'There Is No Antifa Organization,' But Trump Still Wants to Designate It a 'Major Terrorist' Group | Common Dreams

President Trump's plan to designate antifa as a terrorist organization sparks outrage and concern. But what is antifa really? With no clear structure or leaders, how can it be labeled as such? Is this an attack on free speech and dissent? #antifa #terrorism #FirstAmendment

    Fascist is afraid of antifascists, what a surprise

      That’s one thing, but since antifa isn’t an organization, he can just label anyone as an antifa member.

        That’s irrelevant, if they can start arresting people for “supporting terrorist organisation”

          They still need some justification for MAGA, and they will accept however weak it is.

    I would like them to explain what Antifa really is.

    A group that is against fascism? A group that is against Nazis?

    Why is this bad?

      I remember asking that question all the way back in r/the_donald and the answer was: antifa is just a name, in reality they are nazis in disguise

    This is not about an organisation. This is a label to be stuck on anyone they consider inconvenient or annoying.

    That’s the whole idea.

    Create any remotely legal means to throw all of us dissenters into camps to die.

    It’s obviously so he can jail anyone he wants in the harshest way, not really any point in seeing it any other way

    Well technically there is an Antifa organization but it doesn’t really represent the whole of Antifa ideology if that makes sense. Like theres an office space and a membership roster but the vast majority of Antifa have nothing to do with it.
