Left Wing Extremist Group ANTIFA On The Rise

The group is known for causing damage to property during protests. In Berkeley, black-clad protesters wearing masks threw Molotov cocktails and smashed windows at the student union center where the Yiannopoulos event was to be held.

Crow said members use violence as a means of self-defense and they believe property destruction does not equate to violence. 

"There is a place for violence. Is that the world that we want to live in? No. Is it the world we want to inhabit? No. Is it the world we want to create? No. But will we push back? Yes," Crow said. 

Levin said Antifa activists feel the need to partake in violence because "they believe that elites are controlling the government and the media. So they need to make a statement head-on against the people who they regard as racist."

"There's this 'It's going down' mentality and this 'Hit them with your boots' mentality that goes back many decades to confrontations that took place, not only here in the American South, but also in places like Europe," he added.

White nationalists and other members of the so-called alt-right have denounced members of Antifa, sometimes calling them the "alt-left." Many white nationalists from the Charlottesville rallies claimed it was the Antifa groups that led the protests to turn violent. 

Peter Cvjetanovic, a University of Nevada, Reno, student who attended the Virginia protests over the weekend, said he believes the far left, including Antifa, are "just as dangerous, if not more dangerous than the right wing could ever be." 

"These are people who preach tolerance and love while at the same time threatening people with a different political ideology. We go to our rallies and they harass us and attack us but they held theirs and we ignore them. You don't see right-wing protests get like this," Cvjetanovic told CNN affiliate KRNV. 

But Crow said the philosophy of Antifa is based on the idea of direct action. "The idea in Antifa is that we go where they (right-wingers) go. That hate speech is not free speech. That if you are endangering people with what you say and the actions that are behind them, then you do not have the right to do that. 

"And so we go to cause conflict, to shut them down where they are, because we don't believe that Nazis or fascists of any stripe should have a mouthpiece."

This is America. We need to denounce hate on both sides, Left & Right. These two groups (White Nationalists and Violent Left Wing Groups), are ripping apart and tearing apart this nation. We need to unite and just not focus on one side, focus on denouncing hate on both sides. It is a sad day when our government officials and the people can't even unite against hate because each side focuses on one hate group, not uniting against all violent extremism 

I wanted to bring attention to this group because they have been doing violence for too long in the  USA and I notice no one talks about them

You are glad a group of people are causing violence, extremism, against freedom of speech, and beating up people who are against what they believe? They are extremists and are terrible.

Antifascists just fight again fascists. Even though violence shouldn't be the way to fight fascism, there's no other effective way to do it in the short-term. Thanks to antifascists you don't have to live with the fear of being attacked by a homophobic nazi at night. Instead of comparing them to Hitler sons, say thanks to them.

Do a quick google image or youtube search and see what they do.

We need to denounce extremism on both sides.

(Btw, I am not saying they are worse than white nationalism at all, I stand against all hate and extremism and just want peace for this country)

It's a shame violence is growing so much on the left and right, groups that try and get their point across by hurting people and damaging property shouldnt be respected tbh

No they don't. They fight against any person who they disagree with. They cause violence. Look at the pictures I posted and look at there violent protests on YouTube.

We need to say no to violence and protest peacefully.

How can you defend violence?

What has happened to our country when its own citizens are destroying what we built?

I just find it sad that as a nation we can not be united and denounce hate and violence in any form.

Very very sad and concerning. Hopefully we can overcome this
