Ep 073 "Modern Antifa: Communist Insurgency in the US Part Two"

About this episode

The episode examines the domestic communist and terrorist insurgency of Antifa and its implications for the US civil conflict.

I examine the domestic communist and terrorist insurgency that is Antifa and its affiliated organizations both governmental and non-government. In this second episode, we examine the history that brought the US to the brink of civil war it is at now. America is in a Civil War with a major political party and its blacked-shirted paramilitary arm going from cold to hot war. Prepare accordingly. Part One at Episode 72. I did a primer on cell organization in Ep 051 "Cellular Ecology: Guerrilla Organizations and Grunt Math".
