Antifa (short for "anti-fascist") is a decentralized, leaderless political movement in the United States and abroad whose adherents oppose fascism, racism, and other far-right ideologies.
Structure and Ideology
Decentralized Nature: It is not a single organization but a leaderless movement without a hierarchical structure.
Political Leanings: Adherents typically hold far-left, anti-authoritarian, and anti-capitalist views.
Core Beliefs: They argue that fascism must be actively resisted through peaceful "direct action" rather than relying solely on the state or electoral politics.
