When I use the term Antifa I am referring to people who I consider to be classic fascists- who believe in using violent force to shut down people who don't share their views. They are literally only going after white supremacists and Nazis. These are not people attacking Joe Biden rallies, whom they also probably universally dislike. They are acting out of self defense, as white supremacists and Nazis threaten the lives of all marginalized people in this country. Think about it like this, you have freedom of speech, but if someone is threatening violence the state legally says that is unacceptable. However, state is not protecting people from these threats, so antifa is stepping in to protect their community. When the Nazis started in Germany, they only used violence against Communists, and yeah, the KPD was committed to overthrowing the electoral system of Weimar Germany as well. History shows us (in my opinion at least) that we need to draw a very sharp line in the sand on this issue. Extrajudicial violence that is not self-defense (in a legal sense, using the least aggressive means of averting an imminent danger started by another) is never okay. --- September 1, 2003; November 4, 2007; September 2, 2013 Congratulations to DP Oblivion in the Guru Contest! <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:926259650] in Politics C...
