It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦‍♂️

Stay safe out there!

Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!

    I can admit they were historically progressive in the same way that capitalism was historical progress from feudalism, but I’m not going to venerate them and act like they wouldn’t approve of the modern far right.

    If they were alive today they’d be extremely right wing.

      Probably, yeah, most of them. That’s just how environmental determination works. You can not escape materialism, in all its implications.

      But there were, for example, abolitionists among them, it’s how we can say that Jefferson and Washington were still slaving pieces of shit as it’s clear they were aware of the moral implications and simply chose the path of greatest comfort for themselves.
