    Look, why are you surprised? Didn't they try and attack that Daryl Davis the guy that spoke to and befriended 200 KKK members and persuaded them to leave that organisation?

    Antifa blockaded a conference he was speaking at in Philadelphia and when he invited them in to speak to them, they refused and called him a White Supremacist. :eek:

    Who or why does not matter.

    Intimidation, thrill of the mob, the excitement if beating random people.

    How so?

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!

    The names of numerous donors to journalist Andy Ngo’s GoFundMe have been released by antifa activists on Twitter, doxxing the names of those donating to the journalist’s medical funds.

    The doxxing was done on the belief that Andy Ngo faked a brain hemorrhage after being subjected to a public beating on June 29 at an Antifa protest in Ngo’s hometown of Portland.

    Doxxing is no fun. The coward's Swatting.

    Where is the dox though? Hate to keep flogging that horse, but when it comes to Andy Ngo's baseline credibility I can't discount the possibility that again, he didn't or does not operate an Anti-Fa account just to hype up his own chaos.

    The actual article says they don't know who did it but the target audience won't get that far they've clicked already and fallen for the grift.

    Swedish chapter of Antifa is AFA
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antifascistisk_Aktion
    In January 2006, Swedish AFA members attacked the Norrköping immigration office and threatened officials
    In July 2007, AFA members threatened and attacked an immigration judge in Gothenburg
    The judge's front door was hit with an axe, and the house was vandalized with red spraypaint
    Personal information about the judge and other judges was posted on the Internet


    An editorial in the tabloid newspaper Expressen argued that the label 'anti-fascist' was misleading, because the organization's methods, such as stealing the subscriber list of the National Democrats newspaper, and threatening the subscribers are counterproductive and similar to methods used by fascists.

    My opinion? Antifa is crap and simple cowardly thugs.
    There, happy now?

    I don't think there is much I can say to convince you to agree, hence the posting of their actions instead.
    You can ignore me, but you can't ignore real news.

    At least Biko is keeping the thread on the topic of antifa instead of you and your comrades link dumping "alt-right" stuff in a thread about antifa.

    Serious question, what age are you? If I was to guess by that post I'd say no older than 12.

    Rather than just ignoring the post, to which you chose to respond to, you continued to respond after trying to get a response. Each time in a 'holier than thou' way you went after the poster and not the post!! It's the height of petulance to repeatedly attempt to try and belittle a poster through the use of infantile behavior. Hypocrite! As a mod (in another thread)you should know to ignore these things if you don't like them.

    Which was completely wrong. It doesn't make his economic policies any less left wing.

    So ignoring the tyrannical regime he led and presided over, because he subscribed to the correct economic policies, he is left-wing.

    I would never say Castro was not left wing by the way. Stalin was also left-wing.

    The nuance of the entire left/right paradigm seems to escape you.

    Not at all, I just want to get to the nub of what is left-wing these days.
    It appears the social stuff doesn't matter. Its all about economics. So one can be quite liberal, but because they believe in free markets, they are not left-wing, so I guess that makes them right-wing, because they are not Paul Murphy.

    However, the narrative of my question remains unanswered.
    I asked you a number of times now, who is the most successful left-wing politician of the last 20 years.

    Your nonanswer speaks volumes, by the way.

    Who’s ignoring the bad things Castro did? Not I. Stalin started left wing and became an authoritarian nut job who invented a state religion to keep power.

    Do you think I feel everyone on the left is inherently good and on my side? They aren’t.

    The social stuff is of little consequence to me. Others might feel differently. As I say, it’s a broad spectrum. So broad it’s almost useless. I prefer to judge it purely based on economic policy.

    I know very little about Paul Murphy. You’ll have to fill that one out for me. I don’t live in Ireland.

    Daniel Ortega is trying his best, in spite of fighting the CIA for 20 years.

    In Spain, Felipe González; from 2004 to 2011 under José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero; and currently since 2018 under Pedro Sánchez

    You live in a social democracy, often led by centerists. Most states in Europe as social democracies. You know this. What point are you
    Actually trying to prove? Are we going the “all left wing politicians as closet despots” route again?

    If you have a problem with a post or poster report it and leave the modding to the mods

    The fact Brian? is a mod elsewhere is totally irrelevant - he is a regular user in this forum

    I don't know the man. But you have made me dislike Andy Ngo. He's the Hannity of the far right, who pretends he's not far right. I don't think he really is, it just pays better to be the minority on the wrong side of society.

    We need anti-fa. Every time a Boris Johnson burns a twenty pound note in front of a homeless person. Every time a Trump gains power and every time a self entitled brat uses the abuse of minorities to keep himself in privilege.
    Thugs are thugs. The Republican party, Legion of Mary and Antifa have thugs.
