Disappointed by this tweet SK. ANTIFA has no spokesperson who presents clear goals. Whether through community service, registering voters, etc. They’re just loud and chaotic. If I’m wrong, who can I listen to via social media that presents a vision.
I've said it before, but I need to say it again, I'm grateful for ANTIFA. It's weird that it's politically incorrect for me to say so. I'm glad that we have people in this country who stand up to fascism and bigotry and are willing to confront hate face to face. THANK YOU.

Antifa isn't an org—it's a tactic of deplatforming fascists and community self-defense used by many different groups—both anarchist + communist. When you see people in a black bloc they often come from many different orgs, who outside of antifa actions do LOTS of community work.
-
Many members of people who take part in Antifa actions are a part of Anarchist, and Socialist orgs who do tenant organizing, labor union work, immigration work, police + prison abolition work, and many other types of projects outside of Antifa actions.

Also, a “movement” like Antifa would have gotten protesters killed during the civil rights mov. Anyone can pose as Antifa and cause havoc. So violence and good deeds are by Antifa? There’s also no accountability. No thanks. I’ll use the three branches of gov and focus locally.
-
I understand the critiques about accountability, but trust in those state institutions alone has almost never resulted in social change—it's always taken forceful mass movements using direct action and making strong demands. It's the only true accountability for the state.

As to whether Antifa-like tactics being used in the civil rights movement, they definitely were, and were considered imperative by many in the movement.pic.twitter.com/51khDxtUjS

Sorry, but gun use wasn’t effective for the civil or abolition movement. Against the Klan and for individual protection, yes. Not for social change or pushing positive legislation. Only gun control act of 1968 and Mulford act.

ANTIFA is mostly Right-Wingers trying to make the Left look violent. The rest is a bunch of young dumb college kids. MLK proved that non-violent protest is the best way to make real change.

There are significantly better groups to support that don’t insight property damage and violence as a method of communication/protest

Here's the problem, tho. There's no "ANTIFA", in the sense of one big scary organization the right +alt-right want to demonize. It's mostly just people in tiny knots who defend their own towns/cities from REAL organized Nazi incursion. "antifa" is an adjective, not a noun.
