I’ve argued in the past that we shouldn’t be calling Antifa by that name because it gives them an out — a nice sounding cover name — for what they really are, which is radical leftists. Terminologies matter. It’s part of the reason we still have ignorant liberals saying, “Antifa? That means they’re anti-fascist.” Well, no, that’s like saying the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is democratic. Antifa demonstrates frequently how “fascist” they are in their attitudes and actions.
One example? You would expect Antifa members to vote in favour of government mandated vaccines being given. Aren’t many of them supposed to be anarchists or against the power of the government?
But they were there yesterday in Boston fighting people against the vaccination mandate. They came out against a group called “Super Happy Fun America,” which describes itself as a “right of center civil rights organization” defending the constitution, “opposing gender madness and defeating cultural Marxism.” So now you see why Antifa came out — because of the anti-Marxist nature of the group. If you’re a Communist or a radical leftist, you may not actually be a big fan of individual rights.
“Green Monster Antifa” put out a flyer advertising the counter-rally and if you check it out, you can see how incredibly ironic it is.

The radical leftists were holding signs that said, “Death to Fascism” and had the communist hammer and sickle symbol.

Police in riot gear were called out to the scene after clashes among both groups.

You can see how police are trying to seize an Antifa suspect.

A van belonging to the Super Happy Group was also protected by radical leftists.

Police detained two individuals during the clashes. Some of the local media failed to report Antifa being involved in the counter-rally group or report on the Communist symbols being sported, just reporting them as “counter-protesters.”
It’s hilarious that Antifa flyers were trying to tar the anti-mandate group as “rioters” when other Antifa across the country have been involved in all kinds of rioting over the past couple of years, not to mention for years before, not only here but in Europe. We saw $500,000 worth of destruction caused by radical leftists in Portland last month. The police couldn’t stop them. An Antifa leader allegedly shot a protester against the vaccine mandate in September.
