Resumen del Editor

“…Antifa is fundamentally committed to the abolition of the U.S. government and the violent overthrow of the United States Constitution. It is committed to the use of both subversion and violent extremism to enforce its political views by terrorizing American citizens.”—Kyle Shideler, “Testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee-Subcommittee on the Constitution”

“I never hurt a person, but I violated the rights and peace of many. Ultimately, the best way to atone for my mistakes is to use my knowledge of the movement to help put a stop to Antifa’s violent ideology…”—Gabriel Nadales,

“Not an Organization, but a Movement”“…it cannot be stated often enough: Antifa’s goal is not violence for violence’s sake. The purpose of Antifa’s brand of low-intensity violence is to silence opposition, to put the cost of political participation out of the reach of everyday Americans.”—Erin Smith, “The Tactics of Antifa”

“If every example of a district attorney deciding not to prosecute an Antifa member for political reasons is seen as effectively a contribution of sorts to the cause, then Antifa is well-supported at public expense. Every time police… are ordered to stand down during Antifa actions, that too can be viewed as a contribution to Antifa.”—Matthew Vadum, “The Murky Money Trail”

“Antifa has made common cause with individuals and organizations involved with, and under the control of, dictatorial foreign regimes… some of whose leaders have been trained or otherwise backed by hostile foreign intelligence services, and in parallel with international terrorist organizations and armed insurgencies.”—J. Michael Waller, “Antifa: An International Insurgent Network”
