Anti-fascist demonstrators gathered in protest at an alt-right rally in Portland, Ore., last year.

Seeking to assign blame for the protests that have convulsed cities across the country this week, President Trump said on Sunday that the United States would designate antifa, the loosely affiliated group of far-left anti-fascism activists, a terrorist organization.

The president’s critics noted, however, that the United States does not have a domestic terrorism law and that antifa, a contraction of the phrase “anti-fascist,” is not an organization with a leader, a defined structure or membership roles.

  1. Its so obvious, Keith Preston, that Bolshivism has zero compatibility with Anarchism historically, & we should have listened to Bakunin in the first place. I totally agree with you Left-anarchists should go Bakunin all the way, & denounce Bolshivism. Antifa seems to be a failure to defeat (((Donald Trump))) the Zionist Tyrant & his EVIL Fascistic Zionist New World Order Right-wing Tyranny.
