Antifa Explained

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
 
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

On May 2, 1933, Adolf Hitler’s storm troopers occupied all trade union headquarters across Germany, and union leaders were arrested and put in prison or concentration camps. Many were beaten and tortured. All of the unions’ funds – in other words, the workers’ money – were confiscated. Former union officials were put on blacklists, preventing them from finding work.

The Nazis, much like some far-rightists in our own country then and now, saw that unions exercised significant power by representing workers’ interests and promoting a democratic humanitarian outlook among workers. The unions presented a barrier to the Nazi effort to control all areas of life and create a corporate-fascist state. Therefore, the Nazis made a priority of eliminating trade unions in Germany.
Very similar to the fascists Reagan and Trump. Stop pretending that fascist are leftist who care about the working class.

Sure, bub.



German Labour Front - Wikipedia

The German Labour Front (German: Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF) was the National Socialist trade union organization which replaced the various independent trade unions of the Weimar Republic after Adolf Hitler's rise to power.

Its leader was Robert Ley, who stated its aim was 'to create a true social and productive community' (Smelster, 1988). Theoretically, DAF existed to act as a medium through which workers and owners could mutually represent their interests. Wages were set by the 12 DAF trustees. The employees were given relatively high set wages and security of employment, and dismissal was increasingly made difficult. Social security and leisure programmes were started, canteens, breaks, and regular working times were established, and German workers were generally satisfied by what the DAF gave them in repayment for their absolute loyalty.

Following the National Socialist’s Volksgemeinschaft approach towards developing a greater “people’s community”, the DAF expanded or established new social, educational, sports, health, and entertainment programs for German workers via the Strength through Joy, which included factory libraries and gardens, periodic breaks, swimming pools, low-priced hot meals, adult education programs, periodic work breaks, physical education, sports facilities, gymnastic training, orchestral music during lunch breaks, free tickets to concerts and opera, and subsidized vacations that saw over 10.3 million Germans signed up by 1938.[1] The DAF financed the building of ocean-going vessels that permitted German workers to pay minimal prices to sail to many foreign destinations. Up to six ocean liners were operating just before the start of World War II. According to the chief of the Associated Press in Berlin, Louis P. Lochner, ticket prices for ocean streamer vessels ranged from twelve to sixteen marks for “a full week on such a steamer.”[2] For those who desired vacations closer to home, the DAF constructed spa and summer resort complexes. One of the largest was located on the island of Reugen, where the DAF financed and erected a “summer resort with 20,000 beds.”.[3]

To help finance such ambitious social programs, the DAF also operated one of the largest financial institutions—the Bank of German Labour—along with additional community programs such as medical screening, occupational training, legal assistance and programs to improve the company’s working environment.[4] The DAF was one of the largest National Socialist organizations, boasting of over 35,000 full-time employees by 1939.[5] To help Hitler keep his promise to have every German capable of owning an affordable car (Volkswagen—the People’s Car) the DAF subsidized the construction of an automobile factory, which was partially paid from worker’s payroll deductions. None of the 340,000 workers who were paying for a car ever received one, since the factory had to be retooled for war production after Nazi Germany invaded Poland.

In the case of workplace abuses, the DAF set up worker councils to regulate and manage business practices, along with working hours and wages, and conflicts rising between employers and workers. In 1934, worker councils dismissed over 50 workers, while in the same year 13 employers were punished through the expropriation of their business.[6]

Employment contracts created under the Weimar Republic were abolished and renewed under new circumstances in the DAF. Employers could demand more of their workers, while at the same time workers were given increased security of work and increasingly enrolled into social security programmes for workers. The organisation, by its own definition, combated capitalism and liberalism, but also revolution against the factory owners and the National Socialist state. The DAF, however, did openly prefer to have large companies nationalised by the German state, instead of privately owned companies.

