What are you on about? Antifa is just short for anti-fascist. If you are anti-fascist you are antifa whether you like it or not. It is not deeper than that.

Antifa and anti fascist are not always the same thing. However for the most part I agree.

My point was that the original poster said by virtue of calling themselves anti fascist, that makes it so. That's not the case.

Just like Nazis calling themselves socialists isn't accurate nor the current American right calling themselves Christian.

Political groups use words for power and to direct thoughts. We should look at actions, but we should be wary of any argument that rests exclusively on what someone calls themselves. It's circular logic.
