How Can Anyone on the Left Possibly Defend Antifa?

ter·ror·ism
ˈterəˌrizəm/
noun
  1. the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

That comes right from Google's own dictionary. Well here was an Antifa poster prior to the Weimaresque street fight in Berkeley last weekend:


























"Come punch you favorite nazi..." oh and by the way, everyone I disagree with is a Nazi or something or whatever. Violence is OK as long as you disagree with my opinion.  I'm so progressive!

As stated above, the "unlawful use of violence... for political aims" is literally the definition of terrorism. And no, not literally in the way the Donald Trump is "literally Hitler." Literally as in actually literally.

And the violence they started at Berkeley is just one of many, many examples. When Milo Yiannopoulos spoke last in Berkeley there was an Antifa riot where a woman was maced and a man knocked unconscious. They planned to set off a smoke bomb of some sort at a pro-Trump inauguration party. They attacked all sorts of people at the inauguration, including sucker punching the white nationalist Richard Spencer.

Which got The New York Times to ask the hard question "Is It OK to Punch a Nazi?"

Oh yeah, and we'll decide who is and who is not a Nazi.

By the way, is it OK to punch a Commie?

And I will decide who is and who is not a commie.

Now many on the left are complaining about a woman who was punched the so-called "Battle of Berkeley." They seem to have ignored that she was a participant in what is literally a domestic terrorist organization and was fighting like everyone else. She was even caught throwing M-80's and rocks prior to the street fight. I guess the Left forgets about gender equality and goes back to chivalry when it suits them.

And of course, they're all but silent on this:


Honestly, in the age when everyone is asked to disavow some dingbat supporter, why can't the Left just disavow Antifa completely and totally? Really how can anyone support an organization that believes speech is violence and violence is self-defense against speech?

But then again, these are many of the same people that believe we should topple a secular dictatorship in the Middle East to hand it over to Al Qaeda and ISIS on a silver platter. Pro-terrorism at home and abroad...
