    I am Antifa. Antifa means Anti Fascist … so yea, if MAGAs “hated enemy” is an antifascist movement then they have basically just classified themselves.

      It is not just MAGA literally the whole world is fascist. This is why Antifacists are so hated amongst leaders of the world.

      Did you forgot about the World Trade protests? Antifacists are at odds with the entire business world AKA big money. The leaders of the world cannot let this movement catch on.

      I really hate how media gladly reused this label.

      Antifa, pronounced ant-tea-fuh, allowed it to be disconnected from the actual words it was shortened from, and then used as a boogieman.

      We all know there is no central antifa command center, headquarters, or organization. We are “antifa” because we are anti fascism.

      As you say, you can label yourself, but you can also label yourself by your enemies.

      The anti-fascists are Trump’s enemies, therefore…
