Antifa is a hate group and in my opinion should be labeled a terrorist group. What is your opinion?

I don't know what a "hate group" is since it's a made up term but Antifa is violent and therefore bad news.

The "hate group" designation is ridiculous in any case. Simply arresting anyone who wears a mask to a demonstration might be enough to take care of the Antifa problem.

Forbidden?

Antifa should be *criticized.*

Violence should not be tolerated.

So were the American soldiers who fought the German White Supremacists and Fascists from Germany. America has a long history of fighting fascist, Nazism and White Supremacy, with violence if nothing else works. It's just as important to do it here in america as it was in Europe and Germany. maybe moreso.

Of course they should be allowed. Just like Communists, Anarchists, White Supremists, Black Supremists, BLM, KKK, Flat Earthers etc, etc ,etc.

And, like Slats Grobnick alluded, you can hate anybody as long as you don't violate anyone's civil rights.

The only justified violence is self-defense.

Since they freely admit that their belief is that violence is an acceptable reaction to speech, yes, they should be banned.

I don't like communists or white supremacists, but as long as they are not committing acts of violence they are free to say whatever they want to say. The difference with Antifa is they promote violence AND they follow through on it.
