Sigh…

You’re playing silly semantical gains here.

The group/movement known as “Antifa” calls themselves “anti-fascist,” so therefore those who oppose their ideology (e.g. calling everyone who disagrees with them a “fascist”) and their tactics (e.g. extensive use of violence and property destruction) must not oppose fascism, right?

Just like #BLM calls their movement “Black Lives Matter,” so anybody who opposes their ideology and tactics must believe that Black lives don’t matter, right?

I’m sorry, but people aren’t falling for that BS anymore.

We oppose fascism AND we despise “Antifa” and its violence.

We believe that Black lives (along with White lives, Asian lives, Hispanic lives, and all other human lives) matter AND we call out “BLM” on their misleading rhetoric.

As for what the “left” is supposed to be, it’s traditionally been based around progressive economic populism and opposition to imperialism. Sadly though, these have taken the back-burner to identity politics for most “leftists” of late.
