That organization, that is not really an organization, but rather a specifically American movement, which did not exist in the 30's nor in Germany, probably did not help Hitler come to power.
- Antifa did not originate in the United States and has been a decentralized movement for a century, with roots in Italy, Germany and Spain
  
  I guess what they say about learning something new everyday is true.
  
  Probably shouldn't be in this thread or sharing opinions if you know this little about the subject.
  
  On the contrary, by interacting, I learned something new and now know more about the subject
  
  While I agree with you, maybe edit would make some sense. There is a huge amount of propaganda and misconceptions about antifa which is why it is so easy to take your original comment as truth.
  
  I figured it was like BLM, where it's not really a "group", just a call to activism, making the right wingers who want to "sue the CEO of Antifa for property damage" comical. (Yes these exist)

  > No. No it wasn’t. Antifaschistische Aktion was a paramilitary wing of the communists, fighting both the social democratic Iron Front and the Nazi Sturmabteilung. > > The only way in which it could be said to be allied with the Nazis is that both of them opposed the social democrats, but the enemy of your enemy is not in fact your friend. The KPD saw both the SPD and the NSDAP as fascists, rather than in any way allying with the NSDAP against the SPD.
  edit: shit, sorry, idk how that happened, this was meant to be a response to a different comment!
  
  Eh now that I think about it, Hitler was one of the best Anti Fascist advocates whoever lived. I mean he did end his career by killing the Fuhrer of Nazi Germany....
  
  Yeah! Surely the guy who killed Hitler should be regarded as a hero
  
  The reason Adolf Hitler shot himself in a bunker, is because everyone has some good in their heart.... Actually it's because he was losing the war and he was afraid of what the allies were going to do to him, but It's fun to be snarky.
