ANTIFA IS AN ANARCHIST-FASCIST THREAT TO FREEDOM

ANTIFA IS AN ANARCHIST-FASCIST THREAT TO FREEDOM

By Domenick J, Maglio Ph.D. Traditional Realist

In 2017 the Alt Right at Charlottesville, Virginia was led by two disgruntled progressives who wanted the political spotlight. Jason Kissler and Richard Spencer, were co organizers of “Unite the Right.”  Both of their backgrounds demonstrate they certainly have never been believers in conservatism.

Jason Kissler voted for president Obama in 2008. He participated in the Occupy Wall Street encampment in Charlottesville in 2011. He was kicked out of this organization. His job record is spotty from his problems getting along with others and displaying social anxiety. His father condemned him as a loser on YouTube. This is not a profile of a mentally stable person or White supremacists.

Richard Spencer of the University of Florida speech notoriety is also a publicity hound. His belief system is diametrically opposed to conservatism. He has clearly stated that all men are not created equal. Also he notes that our rights come from a central government and are not endowed by God. He embraced national healthcare as part of the welfare state and does not accept capitalism. He has clearly stated he is a progressive and does not believe in the American way. His ideals conform with the socialistic ones.

In Charlottesville, 2017, there was a 20 to 1 ratio of Antifa and Black Lives Matter members to the Alt Right. In the 2018 Washington, D.C. rally there were thousands of counter protestors to 20 or 40 “Unite the Right” members. The progressive media has hyped the AltRight while the AltLeft ‘s immense violent presence has been practically unreported.

The current organized social unrest is a means of gaining leverage for social change. The U.S. anarchists want to ram down the throats of the people a collective state power that will impose their “justice” upon the people. Antifa social action misfits have adopted “The Black Bloc” tactics of the European anarchists. They use bats, smoke bombs, bike locks, fists and other weapons to shut down any free speech. These Antifa punks resemble the brown and black shirt fascists of Hitler and Mussolini with their ninja dress and riot tactics.

The YouTube videos show Antifa members happily destroying property in Berkeley, California, cold cocking victims with fists and weapons in Charlottesville, Virginia and Washington D.C. Interestingly, these assaults are sneak attacks and the Antifa members quickly and cowardly run back to the protection of their group. There is a festive atmosphere when they openly and cheerfully chant, “bust a window,” “kill a F- cop,” and “meet me in the streets”. They smile diabolically when they say they want to kill President Trump. Acts of violence especially when there is no criminal prosecution leads to “parties of destruction.”

Antifa has demonstrated by their words and actions they embrace violence as a “means to an end.” This should frighten every citizen including progressives as our stability and greatness is derived from following the law of blind justice established by a majority of the people to create order. When violent fringe groups are allowed by law enforcers to confront each other like in 2017 Charlottesville, a riot will occur. The law-abiding citizens become bewildered, apprehensive and fearful to express their indignation for allowing lawless behavior to continue.

The progressive media is silent about Antifa’s Gestapo tactics and should report the entire story. They focused on a miniscule group of white supremacists that are similar in anti social behavior and not the far larger groups of young, violent know-it-alls. The reason is Antifa’s agenda agrees with many progressive values, which the media is attempting to persuade the “deplorables” to adopt. The alliance between both Antifa and the media promote political correctness and suppress free speech. This certainly is anti American.

The progressives should understand what makes our country great is our constitutional law, which produces stability. Once our first Amendment is stifled, the rest of the amendments will crumble. Our constitutional republic will vanish and we will become a part of a centrally controlled global totalitarian world. Free speech is the cornerstone of our liberty and has to be protected and not be shut down. Debating ideas is a positive way to arrive at the best decision. Antifa’s militant insistence on preventing open dialogue is a direct infringement on our freedom. The physical violence and property destruction should be prosecuted equally and forcefully under the law. This will allow civil discourse to return.

Enough is enough. Every citizen should insist on regaining law and order. Differences of ideas should be settled in the voting booth not by intimidation.
