Antifa book endorsed by Keith Ellison promotes VIOLENCE against political opponents
Both the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security consider Antifa a domestic terrorist organization, which is why it came as a shock to many when the high-ranking Democrat official appeared to boost the extremist organization.
Following President Trump’s election, Antifa has committed countless acts of violent extremism. Nationwide Antifa rallies have fomented brutal attacks against innocents and the destruction of large swaths of public and private property.
“In truth, violence represents a small though vital sliver of anti-fascist activity,” Bray writes in Chapter 6, which is titled, “Strategy, (Non)Violence, and Everyday Anti-Fascism.”
Explaining the need for unprovoked “occasional violence,” he adds:
“Fascist violence often necessitates self-defense—although anti-fascists challenge conventional interpretations of self-defense grounded in individualistic personal ethics by legitimating offensive tactics in order to forestall the potential need for literal self-defense down the line.”
The book also rejects the concept of the First Amendment, arguing, with facist-like ideals, that people and groups who are deemed unsavory do not deserve free speech.
