    Antifa is a term for far-left groups that resist facists [sp] and neo-Nazis.

    Imagine thinking being against fascism is far left. Good to know that Newsweek has bought into MAGA’s bullshit.

      It is often far left. Not because opposition to Nazis is but because willingness to spill nazi blood without government permission is

      That said, all are welcome to fight Nazis. They’d take fucking George Bush if he wanted to get one of Richard Spencer’s teeth embedded in his fist

      Yeah, Newsweek is horseshoe theory horseshit incarnate.

      They even have a thing at the bottom of most political articles all but declaring that centrism is the ultimate fairness! 🤦

      I don’t know if this is universal, but all the people I know who consider themselves antifa in Connecticut also actually consider themselves far-left (anarchists or some variety of communists, mostly), myself included. I’d love it if liberals would take part, but I don’t know any self-described Democrats or moderates who do.
