Almost everyone identifies as anti-fascist. That's why references to Hitler are references to things considered universally awful. A problem many have with Antifa is that they took a term and made it their own, implying that everyone else is not against fascism.



> implying that everyone else is not against fascism.

Weird how you take them opposing fascism and you doing nothing about fascism to correctly conclude that you're doing nothing about fascism but then baselessly blame them.


I think the biggest misunderstanding is that Antifa is some sort of group or organised movement.

That's it. Of course being anti-fascist or anti-capitalist are some of the main talking points of left wing protesters and sure, there might be groups of organised protestors. But there is no one organisation behind it all and that is the misconcenption many people have when they hear the word Antifa.

No one should be afraid or ashamed of claiming to be anti-fascist, just because some people who have claimed to be that have not acted ethically!
