Antifa is a phrase used to describe a range of things. As a group, they engage in doxing, harassment, violence, and property damage against what they define as the alt-right. Their destructive tactics that alienate and discredit other protesters and the curious lack of police charges, points to a high level of infiltration. Antifa activists have a high activity level in Wikipedia, giving them the power to defame, esepcially by defining people as right-wing extremists

Their choice of targets for harassment is interesting, often aligning with official narratives by focusing on combating conspiracy theorists and by 2021, opponents of the COVID-19 coup d'etat

Official narrative

The American antifa movement grew after the 2016 United States presidential election of Donald Trump. The mainstream media and deep state politicians insist that Antifa is only an idea: In July 2020, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee that the agency "considers antifa more of an ideology than an organization"[1].

Three August 2020 Department of Homeland Security draft reports did not mention antifa as a domestic terrorism risk.[2]

Official opposition narrative

Antifa is a left-wing, anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement, both in the United States and other Western countries. As a highly decentralized array of leaderless groups, antifa uses both nonviolent and violent direct action to achieve its aims rather than policy reform.[3] Much of antifa political activism is nonviolent, involving poster and flyer campaigns, mutual aid, speeches, protest marches, and community organizing.[4]They also engage in protest tactics, seeking to combat fascists and racists such as neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other far-right extremists. Antifa's willingness to directly confront far-right activists (and in some cases, law enforcement) is a departure from other leftist opposition movements. This confrontation sometimes involves digital activism, doxing, harassment, physical violence, and property damage against those they identify as belonging to the far right.

Black Block

Since the anti-World Trade OrganizationBattle of Seattle” in 1999, gangs of young, masked, property-destroying antifas have been highly visible international protests, causing divisions between protestors and police. These are broadly known as the Black Block, in reference to their dress code. Over the years, many exposures have revealed their followers as agents provocateurs[5].
