After watching and listening to the plethora of voices condemning the President and praising the group of counter protesters referred to as Antifa my inquisitive mind led me to try to find out just who and what Antifa represents and their philosophy. The results of my search of websites listed under Antifa and other related websites presented some interesting observations. Antifa protests are composed of various groups with similar but differing ideologies with an underlying theme that is anti-capitalist and anti-government. One such group, itsgoingdown.org promotes violence as a means to achieve it's goals. My impression is that their goals are the destruction of America as we have known it and a transition to some form of socialism through anarchy. What is most disturbing is the Republicans conferring moral authority on these people. We have seen their activity in Berkeley, Ferguson, and Baltimore. It now has a foothold in the new war on the Confederacy with the destruction of all historical monuments relating to the history of our country.
I definitely do not in any way condone nor agree with any of those involved in the White Supremacy movement. They are a blight on our community and deserve our condemnation.
I do not in any way agree with the Antifa movement either.
