Pretty much, yes. That's how it happened here in Norway in the 80s-90s, in England in the 80s, France and Germany etc. Once the nazis are back off the streets and in hiding or disbanded antifa usually dissolves as well. The people involved will often stay activist but in other organizations and with other methods.

After the war is over the winning side always liquidates their soldiers, so that they do not return home to menace their own. Once a man has a taste for blood he must be put down.

Yes because they've been there all the time occasionally getting dressed up to fight Nazi's or the police at anti capatalist protest's. Otherwise they're working 9-5 like everyone else instead of plotting murders of minorities which is the key difference

Don't forget the punk rock and metal music scenes since the 80s. Every old-school punk rocker that I've ever met had at least one 'bash the fash' story from literal nazis and white supremacists crashing their shows and starting poo poo.

The balance beam between anti-fascists punching fascists and anti-fascists punching nonfascists is pretty one sided.

It doesn't help that news sites are salivating for any kind of violence so they can blame anti-fascists. Stuff like this: "Black-clad anarchists swarm anti-hate rally in California". And then the article goes on to say it was an anti-marxist rally and there was only a few guys who attacked and it was over quickly, but don't mention that the guys they attacked are nazis and make them seem like good people.

I mean from what I've seen most of the people involved in Antifa just don't like Nazis and racists. I don't think that once the Nazis are gone they'll start terrorizing groups random white folk so much as they'll go back to school or their jobs and continue their loving lives like they were doing before the Nazis showed up. If you want to worry about the few on the fringe that might try to keep fighting I can see that but there are shitheads in any movement or organization. I knew a few shitheads in the Army that weren't in the infantry for the right reasons but that didn't make all of us a bunch of murderous psychopaths.

Cops worry about antifa because they deal with them at their most volatile.

So in turn, people of all stripes are worried about antifa because of the cops don't like them, they must be doing something wrong.

Add advocates for false equivalency and you got a large portion of America disliking them.

Just to follow up: The guy who was using the can as a fire weapon was being attacked by the jackass with the flag who tried to STAB him, and the fireball guy and one other guy were defending a much older gentleman in the middle between them.

Then a KKK Grand Wizard pointed a firearm at him and almost discharged into him. While the cops watched.

gently caress the Nazis and the KKK.

There is no 'both sides are bad' here, the Nazis and the KKK have almost united goals: Genocide, Oppression, and Ethnic Cleansing. gently caress them. The Nazis lost their right to enjoy flying their flag and chanting their political views when they tried to turn Europe into a loving mass grave. That includes Tankies: gently caress anyone that thinks Stalinism is something to praise. But attempting to associate Antifa with Stalinism is just a whataboutism by the Right.

They're pretty far behind actual Nazis, your own state and municipal police forces (some of whom apparently intersect the former), weird oathkeepers, NRA loonies, Turkish Bodyguards, cracked enlisted shooting up army bases, Trump's true believers and even heavily armed school kids.

Any notion that antifa are bigger problems than any of the above is disingenuous at best...
