Most of the countries which helped defeat fascism in WW2 had a checkered history before and after the fact. The Americans of course pulled Operation Gladio and sponsored fascist dictatorships all over Latin America during the Cold War while IBM gave the Nazis the accounting tools they needed for the Holocaust. Liberal capitalism the world over starved the people with austerity leading to the material conditions for the rise of fascism. The Stalinist USSR in turn pushed the Third Period policies which had a massive part in keeping the Stalinist parties from fighting fascism effectively, which played an important role in Nazism's victory in Germany, cut up Poland with the Nazis, and funded the SRP and Francis Yockey.
In Spain of course, American oil fueled the fascists while the NKVD commissars shot the anarchists and POUMistas in the back.
I get itโClint Eastwood gave the game away years ago when he ranted at an "empty" chair on national television. Only, it clearly wasn't empty to right-wing eyes. I get that. There's a whole other world of criminals, terrorists, invaders, and fascists that normal people can't see.
Now, while I try to have an open mind, there's just no evidence that normal people can see, touch, or measure that these things exist. And right-wingers can't provide any, other than to get wild-eyed and demand that it's obvious.
So, if you're seeing an actual organization called Antifa, much less one that employs fascist tactics, well, it's totally undetectable to the rest of the world. I also try not to diagnose mental disorders without full information, and without formal qualification, but, well, please see your doctor.

Antifa has nothing to do with this - it's a fascist group itself, just watch it's tactics.
Embarrassing
Also sadly embarrassing that
103104 people are blind to the fascism in "antifa".What a joke, and achieving the opposite of what they claim.
