Armed Antifa group declares “Everywhere a battlefield” (CWII)
Far Left Watch ^ | August 29, 2017 | Far Left Staff

Posted on 08/30/2017 9:50:59 PM PDT by Perseverando

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.

The mission of Far Left Watch is to investigate, expose, and combat far left extremism. Please share this article via Twitter, Facebook, etc. and encourage friendly media and YouTube content creators to report on this information.

I’m sure this has been asked but how do we know ANTIFA isn’t ISIS?

These commie/anarchist groups have been around for many years. Religious faith, of any kind, hasn't a thing to do with what motivates them. They're solid atheists. Communists.

This group's interesting not so much for the fact that they exist, but that they're so public about their thoughts.

About the CWII Ping List

The CWII Ping List is short for Civil War II. It is NOT a list of people advocating another Civil War in America. It is a list of people who are interested in the parallels between the Civil War (or War Between the States, if you prefer) and our current situation, or more generally are noting the references to a 'coming Civil War' that are made in the press.

Of course sometimes this is merely a figure of speech, such as "The Tea Parties are fighting a civil war for the heart of the GOP". This would not merit a CWII ping.

On the other hand someone saying something like "The events in California are reminiscent of what happened in Yugoslavia in the period proceeding the Civil War" would merit a ping.

FR rules do not permit advocating for the overthrow of the Republic, and I am not aware of anyone doing so on the list. Still many do see that as the political climate worsens we may be heading in a direction that makes such a conflict all but inevitable, particularly if other avenues for resolving our differences are taken away. Such as widespread vote fraud by leftists making elections meaningless, or a small cadre of judges over-ruling all attempts to end destructive policies over the clear will of the people.

The correct keyword tag for the Civil War II ping list is "CWII". Please Freep Mail me to get on the list

Do real Americans have Rules of Engagement against ANTIFA yet? Rules of Engagement should come from the Justice Department.

"The FBI should have these thugs charged with inciting a riot or trying to overthrow the government:"

These Antifa rectums and those financing Antifa and sending out their pr bs, are guilty of acts of sedition!

Looks like a mob of diphsits, posing real macho-like and hoping it gets them to first base with some of the small number of young women wearing red scarves...

Too stupid to realize the numbers are against them, and the girls are being paid by either Soros or the CIA anyway.

Yes, direct from their website. Here it is again below. Why do think it's photoshopped, because of the near perfect square/right-angle corner? Looks to me like the flag has a seemed border. This would make it more rigid and straight along the edge.

P.S. It would be so easy to find out who these people are. Follow them after a rally. Some will come in cars. Cars have license plates, etc.

Arrive at a rally early, dressed as a “civilian.” Stay a discrete distance away. Watch which direction they come from. Leave rally early, pick them up again a distance from rally, cars, license plates, etc.

If they charter a vehicle, bus, etc, a quick $20 will get you everything you want to know, up to and including their shoe size from some dispatcher.

I would never advocate violence, but with this information, bosses get called, landlords called, tires get slashed, replacement tires get slashed, posters are erected in neighborhood telling everyone to avoid them because they are really a narc, they get reported as child abusers, etc.

Once knew a guy who collected 100 pounds of fresh bluefish “to give to” a former husband who kept harassing his former wife. Threw it under the house, in 20 separate loads. After 5 days of a Virginia August, you needed a gas mack to get within 10 feet of the place

Think about it. You have a few thousand untrained punks vs 5,000,000 well-trained redneck military veterans!

Does anyone think that group leans left?

Unfortunately I know many a hunter who is a Democrat (but I think many of them are getting fed up with the Commie-style crap). I know at least two hunters who voted first for Bernie, and then for Hillary.

They would, however, kick the snot out of any snowflakes they came across.

Anyone caught at a political event with a uniform and a mask should be subject to severe penalties. Even if they aren’t violent at the time of apprehension.

“Possession of Terrorist tools” perhaps, in a way analogous to the “he had burglary tools in his trunk”, or “possession of drug paraphernalia.”

Methinks there will be great wailing and gnashing of teeth for these Octoberists and others around the country very soon.
