re: #157 Decatur Deb

That is a source of confusion that must be eliminated. “Anti-fascist” is an adjective that describes everybody still here. “Antifa” as a noun describes a few notional organizations that think they exist, but hardly do IRL. (Name the treasurer or secretary of Antifa.) The violent bogeyman that grabs the public imagination is best identified as the Black Bloc, a whole bunch of assholes that go parasitic on Antifa (org) and anti-fascist (movement) actions.

Black Bloc has been around for ages too, and mostly latched onto protests against corporate money such as IMF protests and Occupy. And they usually end up being the shit that the media always defines those protests as despite essentially being poison pills rather than actually a dedicated part of any of those movements.
