The president proposed the US designate it a terrorist organization – but experts say it’s just a loosely organized movement

I dont have a membership card and I have never given them money. Never been asked for any. It seems to me that they have worthy aims in opposing nazis and that is something that all freedom loving people should get behind and support.
We should not allow nazis to march through our towns and cities spreading a message of hate against our neighbours. That was is the path to a fascist state. The UK has a proud history of opposing fascists, thinking of the demonstrations against the National Front and Mosley.
Britains shame is that there were enough idiots prepared to back these scumbags.
I dont know much about the US history of fighting the Klan and their related bodies. There are certainly enough of these grubby organisations out there. History from the 20s and 30s show us that it is dangerous to give nazis an inch.
We cannot allow them to own our streets and spread their shit in public places.
Democracy and equality is always under assault and needs to be defended. Antifa are your local heroes.
A WEEKEND festival in Wrexham town centre will celebrate the life of a local miner who went on to become a freedom fighter in Europe.

I think one thing is opposing fascism, another is supporting a group which might have more opinions than just opposing fascism.
In a narrative filled world it's difficult to know what groups stand for, and what their own goals are.
I can only speak as I find. Antifa has its roots in opposition to fascists the like of which we saw wrek the world in the 40s. You cant just ignore nazis and hope that they go away, The evidence is that they just get stronger.
I cant speak for any other antifa supporters but I personally will not sit by and watch nazis march through my town. It would be a betrayal of all that is decent and all that my Grandparents fought against.
I am also getting to the age where I am losing patience with trying to reason with this trash. Their views are evil and are anathema to all in civilised society, conservative or liberal. Hatred of one group or another is not a legitimate political stance unless that groups sole purpose is to hate everyone who looks different to their view of society.
They should be crushed like dung beetles.
But then when you have anti-fascists who act like fascists, like the USSR did, then what's the point?
There is no equivalence between the two sides. Its good versus evil and if you look away from these types they spread like Japanese Knotweed.
You are a liar.
That is how theyu act they are communists and act like fascists the equivelance is real adn accurate.
Nonsense.
Political labels like communist, socialists, capitalist, libertarian, fascist, democrat, etc., says absolutely NOTHING about how they are going to act at any particular time, or any particular group.
And it is really absurd to say communists act like fascists since communism is all about supporting the proletariat workers, while fascist are all about the wealthy elite.
They are exact opposites.
For example, Hitler was picked by Hindenburg as the agent of the wealthy elite, in order to wipe out the communists.
There is nothing inherently wrong with the word fascist.
The word means a coalition of the aristocracy, military, and corporations.
It is just that fascists also tend to be against unions, for wars, for low wages, etc.
