In the wake of tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Donald Trump's initial refusal to denounce the white nationalists behind it all, the "antifa" opposition movement is suddenly appearing everywhere. But what is it, precisely? And where did it come from?

As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism - also known as "antifa." Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler in Europe during the 1920s and '30s, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amid opposition to the Trump administration and the alt-right. They could be seen in news reports, often clad all in black with balaclavas covering their faces, demonstrating at the presidential inauguration, and on California college campuses protesting far-right speakers, and most recently, on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, protecting, among others, a group of ministers including Cornel West from neo-Nazi violence. (West would later tell reporters, "The anti-fascists saved our lives.")

Simply, antifa aims to deny fascists the opportunity to promote their oppressive politics, and to protect tolerant communities from acts of violence promulgated by fascists. Critics say shutting down political adversaries is anti-democratic; antifa adherents argue that the horrors of fascism must never be allowed the slightest chance to triumph again.

In a smart and gripping investigation, historian and former Occupy Wall Street organizer Mark Bray provides a detailed survey of the full history of anti-fascism from its origins to the present day - the first transnational history of postwar anti-fascism in English. Based on interviews with anti-fascists from around the world, Antifa details the tactics of the movement and the philosophy behind it, offering insight into the growing but little-understood resistance fighting back against fascism in all its guises.

I liked the review of Antifa’s preWW2 history and the development of the thesis that fascist ideology limits democratic values thereby limiting free speech thus necessitating the aggressive response thereto. Democracy that begets fascism is not democracy but protofascism under the guise of popular sovereignty.

Polemic literature is essentially biased and this is no exception-the attack on white identity unaccompanied by any exploration of positive aspects of European or American culture, of which there are many, as they pertain to the very ideals of free speech, rule of law...etc; or detailed exploration of fascistic ideology in the Islamic, East Asian, African, Latin American or minority groups within the US gives the idea that there is little antifascist activity in those areas or among those groups. The lack of this exploration creates the image that causes some of the issues that Antifa would like to eliminate-defensive ethnic nationalism being chief among them.

The orator was great, he needs to work on his European accents though. They all sound Russian.

Excellent

Very informative read whose truth is evident by the right wing babies pretending to be intellectuals (that’s smart people to all you right wingers) trashing it

The background of Antifa is fascinating, as is the story of how it is playing out today. However, the narrator’s compulsion of mimicking every accent of the Germans, Brits, Danes, and different regions of the US was so annoying and cringey, I almost left the book several times. I recommend reading this rather than listening to it.

Good content, awful accents

Great overview of anti-fascist groups and history before and after the WWII to the present. The author also makes several arguments in favour of anti-fascist organising today and responds to common critique.

Great introductory book

I highly recommend this book for those interested in organizing history or in building their own activist network. Bray spends a lot of time covering many different conditions in various Western countries over a long period of time and the successes and failures of various antifascist organizers. While I enjoyed the content, the various accents the performer uses to differentiate between different quotes and persons felt unnecessary and quite forced, but not enough to detract.

Excellent, concise historical account

I am happy we have antifasists in the world to be zealously watching out for fascists. There is a long storied history here since 1920s and the best strategies to combat fascists, racists, White supremacists from rising to power and giving in to darkest impulses. What worked what didn't work for antifacists through history is discussdd. How to be disruptive when necessary (many times not violent!) Book warns against excessive violence as most anti-fascists understand and keeping the eye on the prize. However it points out naively non violently protesting Nazi tanks was not gonna do the trick either when necessary.

Informative. Interesting. Handbook for antifascist

This is a great primer on the origin and history of Antifa, seeking to address and correct the myths and misconceptions surrounding the organization.
