Conrad Black: Federal Action Against Antifa Is Long Overdue

President Donald Trump’s recent threat to declare Antifa a terrorist organization is a reasonable and helpful response to the contemporary problem of disorder and excessive violence in urban America.
Antifa was founded in 2007 in Portland, Oregon, and is a decentralized group of urban associations sharing the name that is a contraction of the expression anti-fascist. It is an anarchistic and particularly anti-capitalist movement that expressly favours violence, though sometimes confines itself to non-violent but obstructive demonstrations. It has had recourse to violence on countless occasions and is never apologetic for it. Its members appear in partially ninja-like outfits that conceal their faces and make it impossible to identify them.
They are so clumsy and brutal in their activities that even the staunchly leftist linguistics professor Noam Chomsky dismissed them a decade ago as a gift to the right because of their mindless violence. Trump’s announcement that he was contemplating designating Antifa a terrorist organization raised the hackles and attracted the derision of the American left, which claimed that he had no power to make any such designation nor to give any effect to it. This is itself an unusually stupid argument even by the standards of the radical American left. The President of the United States certainly can announce that an organization is a terrorist one and he can certainly deploy force against it, including domestic espionage to facilitate the identification and prosecution of its members and harass and disrupt it when it violates municipal ordinances or commits more serious infractions.
All indications now are that the Democrats have once again clambered aboard the wrong side of an issue to champion the views of not more than about 10 percent of Americans against an overwhelming majority that is being vacuumed up and co-opted by the administration. On the matter of the deportation of the more than 15 million people who have entered the United States illegally—of whom only about 1,200,000 have left, voluntarily or otherwise—the Democrats were ostentatiously concerned with the civil rights of certain of these people no matter how undesirable and recidivistic they were, rather than with removing this terrible strain from the country’s social safety net and law enforcement forces and educational facilities.
The Democrats announced that Trump’s tariff program would leave empty shelves and skyrocketing prices and misery. But the tariffs have reduced the federal budget deficit by 40 percent and the trade deficit by 50 percent without increasing inflation, and without that progress costing the United States or any citizen of the United States one cent.
