The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I still don't think you understand the point that's being made. Antifa is an idea, like "anarchism" is an idea.

A quick look shows me antifa is a "political movement". Like Nazi. Or communist. Saying antifa beat someone up or tried to burn down a police station is like saying communists beat someone up or Nazis.

Al, why do you get wrapped around such a stupid axle? When you have a group of people committing crimes, they HIDE their organization, and have no official stuff or official meetings. Its like the communist party members back in the day who were instructed that if they were ever asked by the police if they were members of the communist party that they were officially expelled from the party before they answered so they could answer no. That is why the question changed to "are you now OR HAVE YOU EVER BEEN a member of the communist party?"

These people wear the same black bloc rioting gear, mask their faces, carry black umbrellas together to hide their stuff from helicopters, hang out together, beat up people together, try to burn down police stations and courthouses together. Who cares whether they incorporated in Delaware or Texas? Who cares if you can buy their handbook at the local uniform supply store? They are antifa, they agree with each other, they believe in illegal violence and property destruction, and they hang out together while doing it. Change their name to "the knitting circle" and it doesn't matter, if the rest of the description is the same.

Booyah,