DAF membership was theoretically voluntary, but any workers in any area of German commerce or industry would have found it hard to get a job without being a member. Membership required a fee within the range of 15 pfennig to three Reichsmark, depending on the category a member fell into in a large scale of 20 membership groups. A substantially large amount of income was raised through fees. In 1934, the total intake was 300,000,000 Reichsmark. In American dollars, the "annual income from dues to the Labour Front came to $160,000,000 in 1937" and "$200,000,000" by 1939.[7]

There were two main components of the DAF and these were:

Several other sub-organisations were set up:

  • Kraft durch Freude (KdF; Strength through Joy) – Organisation giving the workers cheap/free holidays in addition to subsidised sporting and leisure facilities.
  • Schönheit der Arbeit (SdA; Beauty of Labour) – Aimed to make workplaces more enticing to workers (e.g., renovations of outdated factories, new canteens for workers, smoking-free rooms, cleaner working spaces etc.).

The Front also organised the Reichsberufswettkampf, a national vocational competition.
 
You didn't watch the video.

We don’t need to watch the video. Antifas actions are enough to suffice, and actually tell the truth of what they are about. If your goal is to shut down free speech, heckle and try to shut down or shout over speakers, instead of debating them, then you’re a fascist. If you run around with masks and weapons, punching “fascists” in the face because of their views, your a fascist. If you wish to label everything you don’t like or find offensive as hate speech that should be banned, you’re a fascist. If you call rioting and angry mobs carrying out violence and destruction of property circa third Reich era browncoats, “protesting”, you’re probably a fascist. If you want to wildly unfairly generalize and lump together large diverse groups of people, and call the derogatory names, you’re a fascist. If you’re out there recreating crystal nacht, because of fascism, you’re a fascist. If your pre judging people (pre-judge...prejudge...prejudice, that’s where the term comes from), based on skin color, sex, gender, age, religion, etc...you’re a fascist.
Go debate a republican and let me know how that works out.
I do all the time, with better results. Believe it or not they are more intellectually honest. Take for instance your dribble response to my post...are you arguing for 2 wrongs make a right? If so that should’ve been debunked by like the 2nd grade for you. I can’t really back people who don’t believe in free speech, who believe in censorship, violence over debate of ideas, destroying property of the innocent, you know all the things that are fascistic in nature.
You are only fooling yourself if you think anything productive will come from debating a republican.
No, you’re the fool whose demonstrating that you are set in your ways. As evidenced by the statement saying “nothing productive will come from debating a republican.” This only implies the best course of action is to ignore and skip debate, and move to violence. Violence is better than free speech. This only implies that all republicans are all alike, and all one monolithic group moving together as one...which is not only wrong but exactly what you’re guilty of as demonstrated by that post. You also assume I haven’t already had success. I have.

The self proclaimed anti-fascists, who use fascist tactics are a joke, and seen as a joke by people grounded in reality. This is why you’re trying to recruit on USMB...because people are seeing what you really are and calling antifa out. And so now you’re having to go out and recruit.

Mark Bray wrote the Anti-Fascist Handbook, and does a pretty good job at explaining the evolution of the movement. The video is 26 minute so I only expect one of you to watch it. The rest of you will remain ignorant, yet continue to post as if you know what we are about.

Antifa is merely a collection of weirdos who want to be tough guys, but youre too chicken shit to get into one on one fights. You guys just throw rocks and hit people with sticks, then immediately run away as you hide behind your coward masks. Everyone hates you, except for those of us on the right because, you make the left look really bad. All those videos of Antifa attacking people at Trump rallies infuriated the nation, which is why Trump won, so thank you for that. YOU won him the election. I really hope we see you guys again in 3 years.

We may be weirdoes but the youngsters are very active in their attempt to force change. What are you doing to end fascism?

Facism: a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition

Learn the definition and then quit being a fucking weirdo.

How how does ANTIFA benefit anyone, exactly?
Especially White people?

French ANTIFA and French Muslims seem to have the same goals.





The difference is I think the ANTIFA is more retarded, because they're harming their own people.

It's obvious that you don't even know the definition of thing thing you claim you are fighting.
 
let's not let the message of anti fascism get lost over the actions of a minor fringe who resort to violent tactics...

violent tactics exist on the fringe of most every political agenda, so this fad of knee jerk attacks and blind demonization of "ANTIFA" is reverberated propaganda peddled by dishonest parrots.

the vast majority of Americans are non violent peaceful "ANTIFA"

by definition, that is a simple fact.

Fuck 'em.
