    Antifa is a collective of militant anti-fascists committed to opposing the rise of the far-right in Britain and abroad. We believe in the 'no platform' philosophy and the tradition of fighting fascism/racism stretching back to Cable Street, Red Lion Square, Lewisham, and Waterloo. We are a network of various organisations and individuals who see anti-fascism as part of the class struggle.

    After decades of underperforming, the far-right now poses a significant threat politically. This initiative aims to bring together those who wish to act rather than talk. We aim to oppose the far-right's electoral politics and where possible by means of direct action. As well as street activities we aim to promote militant anti-fascism in the football and music areas. This website will serve as an information and activity site, we will post up any intelligence on far-right activities and invite other anti-fascists to join us in counter activities.

    The 'Antifa' initiative has come from members of the Anarchist Federation, Class War Federation, and No Platform. Although we come from the anarchist tradition we are open to work with any group/individual that is serious about militant anti-fascism, but we will NOT work with any state affiliated groups.

    Why did you just cut and paste some text of antifas website? everyone here know the group exists.

    And to socialist punk, are you opposed to the existance of a state? becuase thats a membership requirement for Antifa.

You intellectuals and Bourgeois anarchists use it as a pretext for doing nothing. To do nothing, to remain motionless, arms at your sides, wearing kids gloves. Well, I have dirty hands. Right up to the elbows. I've plunged them in the filth and blood. But what do you hope? Do you think you'll govern innocently?"

    Antifa has requirements?

    I thought it was just the same as ARA in the sense that its all-accepting...

    I suppose theres a greater population of Anarchists abroad.

    Antifa is open to anyone who opposes Facism, Capitalism and the state. And it dosn't believe in using reform.

    If you dont mind being in a group with these aims, fine.

    What you score on a test means nothing, it's what you actually do that should be recorded.

    Awesome, although im afraid they are a European group, not for any reason, it's just how it happened.

    Anti-Racist action are a very similar group who have members in the US.
