Is Antifa a blanket term or is it actual organization?

I hear Antifa thrown around alot. I know it's supposed to be "anti-fascist" but it mostly seems to be a start up group to oppose Trump. I said the same thing about the TEA party with Obama. They came and went really fast. A group that tried to sound like they were looking out for the greater good when really it was just blanket dislike of the president.
But with Antifa its called a terrorist group. Yet they don't seem to have a structure like most other groups.
Are most Ice protestors really in Antifa or is it just a catch all term used to paint a broad brush stroke?

It was around well before Trump and is international. It is a Marxist organization that uses street thugs to gain political momentum. They are used similar to how Hitler used the Blackshirts.

Libs will have you debating on such terms while they burn down LA and kill Charlie.

There’s definitely an organization. They all have the same gas mask, signs are made at a printshop. It’s organized enough to have financial support from one or more entities. It’s definitely not “grassroots “.

Follow the money.

The TEA party was a political party, not a terrorist organization. They wanted less taxes, less big government. Obama hated that.

Antifa has more groups than the KKK ever did or dreamed of having.

It seems like they have a puppet master. Someone pulling strings.
Is there an opposite version of the Q thread?
I guess in the dregs of reddit they exist.

There is no Antifa, Inc. if that’s what you mean. There is also no ISIS or MS13 Inc

But their general activities are organized under various affiliates.

Saying there is no Antifa would be like someone in Chicago in 1925 saying there is no Mafia.

The media is using very slippery language and obfuscation to confuse people about “Antifa not being a thing”.

It’s all a typical, yet predictable slight of hand ploy the media and Democrats are using to make low info normies not think much about it, and also for their goose stepping sycophants to bleat out their curated marching orders on demand.

Theyre an org.
There are cells.
The cells normally dont have the name antifa (except rose city antifa).

There is no hierarchy.
They need to be removed from society.
Their influence in the govt and universities is monstrous.

It's origins date back to the early 20th century Europe. They're communists. Straight up.

How does one on a political board not know such basics?

Even in anarchy they have leadership. The ability to call these people together, prep them with body armor and uniform type spearheads at every turn suggests a level of organizational leadership. While the individuals may be lowest scum they traverse well

I am familar with the antifasict group from Germany. Founded around the 1930s. But is this really that group?
I didn't hear anyone use Antifa as a name until after the first trump election.
And SEK your one of the biggest morons in this forum dont try and play smart. This was an OT discussion that got moved to this board.

Yes the 1930s Antifa were communists. Are the new antifa the same group or is it a term used to mark dissenters? I ask because we know that some are saying its a terrorist group others are saying it doesnt exist. As with all things the truth is rarely black and white.

It’s more like a network. When they say it is decentralized, that means there are local chapters, all of whom solicit donations and volunteers.

The “anti-fascism” is the idea, but there is very little adherence to the concept since they all embrace fascist strategies to oppose whatever they say is the bad thing or bad people that they label as fascist.
