I no more support Antifa than the militant Right. If anything, I see Antifa as the enemy that will drive people away from Left wing politics.

The problem is authoritarianism. It doesn’t matter if you are Left or Right because any authoritarianism is a problem. Most of us who sit to the Left are social libertarians, not authoritarians. Most people who sit to the Right are moderate libertarians, not authoritarians.

Antifa are a fringe that are wrong in principle, just like the militant Right are wrong in principle. Neither deserves our protection or defense. For me at least, Antifa are an enemy of the Left and are a major gift to the militant Right who are much bigger and have a more overall brutal ideology.
