The Austin based Anti-fascists group, Red Guards Austin, has been gaining prominence in the Texas Antifa movement. As we have previously reported, they are a self described autonomous Marxist-Leninist-Maoist collective and their website contains multiple reports on their confrontational and often armed demonstrations.
They also openly advocate for violent revolution against capitalism.
“we must seriously take up the task not only of self-defense on the personal and community level, but we must also struggle to unite all genuine antifascists behind the necessity of revolution. Revolution means the long fight for communism and nothing less.”
In a recent blog titled “Everywhere a Battlefield“, this trend continues as they claim “The war is not coming—it is here and now” and then discuss the need for weapons training and more “revolutionary violence”.
“The war is not coming—it is here and now. We must take our historic task seriously. We must accumulate forces and steel them in small-scale street battles. We must respond accordingly to the apocalyptic reality that capitalism-imperialism has forced on us.”
“So what does self-defense mean for the rest of us? What does it mean for enemies of the state? It can only mean that we must develop red physical culture. It means that we must contend for ground that has been ceded to the enemy. That we train in both hand-to-hand combat and in weapons. We must take community self-defense seriously. We must walk away from the comfort zone of the legal left, and by extension it means that those who protect them are sure to attack us. It means that we return to our filthy neighborhoods of cramped apartment complexes and organize right there among our class. It means that we choose the field of combat thoughtfully and not out of uninventive and timid habit. We cannot expect a mass antifascist movement to develop its necessarily revolutionary character unless we move away from the state-ordained protest zones.
“Reclaiming violence means making revolutionary violence available to be utilized by all types of comrades at all levels and all abilities. It means training physically in flexible ways applied to the specific conditions of specific groups. Everyone, regardless of ability, can improve. This is not to do away all at once with the division of violent labor; the science of revolutionary violence is universal, and it must at the same time be applied with great care to the specific. In this process of trial and error we sharpen and broaden our skillsets. Martial arts, firearms, and sports must be seen as cultural battlefields as well as invaluable tools in our revolutionary toolkit.”
For months, militant antifa groups have been engaging in targeted political violence. They claim they exist to fight racists, bigots, and white supremacists; and their allies in the media often echo these claims. But if the actions from the Red Guards Austin is any indication, this is nothing more than a public relations campaign to recruit moderates. Their end goal is communism, a political ideology responsible for over 94 million deaths in the 20th century.

And to think Mitt Romney defended ANTIFA.
The Leftist loons have adopted Hamas/ISIS imagery, not surprisingly.
Antifa would be dispatched in very short order if their enemies - conservative American citizens - decided to indulge them in the CW2 fantasies. Which is bound to happen if they keep this up.
Needless to say, if any group other that Leftist thugs were pulling this sh/t, they’d be in jail right now. The violent, radical Left has long been coddled by the vast majority of big media, academia, law enforcement, and politicians.
What strikes me most about the pictures in the post is that these groups are predominately white. I might expect that in Berkeley, but in Texas? Is this my “white privilege racial bias” clouding my perception?
These people have been getting away with too much.
“Unfortunately that lake accident..... well you know the story.”
Cowards everywhere threw their guns into a lake and claimed a boating accident instead of standing with us to fight.
My opinion of Antifa...
Quite a few paid thugs mostly surrounded by a lot of young fools wanting to “get into the action”...They mostly act in democrat run cities and when they have a majority...Biggest part of them do it because there isn’t much retaliation from the conservatives (they can get away with their vandalism and violence)...
If they are ever met with an equal force intent on fighting back with lethal force, most of them will run home to “momma”....
I don’t disagree with your post. My initial impression of most, though not all, of the militants pictured, is that they have watched too many Patrick Swayze movies, no offense to Red Dawn fans, but probably are not well trained. But there must also be a percentage with military training, and even an idiot with a loaded gun can be dangerous. I just don’t get what drives this generation down this path of wanting anarchy/communism. It is somewhat concerning.
LOL These little , scrawny, baby faced turds probably have no idea how to shoot a real gun, and if they do then they have no idea when it malfunctions.
If they want a revolution then come out into the street, and lets fight
They say anti fascism holding signs saying love not hate, and no hate, and then attack peaceful people holding a freedom of speech rally
I am sure the wanna be warriors think they are bad ass but I wonder what they would when someone is shooting back that is sure enough bad ass. I think they would stain their panties
It’s easy to play “bad ass”, but it’s really hard to BE one if you have NO MAG POUCHES or EAR PRO.
They are Muslims. In one pic. they have their pointer finger in the air.
Very interesting.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
