What is Antifa’s Radical Ideology?
Anyone who has seen the news knows what Antifa is up to. Antifa members smash bike locks into the skulls of conservatives, spray peaceful prayer groups and counter protesters with bear pepper spray, and in the most recent crime of Antifa, physically attacked a journalist. Antifa is a group of violent thugs. Not a group of peaceful protesters. So, Antifa’s actions are well known. Especially after the heinous attack on Mr. Ngo; now everyone knows about the latest crime of Antifa. But, what people don’t know about is the radical ideology of Antifa.
What is that ideology? Well, it’s actually pretty well summed up by the meme. Antifa members think that anyone not at extremely far to the left as they are is a right wing “Nazi.”
Because of that complete demonization of anyone even slightly more conservative than they, part of their ideology is that violence is acceptable. Their slogan is “punch a Nazi.” And if they really think that everyone who disagrees with them is a Nazi, then their violent outbursts make a bit more sense.
Now to those of us who are real Americans and believe in values like free speech, the violence of Antifa still doesn’t make much sense. They should respectfully and peacefully listen to all viewpoints. But, when viewed through their apocalyptic, delusional lens, it makes sense. They think they are fighting for the very survival of progressivism.
So, because they are delusional and paranoid about the rise of right wing extremists, they are willing to lash out and attack anyone and everyone. And as I wrote about in my “far right extremism meme” post, basically anyone who hold normal views is considered a far right extremist. So Antifa has many targets to attack.
The radical ideology of Antifa is that everyone is a) a right wing extremist looking to completely extinguish liberalism/progressivism and b) deserves to be violently punished for that view. When you look at like that, they don’t really look all that different from the Nazi brown shirts, who also thought they needed to violently respond to a vast conspiracy.
In both cases, the groups looked at are composed of violent fanatics (although in the case of Rose City Antifa, those violent fanatics are pretty weak looking). Antifa isn’t really an anti-fascist organization. When the radical ideology of Antifa is looked at in full, it becomes apparent that Antifa is a fascist organization.

Well said, they are exactly what they claim to be against.
I look forward to reading more on your site.
This helped me understand the Antifa mess a little better. The one thing that still puzzles me is the purpose of their actions. Their attacks are pointless. They are not trying to sway people into believing in their cause. They are not eliminating the enemy. They are merely harassing. Is that their goal, just to harass? Are they so liberal/far Left/anti-Right that they don’t consider response to their actions? That someone will not respond in-kind or with a little extra added? That there are no consequences for their action, and maybe from the victim?
