Re: Those sub human antifa thugs

No, that dude isn't looking for trouble.

As far as the OP goes, he needs a history lesson. Antifa has not even begun to show how bad it can be. Nobody here who remains devoutly loyal to the GOP appears to have any notion of history, but history shows us just how bad leftist revolutions can be. The names "Red Brigades" and "Baader-Meinhof/ Red Army Faction" from the '70's and '80's still make wealthy Europeans wince.

The problem with Antifa - and any "direct-action" group - is that their ideals tend to get subverted by psychopaths, who view such happenings as the chance to do random violence against other people. It's like a honeypot for the disaffected. So a lot of times what you see is the organizers of protests or sit-ins or whatever have one idea, start recruiting bodies to execute it...and then along come the psychos, who aren't remotely interested in peaceful symbolism. And that's when the thrown rocks, Molotov cocktails, and riot cops start happening. And stuff spirals right on out of control.

For every action, as they say, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The more strident the GOP becomes, the more groups like Antifa are going to misbehave. And the problem with trying to suppress leftist insurgencies, as myriad police departments and governments have discovered, is that there's a whole lot more poor people than rich ones...and all the rich ones have poor people working for them.

Class warfare hurts everybody, but it's especially dangerous for the rich.

There is no distinction for cause.

"Those who forget the lessons of history"....

Not really. Different social pressures create different reactions. Left-wing activists are different than right-wing activists; they react for different reasons.

In the Cold War, the extremist pressure was largely coming from the left; Communism was the big bugaboo of the era.

Nowadays the extremist pressure's coming from the Far Right.

Not coincidentally, the root source - ground zero for the infection, as it was - is seemingly the same for both - Russia.

They've shifted ideologies (somewhat) and tactics, but the social order of the West - and of democracy in general - is under fairly pervasive attack.
