They are willing to dehumanise anyone to justify violence.

A former Antifa foot soldier has ripped the mask off the far-left’s violent underbelly, revealing how the self-styled “anti-fascists” weaponise slurs not to fight tyranny, but to justify murder — labelling foes “fascists” as a license to dehumanise and assault them without remorse.

The interview from Steven Edginton’s documentary “‘They’re Getting Ready for War’: Ex-Antifa Reveals Inside the Far-Left,” lays bare Antifa’s radicalisation pipeline: a toxic brew of bullying, arming up, and ISIS-style self-justification that’s morphed from street theater to outright terror prep.

„Andrew,” who ditched the extremist group after witnessing their descent into “self-radicalisation,” outlined the fascist slur’s lethal intent:

“They don’t kill you because you’re a fascist, they call you a fascist so they can kill you,”

– he said. As cited by Modernity news site, he further unpacked the psychology: “It is like calling a Nazi or a Fascist as a way to just dehumanise them, so you can do whatever to them. You could assault them. It’s funny to them. They laugh about it” – he explained.

🚨 FORMER MEMBER OF ANTIFA: „They don’t kill you because you’re a fascist…”

„…they call you a fascist SO they can kill you.” 💯

„How is this different than a group like ISIS?”

That’s how it works. The Left is violent.

Anyone Can Become a Target of Antifa

The operations of Antifa are now little different from those of ISIS, the ex-member declared, adding that nowadays, anyone can become a target of Antifa.”

“Originally they were trying to bully and threaten like what they would consider right wing extremists like Proud Boys or Christian Nationalists that show up to protest or events… That’s not the target anymore. Now, the target is anyone that doesn’t agree with them.”

The former Antifa activist added that he was scared when, even during simple, everyday conversations, people he knew started talking more and more about acts of violence, weapons, and going to gun ranges.

“They feel as though their under threat. Well, we’re gonna be genocided or put in prison or Nazis have taken over America. So we have to act now to stop it,” he continued, urging that “They’re getting ready for war,”

– he said.
