One more time for luck.

Antifa is a non-hierarchical deal - there aren’t leaders, there’s not even any hard and fast membership.
I’m not involved with them. Just know a couple of people who might be (I never asked).

Tell that to joe loughnanne..... in between destroying phones he won't stop proclaiming to be


if somebody wanted to go to an antifa meeting, where would they find information about it ?

When did Joe proclaim himself an Antifa leader?

If you’re interested I guess you start by becoming a member of an anarchist or revolutionary-left group. I doubt there’s much of an induction thereafter.

I’m betting you’ve never had a conversation about the man with any AFA associate.

I used to browse Indymedia back in the day and remember well when all this blew up. Also am (still) friends with a lot of activists and former prominent Indymedia posters and like I said it was common knowledge that he was a high level AFA organiser.

You wont find those AFA weirdos outside a computer, the only chance of a rare glimpse of this specimen is in the shadows of a dole office with their mother.

The guy who was in PBP, they even threw him out of the party irrc....... This is getting a tad random Eric.

Which groups? If you mean the various revolutionary groups - some have hierarchical structures, and some don’t - pick your poison. And where they do, it doesn’t have any bearing on Antifa groupings - which are separate and always non-hierarchical.

If the people I know - who I suspect might be involved - are anything to go by, then they don’t really match up with your own wee portrait there.

Yeah the fella that was sacked for assaulting a young woman. He also admitted to sorting a lot of drugs for a lot of people.

And this is a thread about antifa, not PBP.... While a member of PBP can be a member of Antifa, it does not mean they are a member...

so if antifa are going to come oppose a "far right :rolleyes:" group do they all just individually decide of their own will without anyone at all present to show up in black bloc formation ?

Yes I have no doubt those in the background are dangerous people, the street agitator types are the rejects of society..useful idiots.

They go after everyone that's right or right leaning.

They go after anyone that upsets the Govt, Corporates, Oligarchies and financial interests.

There aren't any meetings. There's no formal organisation.

Clarence Boddiker

You never see AFA attacking the likes of Vulture Funds or Corporate interests do you? Very telling..

How can he not be found? That's what you people do why cant you find that fella.

He was identified and named.

ohh do show me please, i was going to make a joke about him handing over his antifa membership card but apparantly you guys don't have those...

Clarence Boddiker

I think the Nazi guy wasn't the full shilling, he was sent packing by Patriots, told to f*ck off on a number of occasions.

I didn't know that, I spoke to him twice and tbh never believed he was a plant. I believe hes a genuine national socialist.

Where can I find where he was named?

Agree with you there.

Hardly going to dox the guy he's just a sad bast@rd.

So Antifa aren’t a real threat at all? That’s what I’ve been saying for months.

I guess you’ve never encountered a group who manage to agree stuff without a hierarchy? Have you ever met the ICA?

Again; YMMV.

Exactly, and Fascism is defined as the merger of the corporation and the State..which is exactly whats happening in Ireland, and not only are AFA not fighting against this...theyre actually supporting this position.

I guess he’s no more impressed by the ‘patriots’ as anyone else outside the ‘patriot’ groups. He keeps showing up.

If he'd managed to keep his arm down he'd have fit right in.

On account of what?
His advocacy of fascism?
His sartorial stylings?
His haircut?

Not really, someone spouting racism would be celebrated by the "patriots" Gemma etc. Start that talk around antifa people he wouldn't feel so brazen about it.

A member of antifa? But how? How can you be a member?

This Burkean "expose" is going down like a lead balloon!
So funny, their "leaks" getting zero traction, hardly anyone even bothered to reply on twitter. Maybe they will realise the truth, there isn't a conspiracy against them it's just that they are deeply unpopular.
