The Antifa came here from Germany and is a direct descendant of the communists who roiled Weimar Germany in the early 30s. They thereby ended up giving Germany leadership by another, competing socialist sect, the Nazis, who hated and eradicated them.

Partisan anti-American.

Instead of seeing it as a major threat to America
his concern is that it is a major gift to the right.

Image result for Noam Chomsky revolution

From David Horowitz’s FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile: NOAM CHOMSKY

“After U.S. Navy SEALs found and killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in Pakistan on May 1, 2011, Chomsky said:

It’s increasingly clear that the operation was a planned assassination, multiply violating elementary norms of international law. There appears to have been no attempt to apprehend the unarmed victim ...

This is the start of that narrative! The media and those who play their games, like Noam, are setting it up that the antifa fascists are “major gift of the right.”

Soon, the media will start saying that the antifa fascists have flipped agendas and now support the right, because the right uses them to continually drum-up hate, etc...

You are correct, but I believe that this is the start of that narrative!

Chomsky see’s them as loose cannons who will draw return fire and fury as never seen before.

That is his only qualm with Antifa.

He is already writing the narrative that attacked are the true monsters.

Antifa are fascists "forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism". They are the American Taliban.

Chomsky means that street action is unnecessary and counterproductive when the Culture War is already being won via courts, MSM, and education. He has no objection to killing people who disagree with him if he believes those who disagree have the upper hand.

Yes and that's right to a point ... the Left was indeed winning the Culture War via the courts, the MSM and [mis] education. The Left has been on insidious Long March through our institutions for decades, and they had almost reached total victory – but for the election of Donald Trump.

That's why they're wild with hatred, and now they're pushing it too far, too fast. I guarantee you that millions of Americans are becoming alarmed by the Leftist mobs like they never have been before.

And despite all the weak-kneed pols who are running away from the president, the Left's current behavior will solidify support for Trump –not diminish it. That's what Chomsky is recognizing.

From David Horowitz’s FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
Profile:
NOAM CHOMSKY

“Chomsky was one of the chief deniers of the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s, which took place in the wake of the Communist victory and American withdrawal from Indochina. He directed vitriolic attacks towards the reporters and witnesses who testified to the human catastrophe that was taking place there.

Initially, Chomsky tried to minimize the deaths (a “few thousand”) and compared those killed by Pol Pot and his followers to the collaborators who had been executed by resistance movements in Europe at the end of World War II. By 1980, however, it was no longer possible to deny that some 2 million of Cambodia's 7.8 million people had perished at the hands of the Communists.

But Professor Chomsky continued to deny the genocide, proposing that the underlying problem may have been a failure of the rice crop. As late as 1988, Chomsky returned to the subject and insisted that whatever had happened in Cambodia, the U.S. was to blame.”

“Chomsky also detests the state of Israel, a country he regards as playing the role of Little Satan to the American Great Satan and functioning strategically as an “offshore military and technology base for the United States.””

Exactly. It's like factions of the Mafia being upset with attention-seekers like John Gotti or Joe Colombo.

Yet, John McCain and Little Marco are too stupid to realize it.

“Chomsky see’s them as loose cannons who will draw return fire and fury as never seen before.”

You are correct, and it is betrayed by Noam’s statement about “the most violent and most brutal” will prevail once the threshold of violence is crossed.

And that is the traditional right...American Patriots...that he knows will destroy the left.

Physically.

And this has been known by the thinking left for over a century.

Exactly! And that’s why I don’t state he made a good call here. He made the call to label the Right “Fascists”.

This is a typical Leftist tactic. They offer up opinions as if fact to buttress their other toss away premises. It’s just pure propaganda from the get-go.

Who is acting like Fascists? The Right isn’t even standing up to anyone, let alone these Leftist Fascists, and I’m not even comfortable using that word. It’s a rather imprecise toss out whenever folks are not happy with the other side.

Anarchist saboteurs would be more accurate.

...............I think these radical lefties who like to beat up defenseless people in street brawls are someday going to be in for a RUDE awakening.

This upcoming SFO demonstration could be the one where the right shows up all organized leaving a bunch of lefties laying on the ground.
