Anti-Fascist Action

[Edelweiss]

I can only speak for Germany, so here's what I know:
The AFA or Antifa is a de-central organized network of autonomous anti-fascist groups. In Germany they are pretty big, every bigger city has at least one Antifa. There are communist as well as anarchist groups. But all Antifa groups are strongly anti-nationalist and anti-capitalist. Some on this board would call them liberal because all groups are also strongly pro-immigration, pro-gay, anti-sexist, but they certainly aren't, many Antifa groups are very militant. Direct action against the fascists is the most important part of their work, which includes things like raiding kiosks of Neo-Nazi parties, organizing counter-demonstrations to Nazi marches, organizing violent Mayday protests, threatening and intimidation of known Neo-Nazis, agitation against the fascists and the German government, and organizing leftist demostrations and protests - often as a part of the Black Bloc.

I'm not a member of any Antifa group but sympathizer. I know the scene and I'm taking part in their actions, like counter-demonstrations. It's a de-central organisation of autonomous groups, and they don't have a common website, but here are some local group websites:

Berlin: http://www.antifa.de
Düsseldorf: http://www.antifakok.de
Göttingen: http://www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/aam/
