FBI Labels Anti-Fascists and Anti-Racists as Violent Extremists (unicornriot.ninja)

A recently released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) document titled “Domestic Terrorism Symbols Guide”* links common protest symbols to “terrorism” — another marker in a common theme of conflating militant protest for social justice with deadly terrorist violence within the United States. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the Brennan Center have raised warnings about such documents, citing inadequate protections for people’s constitutional rights.

Yes but antifa is anti fascist.

Calling antifa a terrorist organization because in another universe an organization sharing the name could be bad is like banning ice cream because it could be made out of maggots.

Damn, it's like you didn't even understand literally my entire comment.

Capitalist authoritarianism and socialist/communist authoritarianism are both the same thing, using terms like fascism to pretend it's different is the problem.

If you use authoritarian means to get your way you are only different from fascism economically. If you aren't authoritarian then you're not going to support any group regardless of what they refer to themselves as or what they consider the opposition to be called.

An anarchist group is authoritarian? What are you smoking.

If a group tries to violently overthrow a system then yes they're authoritarian. Shouldn't be that hard to piece together.

Last time I checked anarchy involves the destruction of all systems of economics and government because people aren't smart enough to realize that's a fucking delusionally stupid idea.

This comedy sketch illustrates with literally just one example how ridiculous the idea of not having some kind of meta structure to handle human needs is.
