Antifa: Trump’s Invisible Enemy

Antifa is not an organisation, not even a loose coalition. Antifa is an idea: anti-fascism or, more broadly, anti-authoritarianism. You cannot round up and arrest an idea or a concept and, in the case of anti-fascism, even if it was possible why would you want to? Unless you are a fascist. But it isn’t possible, just like you can’t imprison democracy. I would like to know who invented the contraction “antifa,” and why. It has certainly not made political dialogue any easier. In fact, it has achieved the exact opposite. It seems that the majority of people DO believe in the existence of an organised party called “Antifa.” Congratulations, whoever you are. One of the first steps in controlling a population is to feed them disinformation, in order to modify their thinking to better conform to your party’s line. An undereducated population unused to critical thinking is the best material out of which to sculpt the society of your dreams and, in the USA, you have a large population perfectly suited to being herded.

They didn’t have hit singles but there was a brisk trade in sheet music. Write a good piece and as soon as word of it got ‘round, everyone with the means wanted their own copy. It has always paid to be popular.…
