Antifa was the official paramilitary arm of the KPD, the communist party of Weimar Germany. It is not "an idea" when it has a history as an official political organization that even today has social media accounts with local membership rolls. This excuse of Nances is so 2015.

Today, Antifa is just the banner that members of the loose sphere surrounding official organizations like the DSA, PSL, JBGC, SRA, and many more, use when they are conducting militant political action. It is very much more than just an "idea", it is a gang, a criminal org.

Every black bloc militant in the streets, if you were to arrest him and grill through his background, would have some form of affiliation or membership with one of these organizations or a local offshoot that is effectively the same.

One of the men Kyle Rittenhouse shot in Kenosha, Gaige Grosskreutz (now Paul Prediger) was a member of "People's Revolution Movement of Milwaukee" which is an example of how these local offshoots work.

Also for the record, Malcolm Nance is a fuckup who was washed out of the navy special warfare community and is persona non grata there. That's why he's been astroturfing a career as a fake "intelligence authority" on partisan political activity.

This "Armed Queers SLC" org is another example of a local offshoot cell. In no tangible way is an org like that distinct from, say, the Socialist Rifle Association or John Brown Gun Club of Utah. It's just a lower level of localization.

This big umbrella of organizations and sub-organizations is all downstream of financiers and grant programs for the "respectable" front organizations like Democratic Socialists of America, who exist more in the open with official chapters at places like college campuses.

They receive funding from orgs like the Tides, Ford, and Gates foundation in one way or another, as well as until recently, government grant programs for front organizations that pretended to be about pet causes like climate change or LGBT issues. That money launders downhill.

A lot of the financing and organization is handled by Arabella Advisors, whom many threads have been written about on here over the years. Though there are other orgs that perform this function as well.

So a guy like Soros funds the race for mayor or district attorney in a blue city, puts in a radical, and handcuffs the police so they aren't allowed to tamp down on radical leftist violence and charges are constantly dropped and their people released when arrested.

This creates a sort of "permissive environment" for things like the BLM protests, which are covered heavily in the media and used to normalize and manufacture consensus for far left violence, which is then used to radicalize people like Charlie Kirks murderer.

Any federal response, such as what we saw in Portland during the George Floyd era, is meant to become a "decision dilemma" where the choice of the govt is to do nothing and look impotent, or do something and be painted as authoritarian.

This is why this kind of leftist violence can only endure for long in permissive environments, in blue states or at least blue cities. And they'll gaslight idiotic normies into joining protests to virtue signal so they can hide in the crowd and act like normies, not militants.

This is another point, just search around and you'll find actual social media hubs for antifa that definitively exist but are not business entities.

They don't need to be business entities, that's what front organizations are for. It's similar to a criminal organization running a gambling operation in the back room of a laundromat, or a mob boss having an office in a functioning warehouse.

None of this is new to anyone who was paying attention during BLM 1.0 or 2.0, obviously, but I'm sure there are lots of members of the general public and some of our younger zoomers who weren't around for that.

Moreover, there is zero doubt in my mind that the FBI has an *extensive* library of information and case files covering the use of Antifa members as informants and resources in disrupting "right wing extremism" over the years.

As for the terror organization designation the President talked about, I think it's reasonable. Lets consider a few things. While a domestic organization cannot technically be designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization, lets consider that Antifa is global/multinational and:

-Foreign origin (Germany)
-Plentiful foreign financing from foreign individuals/orgs/govts
-High representation of foreign students in American far left organizations
-Antifa organizations in most western nations, many are more organized and violent than American ones

At the domestic level, we can declare them a gang and pursue them under RICO charges while simultaneously considering them globally as an FTO, similar to our designation of many cartel affiliated groups with both a foreign and American presence.

@andygno is the guy to follow if you want to dive into deeper detail on the subject. He has tangled with them IRL on countless occasions and knows them better than anyone else I can think of. Probably the subject matter expert on American Antifa.
