Re: It's a shortening for "antifascist."
...So some of the righties that post here are making derogatory statements about people they call "antifa" does that mean that they support fascists ?
Antifa is similar to the KKK, a radical hate group I don't want in my country.
IMO anyone who supports Antifah is as misled and ignorant as KKK or Supremacist supporters.
The Antifah idea was started decades ago in Europe to combat fascism.
Antifah in America today are fascists in disguise although many of their base has no clue how dangerous they are.
Most of Antifa are misguided youth looking for attention.
They are using their violence toward extremist racist groups as an excuse to hide their true intent, removing free speech while replacing it with civil disobedience, chaos and anarchy.
Here's a video from a partisan Left wing site giving their take on Antifah.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dYzr599s9Y I've said many times violence breeds violence.
I couldn't care less if KKK and Antifah kill each other to the last idiot standing.
I do care about innocent people killed merely because they are bystanders or a person coming home from work, while some Governors and Mayors do nothing to stop Antifah violence before it gets out of hand.
Charlottesville Mayor and Gov of Va. come first to mind.
Would Heather Heyer be alive today if Antifa had not pushed their start violence button in Charlottesville?
http://insider.foxnews.com/2017/06/21/its-going-down-antifa-website-calls-violence-against-trump-supporters-capitalists Antifa will not win long term against the groups they target, they are only helping to add members to radical organizations like the KKK and Supremacists.
Noam Chomsky said it best " What they do is often wrong in principle- like blocking talks and [the movement} is generally self- destructive. When confrontation shifts to the arena of violence it is the most brutal and toughest who win- and we know who that is"
If you don't know, the most brutal and toughest is not Antifa
Defending Antifa will only harm peace and prosperity in America.
