The article is quite long, but these two give a brief idea of what is going on:
a) According to that article, what it seems they are about:
> Its manifesto describes the project in explicitly political terms. A/I is antifascist, anti-capitalist and antimilitarist. It promotes free software, encryption, pseudonymity and the independent circulation of knowledge and cultural work. It reserves its limited, volunteer-run resources for people and projects broadly compatible with those principles rather than businesses, political parties, organized religions or institutions already possessing the means to make themselves heard.
b) And the issue U.S. has with them:
> The United States alleges that A/I supplies specialized digital architecture, encrypted communications and hosting to antifascist groups and other radical movements, including organizations already designated by the United States.

- hexator 20d agoIs there any indication or proof that they are providing services to PKK? Equating supporting protest organizers in the west with supporting an armed terrorist group is laughable and dangerous.
- 32aGh 20d agoIf you search for "noblogs pkk" you find a handful, literally less than 10, of pro PKK links, all of which have been taken down. Could have been a false flag to discredit antifa. What happened to safe harbor?
- hexator 20d agoHaving "pro-PKK views" (or for other groups designated as terrorists for that matter) is not against the law in the US as that is a first amendment right (as long as that speech is not support).
- inigyou 19d agoThe first amendment only applies to US citizens and residents. The US is allowed to stifle the speech of anyone else.
- OKRainbowKid 20d agoSo anti-fascism ist deemed an extreme movement by the US government? What does that say about them?

- inigyou 20d agoAnti-fascist isn't a group, it's an adjective.
- mdp2021 20d agoDo review your logic. Now since "potential" is not a crime, list the acts that merit the label.

- kennywinker 20d agoYou are ok with 7 people getting life sentences because one person fired a gun in the middle of absolute chaos with no evidence the shot was premeditated or planned by the group? And surely those swastika carriers are getting similar sentences... right? Storm the capital to overthrow an election, get a pardon. Photocopy an anti-ice zine, get life in prison. Makes sense.

- Arainach 19d agoNot at all. The Republican party loves to throw both labels at anything it doesn't like, but most people who are against fascism are not communists.

- sapphicsnail 19d agoThe only people who say this are people who don't actually know anyone who is antifascist. Hell, most of the people I've met who strait up identify as antifa are probably closer to democratic socialist than communist and they tend to be pretty dweeby.

- catlifeonmars 19d agoDoesn’t that just mean against fascism?

- isodev 19d agoNo, it doesn't. That there are different words for it should be a hint it's different things.
