communism was for the 20th century: a source of violence.”
Antifa activists do not debate their enemies; after all, their enemies are fascists and thus have no legitimacy. Their goal is to confront and silence them.
And this differs from fascists … how?

When the Leftist elites do something like this it’s “pure” and possibly even “holy” because they believe from the bottom of their hearts that they are better than those on the Right. If the Right even opens it’s collective mouth and expresses an opinion that the Left does not approve of, then clearly the Right is fascist. If the Right fails to admit their fascism when confronted by the Left, then they are hypocrites as well. Sigh.
