How do you justify the use of violence? Doesn't this make you an analogue to the far-right, or do you believe the ends justify the means?
Question to Antifa

Because I have an ideology, and using violence to bring it about and fight against ideological enemies is appropriate.
We have different ideologies. Violence is just a fact of politics.
David Wright
Okay, but does this not foster a mentality of 'you're either with us or against us'? I'm in no way sympathetic to the ideas of the far-right, but not sharing completely in your ideology would therefore make me an enemy too, right?
Jaxson Barnes
Property distruction isn't violence first off.
And defending yourself again is not perpetuating violence.
Antifa does elscalate tensions which many normies read as violence but it's not.

I read this interview with Slavoj Zizek earlier, which gives a different spin on violence archive.is

Fascism was an ambiguous buzzword ever since the days of Mussolini, every state is fundamentally fascist, anarchist diy spaces are organized via fascist principles.
The only thing that matters is power and force. Nature is fundamentally fascist. And the irony is that antifa are the only ones who are seemingly comfortable with this outside of the state organs of ZOG Occupied Government.
Oliver Collins
While Spencer and nu-Holla Forums exist , as they are way more likely to kill , as antifa want control , not destruction. Hard to humiliate people and getting them to beg if they die.
So it's a good strategy, at the end.
David Perry
I'd love to see you try and qualify this statement with facts!
Jonathan Johnson
No argument there, I'm just not convinced that there aren't members of Antifa who want to fight as much as those on the far-right.
