    No. I understand the desire to define these guys as “antifa” but no. That IS NOT what they are. They are freedom fighters fighting against a fascist system, but to try to call them “antifa” to try to garner support is an obvious ploy to try to help legitimize a group that doesnt even resemble the American armed forces fighting againt fascist leaders in the European theater in 1940s.

    No this is not a picture of “Antifa” members, and I dont think they would appreciate you labeling them as such.

      fighting against a fascist system

      You know what the “fa” in antifa means right?

      Hint: it’s in your text I just quoted.
