General Discussion

Antifa is a collective political organization in Germany and currently more of a militant left wing organization, often aligned with Black Bloc, which tends to be more Nihilist.
The Right's Boogyman, the Soros Foundation, wouldn't touch the German Antifa organization with a ten-foot pile.

In this context, Antifa can be fit into the radical "burn it all down" category of political movements.

However, antifa (or "auntie-fa" as I tend to call it) in the US is a recent center/center-left pro-democracy movement that is autonomous, decentralized and aligned to protecting the existing Constitutional Status Quo under local politics rather than some overarching organizational manifesto.

They are radically different, if you'd pardon the pun.

The German Antifa collective considers the US antifa movement to be weak, middle class bourgeoisie, and performative - because we aren't attempting to tear it down the "hypocritical promise" of Democracy and create a Anarcho-Leftist union of workers, scientists, and artists

The author has good points, even though their understanding of political movements is a bit dated.
