I've always said that Antifa consisted of a bunch of disaggregated cells.
But that's wrong.
These aren't disaggregated cells. Because - cells of what? If there isn't a larger organization that they're cells of, then they're not cells. They're just lots of different, small organizations.
And some folks on this board went hard on the Joe Biden "it's an idea".
But it is an idea. Just like "Irish Republicanism" is an idea. The IRA is an organization, and Irish Republicanism is the idea that the organization is in service to.
Okay. It's clear you're not really reading what I'm typing. I think we're done.
I am reading what you're typing, but what you're typing is wrong. Or at least, it's incoherent. It sounds like you're suggesting that even though there is no larger organization, no actual group that is the macro Antifa group, that all these individual groups are somehow "cells" of something. But on the other hand, you seem to recognize that there is nothing for them to be "cells" of.
If there isn't a larger organization - the analog to the IRA or Al Qaeda or PLFP - then how can these be "cells" of something, rather than being disparate separate organizations that aren't cells of anything?
