Can someone explain what Antifa's idea of anti-fascism is? I know what it means but I clearly don't know what they think it means because I don't think it means what THEY think it means.
"Marxist–Leninist" devotees. IMHO I gather it's not so much anti-fascism as it is just desire for at least a full on initial state of anarchy in their hopes that it gains them opportunity to experiment with a different societal foundation so to speak. Side goal is maybe conversion from capitalism to socialism, but that's probably just a bonus for them not so much as a final goal. IMHO it's more just destruction of whatever current state and culture they live in just to experiment if they might thrive in an entirely different state. All other members of their society and communities and the world as a whole be damned.
in response to the "final goal" part of your comment. I doubt they have put even that much thought into it. I've not seen any political propaganda for their desired state, but I'm also not following them
