    The US government designates most of their citizens and almost the entire world (except Israel and the Russian government) as terrorists as antifa means you’re anti fascism. Guess I’m a terrorist now.

      As a European, I wish it were only Israel and Russian governments… AfD is polling highest in Germany, Finland elected a far-right government as did Italy, France is well on the way to do that, and possibly so is Spain. At least I’m militant in a communist organization fighting fascism in Spain, proud to have participated and coordinated the anti-genocide mass protests of a week ago, everyone who’s reading this: organize, organize and organize. Join local worker struggles and international worker solidarity with Palestinians, unionize yourself and your coworkers, push for general strike against the genocide in Palestine and for better rights for workers

        At least the right here in The Netherlands is fucking up big time. The government fell twice (for the first time ever) and the recent protests of last Saturday were a complete disaster. The only thing the right is good at over here is showing how much they are incompetent clowns.

        I know the right is on the rise here in the EU as well. However, the fight against them is also growing stronger. And no matter what, there’s always coming an end to fascism. Stay strong!

      Fwiw, the President can’t just “declare” that a group is a domestic terrorist organization. That’s a violation of the Fifth Amendment.

      We’ve been able to get away with declaring foreign groups as terrorist organizations because they’re not based in America so the government can claim the Constitution doesn’t apply to them.

      Of course, we all also know this won’t stop Trump…

        It’s never stopped the HF Ideology.

        Right now it’s anti-fascists. It used to be Islam. Before that it was hippies. Before that it was commies. Before that it was Native Americans.

        Then you kind of split at the Mason-Dixon line. In the south it was Abolitionists.

        Right. As if Trump cares about the constitution. He’s done many unconstitutional things already, and he will continue to do so.
