Antifa aren't freedom fighters. They are thugs, goons and attention whores, no better than neo-Nazis. In fact, they're worse than neo-Nazis, because as contemptible as the latter group are, at least they aren't hypocrites. Antifa types want to suppress freedom of speech in the name of freedom of speech.

Perhaps I should have said anti-fascist force, in general. Not what American Antifa is doing. I was referring to revolutionaries in countries where a population is so suppressed by fascist government that their only recourse is violence or submission.
That I have no problem with.
