The Antifa Handbook

You’ve seen the headlines. University campuses set on fire. Storefronts smashed. Pensioners and women punched, kicked, and pepper-sprayed in the street by masked thugs. This is the work of the violent alt-left, or “antifa” as they prefer to be known. “Antifa” is short for “anti-fascist.” Their symbol is a red flag surrounded by a black circle bearing the words “anti-fascist action.” The first antifa group to bear the name and the symbol was Antifaschistische Aktion, a street-fighting group set up in 1930s Germany by the Communist Party of that country. Antifa like to cast themselves in the same mould as the Resistance fighters of the 1930s and Second World War -- brave, selfless souls fighting evil, genocidal Nazis. In reality, they’re a pack of thin-skinned beta males and obese feminist hamplanets ganging up on women and granddads who wear MAGA hats. While the real Resistance risked machine guns and concentration camps, today’s antifa are likely to run to their safe spaces if they hear a sufficiently loud voice. The antifa movement of the present day uses the same name and flag as the anti-fascists of the 1930s. Like their predecessors, the modern-day antifa movement is still filled with communists and far-left anarchists. Unlike the 1930s movement, they no longer confine their attacks to actual fascists, who are pretty difficult to find in modern America. Their targets now include free speech defenders like MILO, academics like Jordan Peterson, and mainstream politicians like President Trump. Even fluffy establishment conservatives like Ben Shapiro have been accused of “fascism” by this chronically deluded group. No-one on the right is safe. If you support free speech, national sovereignty, border control, or if you’re just a common Republican, you will be physically attacked by antifa if you are unfortunate enough to cross their path. They show up to right-wing events in large, threatening mobs, typically wielding weapons and wearing black masks. But they are not as threatening as they seem. Time and again, when antifa have been confronted with determined resistance, they have turned and fled. This guidebook explains the different types of antifa, from the violence addicts of the black bloc to the perpetually, impotently angry Trigglypuffs. It will recap the highs and lows of the movement, and ask the important questions. For example, why do they hate garbage cans so much?
