There was a time in my life when I was angry, bitter, and deeply unhappy.

I wanted to lash out at the whole fascist system, the greedy, hardless power structure

that didn't care about me or the rest of societies in his invictims.

A system that had robbed, beaten, and stolen from my ancestors.

The whole corrupt edifice deserved to be brought down, reduced to rubble.

I was a perfect recruit for Antifa.

The left wing group, which claims to fight against fascism.

And so, I became a member.

Now I was one of those who had the guts to fight against the fascists, who were exploiting

disadvantaged people.

I wasn't a hard-carrying anti-fascist.

There's no such thing as an official Antifa membership.

But I was ready at a moment's notice to slip on the black mask and march in when Antifa

calls the black block, a cadre of other black clad Antifa members to taunt police and destroy

property.

Antifa stands for anti-fascists, but that's purposely deceptive.

For one thing, the very name is calibrated so that anyone who dares to criticize the group

or its tactics can be labeled fascists.

This allows Antifa to justify violence against all who dare stand up or speak out against

them.

A few groups boldly declare themselves Antifa, like Riosody and Tifa in Portland.

But most don't, preferring to avoid the negative publicity.
