The Black Bloc: Inside America’s Hard Left
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 май 2024
- The left-leaning anti-fascist movement-or Antifa-has been around for decades, popping up in North America and Europe in response to rising white nationalist or fascist sentiments. Now, Antifa has made a resurgence in the US, where members clad in masks and nondescript black clothing physically confront groups of white supremacists and neo-Nazis who've started organizing in cities around the country.
Since the 2016 presidential election, Antifa has become a staple at alt-right and Trump-related rallies that often result in violence. VICE met up with a few Antifa activists in Philadelphia who engage in “Black Bloc” actions to find out more about their ideology, tactics, and individual reasons for participating in a high-risk form of activism.

Since the 2016 presidential election, Antifa (short for "anti-fascist") has become a staple at right-wing rallies. The faceless, leaderless group stretches across North America and Europe -- and they aren't afraid to incite violence.

the funny thing is that these people are fascists...

Fascists shutdown speak....DUMMY!that's what antifa does
Dressing up in black and beating up white people... Sounds like something a racist would do.

Enough is enough. Ahmaud Arbery was a black man shot dead while he was jogging. Antifa is the answer because countless peaceful protests lead to nowhere. Radical change for the good is better than radical groups supporting divisive, gun-wielding, largely low educated extremists. Forget Iraq and Iran, America hasn't even dealt with their homegrown extremists at their doorstep.
How low have the standards come?

So its not just America. From what I've seen it happens like that in England, France, Greece, and Germany. And i think recently Australia. Who did it first i wonder?
@MatthewPeter-bf2hc Here in Germany, hard lefts are becoming more and more normalised and sadly get less criticised by politicians and society since we have right wingers.

The far left and far right are the minority on each side but they scream the loudest. This creates a false sense that the majority of peoples political opinions are on one side or the other. Most are in the middle leaning left or right on a number of different issues.
💯
Exactly!
Facts
The sad reality is that it isn’t so much that way in colleges, where (currently) young people are supposed to have the time of their lives.
I’m right in the middle, the people in the far on both sides need their own country I swear, they both make it hard to live in the USA. Both sides are so brainwashed and don’t have an opinion of their own. They are actually followers. You know it’s kinda funny they said they aren’t about violence but you always see them laying a hand on someone…. Violence usually isn’t the solution, but at least be honest that you are for violence and stop trying to make yourself feel better, own up to what you believe in and stand for. 🤷♀️

This is actually decent journalism because you let their own words paint the picture. Good job vice.
It may depend on if you agree with their idoelogy. If I use an equal standard, it was actually quite poor: didn't ask them obvious questions; got some facts wrong; didn't ask them challenging questions either. The Right in politics renounces their crazies (the Manipulative Media doesn't seem to report that). We on the Left are endorsing them. Is it any wonder Trump is winning? I'm not American, I'm Australian (by immigration), but that's what I see. Trump has exposed the hatred and racist double standards of my own group. And he deliberately whips it up, because that's how he wins (it worked each time, didn't it?).
They let their own words paint the lunacy, Jared.
But their own words are total bullshit. They project everything they do onto their enemies

ryan steele also "we're not regular protesters we achieve things through violence" and later "the police are the violent ones" thought they usually go to protests and stab people, beat them up and even light them on fire but yeah... Cops are way more violent with their pepersprays
ryan steele I think what they were trying to say that they do not prefer violence, but sometimes it is necessary. Not saying I support or oppose them, just an interpretation
Theres a difference between liking something and doing something you feel you need to do. If you think the guy got a boner after punching the guy you're porbably right but that is an assumption unless you see the bulge 100%
Ryan steele
It's useless to quote that and put it outside of their context, they have well explained how they are looking at the situation.
There are many people, greeks philosopher, painter, writter, and they all were against war but if the painting and the music and the philosophal thing have been able to be that evolved, that peaceful and now they are against all form of violence it was only because at one certain point their countries were dominant and heavyli armed. Their peaceful will have seen the day "because of wars" / "thanks to wars".
That is not a nonsense, if someone try to lead and grow by being aggressive, violent, making people around being scary, and if the government do nothing against them then the only possible option might be the violence, may you hate it or love it, it might be the only possible option to stop that.
So yes, you can be violent and sometimes you could even NEED to be violent in order to live in peace and that, even if you hate violence.
lol, but they don't need to be violent. What they are doing is the opposite of what anyone needs. These people are ignorant and dangerous. To give any type of justification for their actions is absolute ludicrous

A lot of people get confused about the term fascism. The term was originally to explain the Mussolini way of authoritarian government. Centralized state power and ultra nationalism.

