Antifa’s Bravest Enemy

Journalist Andy Ngo has written a book on Antifa, the left-wing extremists known for rioting and attacks on nationalists and conservatives including Mr. Ngo.
Antifa originated in Germany in 1932 under the name
Antifaschistische Aktion (Antifascist Action), and used a two-flags logo very similar to the one it still uses today. Founded by members of the German Communist Party and other leftist groups, it fought both the National Socialists and the Social Democrats, the largest left-leaning party at the time. Like today’s version, its concept of “fascism” was broad; it sometimes called Social Democrats “social fascists.”
