Constructive voices coming from Antifa?

Antifa is a left-wing, anti-fascist political movement in the United States comprising a diverse array of autonomous groups that aim to achieve their objectives through the use of both nonviolent and violent direct action rather than through policy reform. Described as a highly decentralized movement, antifa political activists are anti-racists who engage in protest tactics, seeking to combat fascists and racists such as neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other far-right extremists. This may sometimes involve digital activism, harassment, militancy, physical violence and property damage against those whom they identify as belonging to the far-right. Antifa involvement in violent actions against far-right opponents and the police has led some scholars to characterize the movement as far-left and militant.

It’s not the first time Biden’s website has been the target of internet hoaxes. In 2019, Republican consulting firm Vici Media Group created joebiden.info, a mock website for the presidential hopeful that featured pictures, videos, and animated GIFs of Biden appearing to kiss and touch young women and girls. The marketing group also created fake websites for other Democratic candidates, including Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Kamala Harris.

Since our initial publication of this story, the Antifa.com redirect continued to change, pointing users once again to the official Biden campaign website at some point in late August 2020, according to readers. On Aug. 25, the URL redirected users to a site called It’s Going Down (itsgoingdown.org), a website that described itself as a “community center for anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements.” There was no apparent link between either of the websites and the Biden campaign.

I think the group, or association of groups, is too decentralized to really expect a definitive answer to your question. It's likely that there is a range of positions regarding violence and you won't find anything spelled out in an "Antifa Manifesto" as that would imply an organizational structure which runs counter to the beliefs of most anarchists.

I don't know how many activists the loose organization can count on to show up at its demonstrations but they would need more than a few thousand total to spread themselves around the country — a few dozen of them could show up at a hot spot and cause a disturbance and Fox would report that there were hundreds of them arriving on buses.

There are people on the left calling themselves "Antifa".

That's a rather vague statement...

...are you saying that violence is justified or not?

You also post the same rhetoric as people like the OP (and trump himself for that matter) in talking about "ANTIFA" as being a single group, and therefore don't seem to understand that "ANTIFA" is NOT a single group. It's a NUMBER OF GROUPS with similar views, so you throwing a number of groups (and people) all into the same basket, just like trump does, and then acting like you're the hero/the "good guy", and anyone who disagrees is wrong and are therefore the "enemy", destroys the idea you are somehow a "centrist", and therefore your entire defense. That's division, and that's exactly what's tearing your country apart, but you are too blind to see it.

Is there anyone who calls themselves "Antifa" who condemns violence being used as part of political protest?

Someone on another thread challenged me for putting all of Antifa in one bucket. I have to accept that this is true... I have always assumed the word "Antifa" implied a willingness to resort to violence, or atleast to forced censorship.

The people rioting are opportunist criminals, that’s all they are.

Then why are you implying they’re left wing activists and using Trump’s own vernacular to describe them as such?

Nobody is defending looting on A2K.
