Bang / Guns Title: Antifa fight club: Teaching the far left to punch and shoot Members of Haymaker and other more militant anti-fascist factions consider the far right a threat, and one they must physically prepare to defend themselves from
The idea that these are self-defense courses is really a bit of Antifa salesmanship which the author of the piece seems to have bought into. As the article makes clear, the members of the Haymaker Collective are watching videos of protests and learning both individual and group fighting techniques. In other words, the group is preparing people to participate in street battles. As weve all seen, Antifa is not averse to throwing the first punch in those confrontations. But its not just martial arts, Antifa members are also training with firearms: The more people that are armed, the more that we have the ability to fight police terrorism or fight fascist terrorism, said Joseph Jordan, an anarchist who participates in Seattle antifa groups. When the fuckers see that we are willing to shoot back, they back the f**k off. On the East Coast, John who asked to be identified only by his first name, as he has been arrested for possessing illegal ammunition in the past said he feels the left has not moved quickly enough to acquire guns. People say, When the revolution happens, well find the weapons. But weapons dont just materialize out of nowhere, he said. We should take advantage of the fact that our country lets people bear arms.
If there was a legitimate war, martial arts wouldnt be that useful, John said. Again, this is being described as self-defense but what exactly does fighting police terrorism mean to Antifa? Were talking about anarchists and far-left anti-capitalists, many of whom consider all police officers to be fascists apart from anything the police actually do. Indeed, if you watch enough video of Antifa in action, youll notice that they frequently turn their ire against police when there are no fascists for them to bash. Heres part of an FAQ published by Rose City Antifa: In short, Antifas idea of self-defense means they make their own judgment about who is a threat. The threat could be someone saying something they dont like, i.e. talking. What they are calling self-defense is what many of us would call throwing the first punch in violation of someone elses civil rights. And if that self-granted right to strike first extends to firing the first shot as well as the first punch, we could have a real problem. Also, notice the talk from John about getting ready for the revolution. Thats standard communist agitprop but in this case, does anyone think this sounds like self-defense? Thats not usually how a revolution happens, is it? Again, this is about gearing up for a battle, one that the far left everywhere looks forward to fighting. Heres one chapter of Redneck Revolt, a far-left group, firing rifles in the desert in Arizona. At the end of this clip, one of the members charges a Pepe the frog cartoon with a bayonet. Its silly but the idea that this is purely about self-defense doesnt really add up.

C'mon, you didn't see this awesome arsenal of weapons and the intimidating combat shooting skills of these Antifa scum? Civil War II would be a very short affair if it ever comes.
No kidding. People so fat their arms flap when shooing a .223 ain't even going to be able to run for cover,never mind run away. Not that their leadership gives a damn. Having these airheads slaughtered like the sheep they are in the street will serve their purposes better than any other outcome. Just look at all the press they can print about "innocent protesters murdered in the streets by fascist police and militia" will sell to the gullible.