'Xactly. Notice how they speak of things only on the surface, saying Trump is a fascist, with no deep explaination. The say the police are violent, without proving Antifa was not the first to resort to violence. They say violent means are a last resort, thus admitting they are willing to be violent, while they are left-wing, who claims to be against violence. Antifa says early on, a lot of people are in danger, without clarifying what group(s) of people are endangered. I'll tell you who are indanger, Antifa, the people who are not muslim invaders. Not the invaders, as you think. The left do not even know what fascism, nazism, tollerence, or help is,thinking help is not pushing others on, but taking over the troubles of others, solving things for them entirely, thus not helping others in the longer run. But hey, the fact that the left thinks only short-term is no new thing. Why does this make me thing of the 2007-movie, Hot Fuzz? Hmmm...

@@gaita3827 I can't tell if this is a joke or not.
This is how all black bloc groups are - they are the folks who come in to wreck stuff and start riots. They will make peaceful protest violent - no political ties at all they just want to cause chaos. This documentary did very poorly in showing what they actually are because this one small group co-opted it. Often times they are agent provocateurs hired by police - they were caught out in a G8 summit protest once - one of them was an on duty officer to start riots because a riot will turn the attention away from what the protest was about and the news will then focus on the riot.
You can be ideologically opposed to it, but to deny that violence and property damage can bring about change is to ignore history
I don’t think you are talking about blac bloc it sounds like you are talking about the looters that slither into protests to loot local businesses

except they aren't just attacking nazis and the KKK. They are actively trying to silence anything that doesn't follow far left thinking. They simply label anything they don't like a "fascist" and go after them.
I find many different flaws with their ideology because they contradict themselves. They stated at the beginning that they break laws and dress the same so the can’t be identified. They also refuse to let any party besides theirs to peacefully protest and assemble.
Perla Guzman you live in delusion, i can tell you in no uncertain terms that fascism will never rise again in europe or north america, their ideas are so wildly unpopular and they would never be elected into places of power (no, trump is not a fascist) . antifa has again and again targeted innocent individuals who are not fascist nor could be lichened to anything of the sort. the campaigns of doxxing, harassment, threats of violence and real violence conducted by various antifa groups is completely unacceptable and has no place in society regardless of who it is directed towards. what many members of antifa seem to completely miss is that they subscribe to an ideology that is just as disgusting, authoritarian and dangerous to society as any far right fascist, nazi, or white supremacist. radicals and revolutionaries are tyrants in their own right, they do not respect personal liberties and they commit acts of violence against "enablers" (who are simply average working joes trying to live their life) and any and all who do not want to be a part of their revolution. nobody has the right to commit violence against people who are simply exercising their freedom of speech, and yet antifa believes it does. it's disgusting. finally antifa and other anarchist/communist movements are completely misguided, liberal capitalist democracy has done more good things for humanity than any other system and this is undeniable. liberal society has lifted humans beyond our primeval nature to become something truely amazing. communism is a failed ideology it cannot and will not work, nor will it be accepted in the mainstream. if revolutionaries start a war, it will end, but they won't be the ones on top.
Tinzin Then you weren’t paying attention to your history lectures. “Fascism will come to America clothed in the flag carrying a cross.”
Modern fascists deny that they are fascist, both to themselves and the public. They call themselves “classical liberals,” “white nationalists,” and “national socialists.” They appeal to the working white man, because they give him someone to blame for his troubles. They will get the centrists one day too unless we stop them.
Sounds pretty fascist too me
Carl Grimes's Eyepatch id rather you not take the centrists either, i want them to stay right where they are. far leftist movements, marxism, communism, and socialism are just as toxic and disgusting as fascists. all these extreme ideologies are equally abhorrent for the simple reason that they reject the idea of natural unalienable rights and individualism. the fact that you believe classical liberals are fascists further cements my distain for radicals. i love freedom, i hate tyranny, and friend, tyranny is what you're suggesting we accept.

It is frightening and sad to see what power and influence the neo Stalinists have across the west. You'd think those people would be something to laugh at whenever they gather but they're running nations and even making EXPERIMENTS like globalization! It is AMAZING what is happening.

