In the wake of tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Donald Trump’s initial refusal to denounce the white nationalists behind everything, the “antifa” opposition movement is suddenly appearing everywhere. But the facts, exactly? And where achieved it come from?As long as there has been fascism, there’s been anti-fascism-also known as “antifa.” Blessed out of level of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler in European countries during the 1920s and ’30s, the antifa movement has all of a sudden burst in to the headlines amid about Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook opposition to the Trump administration as well as the alt-right.

(Western would later show reporters, “The anti-fascists saved our lives.”)Basically, antifa seeks to deny fascists the chance to promote their oppressive politics, also to guard tolerant neighborhoods from acts of violence promulgated by fascists.
