It's crazy how many people just on this meme think antifa is an actual organization. 🀦

How else they are paying their demonstrators money for each demonstration?

Soros, Bill Gates and the Bilderbergs, I guess? Probably also that Davos guy who Alex Jones et al TOTALLY aren't fixated on for antisemitic reasons either, nuh-uh!

/s in case it isn't abundantly clear

It's a movement, isn't it? That's still a form of organization.

No it's not. It has no members. It had no leaders. It's just an idea. What do you think an organization is?

People are just nitpicking the meaning of the word Organization. Antifa is an organization in a very loose definition of the word. If you want to be more accurate, you'd call it a Network. Organizations (in the stricter sense) has a single leader and has a very tree-like structure with more power on top (like Corporations!), which Antifa obviously is not.

Though you're correct in that Antifa is a "movement".

In my opinion it would be a movement if facism was the status quo. Given most people are discussing Western nations, which while adopting facism at an alarming pace; are not yet facist. Antifa is not a movement nor an organization. Since not being facist is the status quo and antifa means that you're not going to support facism, in my opinion antifa is the current "establishment" and being facist is an effort to move the status quo. Aka a movement.
