Publisher's Summary
In the wake of tragic events in Charlottesville, Virginia, and Donald Trump's initial refusal to denounce the white nationalists behind it all, the "antifa" opposition movement is suddenly appearing everywhere. But what is it, precisely? And where did it come from?
As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism - also known as "antifa." Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler in Europe during the 1920s and '30s, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amid opposition to the Trump administration and the alt-right. They could be seen in news reports, often clad all in black with balaclavas covering their faces, demonstrating at the presidential inauguration, and on California college campuses protesting far-right speakers, and most recently, on the streets of Charlottesville, Virginia, protecting, among others, a group of ministers including Cornel West from neo-Nazi violence. (West would later tell reporters, "The anti-fascists saved our lives.")
Simply, antifa aims to deny fascists the opportunity to promote their oppressive politics, and to protect tolerant communities from acts of violence promulgated by fascists. Critics say shutting down political adversaries is anti-democratic; antifa adherents argue that the horrors of fascism must never be allowed the slightest chance to triumph again.
In a smart and gripping investigation, historian and former Occupy Wall Street organizer Mark Bray provides a detailed survey of the full history of anti-fascism from its origins to the present day - the first transnational history of postwar anti-fascism in English. Based on interviews with anti-fascists from around the world, Antifa details the tactics of the movement and the philosophy behind it, offering insight into the growing but little-understood resistance fighting back against fascism in all its guises.

based but dry
it's a well researched and well produced book but it's not very entertaining. A good resource on the history and philosophy of antifa but if you were hoping for something fun or easy listening, look elsewhere.

very illuminating
Good overview of this group and their obsession with facism. Found the narrators attempts at accents amusing considering in 2023 that would be considered racist and facist adjacent but it adds to the book.

Guide to political violence
A fair chunk of this book is a instruction on how to organize violence and get away with carrying out attacks on people. It could be used as a how to guide by any hate group, left or right.
Other than that its a bit of an insight into the delusional thinking of a far left extremist group made up communists and anarchists whose members are just as pathetic, unhinged and dangerous as the national socialists they want so badly to kill.

A book for self-righteous bullies
Nothing is defined empirically, it is all defined tribally. Its just cult vs cult, for no supreme reason. There is no wisdom at all to be found here.