That's because Nazi Germany were violent like your antifa. lol
That is why people used violence against nazi Germany. To defend themselves and to defend those who were oppressed. So if anything it's your ANTIFA that we need to fight and punch and kick.
As for the Soviets, they were some of the most brutal, murderous and oppressive regime in history. I'd be ashamed of myself to sympathize with them.
Yeah uh Nazis came to power via the vote of the German people after the main candidate stepped down from office so
FriendlyCrooc Violence doesn’t solve anything. People who have nothing to hide -hide nothing. They talk in the video about having to hide for fear of being harassed (people finding out their address, being harassed at work or boss’ contacted) and/or terrorized by the other side and out of the other side of their mouth speak of how they harass and call peoples work etc. If you listen to this video you can hear the same verbiage from this group as you hear from neo-nazi, fear and power. They are exactly the same just on opposite spectrums - there is a happy middle ground here both have the right to speak their opinion but are both jaded in their own politics.
There is a lot of talking in the comments, but to be honest, i think its good that Vice lets both extremes talk, unfiltered. Something TV-news cant
Except for the fact that when they represent the alt right they bring up stuff that doesn't even exist and call us Nazis but when they talk about the fascist left they allow them to go around lying about the definition of fascism which is literally people who try and stop others from talking and spreading their points of view
I think what shocks me the most is that being against racism and ethnic cleansing makes you an extremist
@@sarahjeannexd no, being against racism and ethnic cleansing doesn't make you an extremist. But indiscriminately assaulting and terrorizing people definitely does.
@@sarahjeannexd I think maybe they say extremist because the bloc are probably one of the left most groups/loose organizations in the US, hence they are the extreme
@@sarahjeannexd maybe not extreme…just a bunch of crybabies.
Can you not see the irony of them being ‘anti fascist’ yet they try and silence the opposing point of view…which is exactly what fascism.

Why can't they google what facism is
John D why can't you?
Phoenix Chastaine because he’s right, using physical violence as a means to force your opposition to conform and hide it is exactly what fascism is defined as. I’m not talking about the government form of fascism, I’m talking about the political and social use of the word Fascism.
NO. It's not. 'It's a governmental system led by a dictator(trump would like to)
There are two definitions for Fascism, do your research before you try to argue with people! Fascism
[fash-iz-uh m] - a governmental system led by a dictator having complete power, "(forcibly suppressing opposition and criticism)", regimenting all industry, commerce, etc., and emphasizing an aggressive nationalism and often racism. Notice the part in parenthesis, that is what i was referring to in the former comment.
im a "commie" myself and i dont believe in any form of anarchy, but i do share some believings and i dont think they are that bad, except if you find an ignorant group of violent people.

@@shurikenf1462 They literally are. They are nazi facists. Thats the point. And yes I do believe facists should be afraid to express their opinion. Their ideology should not be acceptable. Freedom of speech refers to the governments restrictions on speech. Facists want the state to restrict us. Anarchists want the people to control what is acceptable to be said in modern society. The distinction is important.

They’re goal is to abolish all hierarchy.
They've increased polarization. That's an accomplishment as it sets the scene for the physical divisions and unrest to come. (Most of) Urban America is becoming increasingly leftist and liberal, meanwhile (most of) Rural America is becoming increasingly rightist and conservative. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
2020 should have been a red-flag, not the protests, but the riots that followed them had a far larger spread domestically (and internationally) than in '68 and '92, as the white population continues to decline and minorities make up a larger proportion of Americans. Whites themselves are posed to become a minority by 2045, and given their declining birth rates, this projection is quite likely.
Both, the far-left and far-right have become more popular thanks to their rapid spread online, and both appear to be calling their supporters to arms, but for now, only a minority have done so. Thankfully, at the moment, it's mostly just a bunch of foolish adolescents who have nothing better to do, and are just looking for a life purpose even if its petty violence. But once the new generation of political extremists in America matures and grows up, only to be more radical than the last, it's bound to get worse from there on-wards.
@@julianG1212 yes, they want to abolish hierarchy, because they are at the bottom.
They were tired of holding Signs and amounting toi nothing so they Still do the same thing with the addition of being violents
Yes this must work... because all great activists like Luther, Gandhi, Etc went around wearing masks punching people in the face and destroying public property!!!

DMMcGregor i'm Venezuelan and you are right. These idiots doesn't know what are they talking about, because they haven't live in it.
Anarcho-communism is a very different beast than Marxist-Leninism or any other form of state "communism." There are quite a few examples of anarcho-communist revolutions and none of them inspired mass murder. Sometimes the people who don't know anything think they know the most.
