Not defending ANTIFA, as I believe their stance on meeting violence with violence to be something I am strictly against.

But they also wouldn't exist if Facism didn't exist.

They exist as an extremist to oppose other extremists.

It's all well and good to constantly lay the blame at ANTIFA... But the issue is an entirely political and systemic one in the USA that allows such extremism to breed to such extents to start with on both sides of the political divide.

You fail to understand Antifa's purpose  they use "antifa" as a recruiting tool but they are in reality communists, like left of Stalin types, and some are anarchists. It's really just the fools at the lowest level who think they are fighting fascists but hey, 99.9% of people aren't facists in the western world. 

Missing the point again. Why are they successful in recruiting (if they are, dunno). Doesn't matter what they are, police brutality and systemic racism provided a focal point for groups like that to exist and recruit. Fix the root cause of the problems and the symptoms go away (or focus on something else that needs fixing)


Here statues are now also removed and the naming of certain streets and buildings are reconsidered.

In Edinburgh they want to update the description of the monument to Henry Dundas.

The City of Edinburgh is proposing to dedicate a controversial 1827 Henry Dundas monument to those enslaved because of his actions. New signage will explain that Dundas was "instrumental in deferring the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade".

Dundas st runs through my town as well, 500 meters from my house. I wonder if they'll go as far as rename it all through Ontario. Dundas Street is a major historic arterial road in Ontario, Canada. The road connects the city of Toronto with its western suburbs and several cities in southwestern Ontario.
