I would agree with that... AntiFascist Aug 2017 #4
No antifascist would ever make a website "antifa.com". The reason is simple: DetlefK Aug 2017 #2

Not the one in Charlottesville but ones in Berkeley & Portland.

but I also didn't see the alt-right groups in Charlottesville debating over whether they should march with Nazis. They were truly a united front and we need to remain united in opposing them, otherwise some of their objectives are met. It's bad enough that they are given aid and comfort from the President.

- They already have their internet-sites.
- "com" is derived from "commerce", and the Antifa usually also is anti-Big Money. For example, the anti-globalization organization "attac" has a ".org"-website.



Whoever registered antifa.com has no idea how antifascists think.

That isn't proof of anything other than someone bought an available domain name.

Or can you prove that all the antifa websites that exist were started from Russia?

You don't have to like antifa, but what you found doesn't prove anything.

I think It's important enough to re-open this thread right now given the smear campaign against Biden:
This domain is now in PA, and someone set up a link in it, so when you type antifa.com in a browser, it goes to joebiden.com
