Not that you needed any more examples of how the people involved with Antifa aren't exactly Rhodes Scholars, but after reading some more about their beliefs on abortion, I honestly couldn't help but laugh.
If you didn't catch my friend and colleague Ward Clark's Wednesday evening piece on Antifa, an undercover investigation was performed at the Oakland and Seattle anarchist book fairs by TPUSA. These book fairs are often used as recruitment tools to drag people into the group.
There was a bit in there about their beliefs around abortion. Brace yourself, because the stupid is going to come at you hard and fast:
Frontlines reporter Jonathan Choe and independent journalist Karlyn Borysenko attended the Bay Area Anarchist Bookfair in Oakland last week, where they found materials promoting criminal activity. One pamphlet was titled “Training Martial Arts for Anti-Fascism” and included the Antifa logo.
Borysenko said these events are designed to recruit, radicalize, and indoctrinate the next generation of Antifa militants. Merchandise sold at the fair also raised money for an Antifa bail fund.
Workshops included a “DIY abortion” session where organizers claimed abortion access was under attack and showed a video on how to make homemade morning-after pills. Borysenko explained that Antifa views abortion as a “blow to capitalism.”
“Abortion is critical to far-left strategies because they believe it liberates women from being a part of the gender binary,” Borysenko said, adding that Antifa believes “The gender binary is one of the oppressive mechanisms of capitalism.”

Right off the bat, I find it amusing that the anarcho-communists are selling anything. People who hate capitalism engaging in capitalism to defeat capitalism is funny, but that's not the stupid part.
The part that had me chuckling was their comments on abortion being "critical to far-left strategies," specifically because it reinforces a gender binary and labels it an "oppressive mechanism of capitalism."
Pause and think about this for a moment.
These people are so brainwashed and lost in their ideological sauce that they see the circle of life, specifically the act of procreation — not as a natural part of the propagation of the human species and the natural course of humanity since our creation — but as a tool for a political system. They cannot separate their political obsession from something that is pure and simple nature.
The act of procreation is integral to pretty much every species on Earth, and we all do it in some capacity. We've been doing it long before capitalism was even a concept. We've been doing it since before even agriculture, writing, or the wheel was a concept. Before we discovered fire, we were procreating.
But even that's not the dumbest thing, in my opinion.
What strikes me is that they seem to associate entropy with liberation. If you follow their logic to its end, you'll see that they see the elimination of the human species, and women killing their own children, is, in their mind, the path to true freedom. At the very least, they see it as a surefire strategy to defeat capitalism.
This, as they practice capitalism themselves, both in an official capacity at the book fair and in their daily lives.
The bottom line is that they view civilization, its advancements, achievements, and heights reached, as evil. They enjoy modern comforts brought about by capitalism and denounce it all as evil. To them, it all has to go to achieve true "equality," not realizing that in both anarchy and communism, control is always established by those with the most access to strength and power.
This is why they're the poster children for "useful idiots."
What they believe in isn't achievable. The destruction of our system, the cessation of the human race, and the establishment of anarchy and communism (two wildly different and opposing concepts) are all pipe dreams. They're the idiots in the room that help bring about dictatorships and establish oligarchies, and then are the first ones lined up against a wall and shot because they served their purpose.
Antifa seems to see decay as moral, and that is, in my opinion, one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of. Never mind their hypocrisy, their position on murdering the unborn, all of which are disgusting in themselves, but it's that singular idea in their heads that full entropy brought to its ultimate end is a good thing that I find beyond ridiculous.
They aren't just anti-capitalist, they're anti-civilization. They see order as enslavement.
This is all, of course, play-acting. If you were to give them an island where they could have their own system of government, they'd be begging to come back to civilization as members of their community begin dying off due to starvation, lawlessness, and disease. Yet, here in the safety of established civilization, they can fantasize that they're trying to fight an evil system as it keeps them fed, healthy, and safe.
Antifa really is for the stupid and brainwashed.
