Trump is right, antifa are terrorists; they always were

The word “anti-fascist” began as a lie. It remains a lie today.
Clueless commentators, ignorant of its history, have been known to refer to the "antifa" movement as “strictly principled anti-fascists,” or a group that “protests fascism.” In fact, this is a movement of violent extremists whose philosophy traces back to the early 20th century.
The riots now raging in U.S. cities are not about police misconduct. They haven’t been for many days. The senseless and callous police killing of George Floyd inspired peaceful protests at first, but now it has become an excuse for a troupe of professional revolutionaries and marauders. They use these incidents in order to flex their muscle and test how far their impressionable recruits are willing to go in breaking the law, as Jared Monroe discovered upon infiltrating one such group in Utah.
The Soviets coined “anti-fascism” as a propaganda term some nine decades ago. The Soviet regime needed to develop a message that would mollify credulous Western democrats and get them to stop viewing Bolshevism as a threat.

On these terms, “antifa” demands that when its black-hooded thugs take to the streets to wound and maim passersby in the name of some nice-sounding stated cause — anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-greed, anti-corruption — they deserve the sympathy of their countrymen. They would get less sympathy if more people understood their overarching goals: the violent overthrow of the U.S. government, abolition of private enterprise, and the violent suppression of the speech of anyone who disagrees with their ends or violent means.
But every now and then, so-called anti-fascism is exposed for the lie that it is. We are currently experiencing one of those moments. Amid the riots, the totalitarian mask is slipping.
There is a word for people who use violence to silence and intimidate others to advance a political cause, who try to make people afraid in their own cities and towns. That word is “terrorist.” We cannot speak in detail of every wannabe group that embraces the “antifa” label. But those specific groups and networks involved in organizing and conducting violent street actions are domestic terrorists. Those throwing rocks and beating innocent passers-by as badly as the worst cop or klansman in America — they are terrorists. And these are the things the antifa movement is rightly known for.

Historian Norman Davies wrote of the term “anti-fascism” that it “gave the false impression that principled democrats believing in the rule of law and freedom of speech could rub along fine with the dictators of the proletariat.” That is the same lie that sustains the antifa movement today, and it is betrayed by the violence of its adherents.
