It appears the US congress has just proposed (edited) a bill that declares “Antifa” a terrorist organization.

This doesn’t even make sense as Antifa isn’t an organization, but just a shared name for anyone that self-identifies as a person opposed to and willing to fight fascism 🤦‍♂️

Stay safe out there!

Note: SLRPNK is an EU based service and we are openly Antifa here, and proudly so!

      It was coined by British Trots to describe Internationalists who failed to condemn Stalin’s occupation of Eastern Europe. Western liberals adopted the terminology to describe any form of insurgent anti-colonialist movement or its supporters. Eventually, it became a tag-line for American activists and politicians writ-large.
