Yes, antifa is the moral equivalent of neo-Nazis
The Washington Post ^ | August 30, 2017 | Marc A. Thiessen

Posted on 08/30/2017 5:01:55 PM PDT by Trump20162020

Last weekend in Berkeley, Calif., a group of neo-communist antifa — “anti-fascist” — thugs attacked peaceful protesters at a “No to Marxism in America” rally, wielding sticks and pepper spray, and beating people with homemade shields that read (I kid you not) “No Hate.” The Post reports how one peaceful protester “was attacked by five black-clad antifa members, each windmilling kicks and punches into a man desperately trying to protect himself.” Members of the Berkeley College Republicans were then stalked by antifa goons who followed them to a gas station and demanded they “get the [expletive] out” of their car, warning, “We are real hungry for supremacists and there is more of us.”

The organizer of the anti-Marxism protest is not a white supremacist. Amber Cummings is a self-described “transsexual female who embraces diversity” and had announced on Facebook that “any racist groups like the KKK [and] Neo Nazis . . . are not welcome.” The protest was needed, Cummings said, because “Berkeley is a ground zero for the Marxist Movement.”

And of course Trump was ahead of the curve on this one.

Indeed, and the AT&T deal hasn’t yet completed.

Educated consumers can also make a difference. But the systematic ignorance will solve nothing.

Ever notice that no radio jock ever speaks to this?

Are they going to apologize to Trump? (WAPO)
Scum.

Their methods and aims are identical. In practice there is no difference between a communist dictatorship and a Nazi dictatorship. In both cases the “state” is everything.

Real Nazis shoved people into ovens. Neo-Nazis stand in the park and scratch their junk.

Antifa is terrorism, pure and simple.

Neo-NAZI are simply fools. (Leftist fools at that)

The meme has gone out from the top that the Antifa movement has gotten out of control, is angering Americans who have been neutral up to this point, and is splintering the party. The people at the top are panicking.


Hilarious to see the presstitutes flip their opinions in one day. I’ve no doubt Morning Joe will be ripping antifa tomorrow morning.

The radical left, when emboldened, always goes violent and murderous. In the “red scare” of the twenties they bombed buildings; in the sixties they started bombing police stations and military locations. Now they are showing up with masks and clubs to deliver beatdowns of people they don’t like. It’s predictable and it’s the fault of the press and the politicians who have praised them to score point against Trump (I’m looking at you McCain and Ryan and other GOP tools of the left). They act, there are no consequences, they escalate. They want revolution and they will push as far as they can. It’s only a matter of time before they claim a life or lives. Bet on it.

Antifa are Bolsheviks, i.e., commies.

Yes, antifa is the moral equivalent of neo-Nazis...Last weekend in Berkeley, Calif., a group of neo-communist antifa...well, if we try to be as objective as possible about it, technically antifa is morally more reprehensible than neo-Nazis - murder is arguably the absolute most heinous action any ideology can condone - Nazis and their descendants have killed maybe twenty million people over the years - communists and their fellow travelers have liquidated at least sixty million -QED antifa is more morally objectionable than the neo-Nazis - Trump was justified in insisting that antifa be blamed for the violence at Charlottesville as much as the supposed right wing groups....
