Antifa, short for “anti-fascist,” is not a single organization but a loose network of activists opposing fascism, white supremacy, and far-right movements.
Its roots trace back to militant anti-fascist groups in Europe during the 1930s that resisted authoritarian regimes.

Unlike traditional political groups, Antifa has no official founder, membership, or leadership structure.
It operates in small local collectives, often organizing counter-protests, direct action, and online campaigns aimed at monitoring or disrupting extremist activity.

Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are often mentioned in conservative circles as political figures sympathetic to Antifa, given their critiques of far-right groups.
George Soros is perhaps the most cited figure in claims of Antifa financing.
Critics point to his Open Society Foundations’ global liberal funding as indirect support.
Investigations will find his direct Antifa financing, Soros calls it conspiracy theory

Antifa’s most visible actions include confronting far-right rallies, organizing protests, and exposing extremist networks online.
Critics argue its methods sometimes involving vandalism or violent clashes undermine democratic norms, while supporters frame it as self-defense.

Trump’s designation of Antifa as a terrorist entity was intended to portray it as a threat to national stability.
Legal experts questioned the move, noting the difficulty of banning a decentralized movement with no hierarchy, charter, or defined membership base.

The future of Antifa remains uncertain.
Its strength lies in its lack of structure and support from Deep state, making it hard to dismantle.
Its survival will depend largely on how political polarization evolves in the United States.
