ANTIFA was started in the UK in 1985.
"black Bloc" was developed in Germany after the 1977 Brokdorf demonstration
ANTIFA is made up of leftists of various pedigrees, and the flag represents both the communist beliefs (red) and the anachists (black), it has no relation what so ever to the "Antifaschistische Aktion" of post world war II germany, which also was a communist in origin. ANTIFA attracts certain segments of subcultures from punks, skinheads, to soccer hooligans firms, clubs, whatever. Here in the US it sprang from SHARP, and ARA which both took an unfortunate far left turn towards communism, instead of bashing racists in our scene and simply enjoying the victory and enjoying shows. From there it became less "taboo" to be in a subculture and rich college kids glammed onto the ANTIFA badge and started doing hairy girl porn and getting face punched.
No, you may be confused or dishonest. I condemned both sides that sought violence many times now. Notice the bold? Now don't swing the goalposts violently to the excessive use of force the Nazi you're defending used when he sucker punched a 95 lb woman. Lol!
See this is what I mean when I say excusing. You are portraying her as helpless when she brought weighted gloves and had a weapon in her hand. She also swung first. You deny your argument in the same post that you try to make it again.
Keep trying to whitewash.
Antifa clashed with the brown shirts, who disbanded in 1934, so they were not even post ww2, they were pre ww2. Second the antifa of pree ww2 is tied to the antifa of post ww2, they are all social antifascists, all with the same goals, and they all lack central leadership. The antifa current flag has been used since the end of ww2, and pre ww2 they were fighting brownshirts and were so agressive that apparently antifa was seen as the bad guys and brown shirts as the lesser evil.
Also to note the brownshirts and some modern antifa use the same jagged A logo, like they are completely unable to understand irony, or even use google.
I what universe does the big Nazi look like he's defending himself as he's charging after someone half his size?
On the bold, we both agree.She's holding a bottle, bottles that ANTIFA were putting m80's in and throwing (that's an IED). She voluntarily engaged in combat and bragged about going to do so. They are both scum.

Your argument is what- the neo-nazi is justified but she isn't?

That individual altercation was quite clearly one-sided. That is different than the groups that sought violence.
I meant pre that's about the only thing you got right. The Wiki is wrong. it tries to relate groups 50 years separate as the same lineage, it is not. you could call it a "Revival" at best but there is no direct lineage to the "Antifaschistische Aktion" of the 1930's. That Wiki you seem to be geting your information from is also wrong. ANTIFA has been here long before trump.

I first heard of ANTIFA when it was called the AFA, and the ARA, and SHARP, back in the day you had actual fascists bonehead types in the hardcore/punk/oi music scenes and there was a need for this. since the early 90's it was all but driven out. what you see today, are not these people, but wannabe hammers looking for nails. The use of the name ANTIFA btw here in the usa rose concurrently with the rise of MLS soccer.
Nope. She is brandishing weapons. You need to quit saying you are against both sides and make every single attempt possible to defend her when she is clearly ready and probably already did instigate violence against someone else.
She was wearing gloves and carrying a bottle. That doesn't really sound like it justifies being sucked punched by a former Marine.
If you use sole lineage alone, no groups descended from any other antifa except maybe one or two. They are all seperate organizations working under the same philosophy and goals. However the original antifa was originally the iron front, which was a militant wing of germany's social democrats, basically the socialists version of the brownshirts. They did not become antifa until later, but until after ww2, they kept the 3 arrow symbol, which later was changed to the symbol in use today post war, which was the red and black flag.
To say one branched from another is in itself false, as they all seem to be seperate entities. However you mention the afa, they are among the most ruthless of the antifa groups, and ar known for using times and remote detonated firebombs.

Why are you so intent on making excuses for her? She was carrying a WEAPON and had (self admitted) weighted gloves on, you know the kind you use to injure people. I am not excusing his or her behavior but I am realistic enough to know neither is innocent in this, despite all your protestations to the contrary.
That's why I don't believe you are condemning both sides, because you keep trying, over and over, to make excuses for your (somewhat) fellow travelers.
Who did she injure with her "weapon"? Was she arrested?
You have no idea, do you?
The origin and meaning of the arrow symbol has always been in dispute. It was first seen in the US in the late 80's as it was adopted by numerous socialist groups masking as "anti-fascist" groups, though on a small scale.
The AFA fought actual nazis and fascists particularly the National Front and the BNP. This again was mainly through the underground music scene. In the US we were going through the same thing. AFA faded away and most started calling themselves ANTIFA.
Your post is a special kind of stupid. If she is brandishing a weapon and appears ready to use it, she doesn't need to injure someone and she doesn't need to be arrested for it to be dangerous. Just quit making excuses, they are getting worse.
So you don't actually know that she hit anyone or did anything wrong. Thank you for confirming your ignorance.
Actually understanding the actions of others is what tolerance is all about. :roll:
