2/ “While they do this under the cover of & #39;anti-fascism,& #39; the reality is that Antifa define the entire American political system—regardless of party affiliation—as & #39;fascist.& #39;”
3/ "Law enforcement has largely failed to understand the nature of this threat. Seeking a rigidly hierarchical organization, some analysts have concluded, against all evidence, that Antifa does not exist in any meaningful sense.”
4/ “The reality is that Antifa demonstrates an elaborate but non-hierarchical structure... The most basic structure of Antifa is the affinity group... Affinity groups come together to form clusters.”
5/ “Antifa websites describe in detail how to organize affinity groups and chapters, how to vet potential members, prevent infiltration, and securely communicate.”
6/ “Antifa relies heavily on support organizations such as the Democratic Socialists of America... It is common for Antifa to require outside groups to sign... & #39;memorandums of understanding& #39; to ensure allies agree not to interfere with criminal activity...”
7/ “Like their predecessors in the Weather Underground and Red Army Faction, Antifa will continue to escalate its behavior unless it is checked.”
