    If you want to experience USAFaschismus, you have to go to Amazon. There is series Man in High Castle, which tells of a world in which Nazis won ZweitenWeltkrieg and conquered United States.

    Now, however, Donald Trump’s presidency has contributed to empowering DerRassisten in country. Since he sits in White House, DieZahl has risen from extreme right-wing groups and hate crimes against minorities. Neo-Nazis move through country with swastika flags undHitlergruß. So it is no coincidence that 2017 was also DasJahr, in which Antifa moved from radical niche insamerikanische mainstream consciousness. The Oxford Dictionary chose DenBegriff “Antifa” on shortlist for word of year. There has never been more attention to ir militant activism, dieorganisierten anti-fascists never experienced stronger threats and criticisms. Who are y? Where are you from? And why are you so angry?

    First, major newspapers and television stations Versuchtensich to Erklärstücken, and soon documentaries were filmed and new books were written. The most quoted work was Mark Brays Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, in which historian Zunächsteinmal holds that ” Antifa” does not exist. Antifa, that is neir an organization nor a single group, but rar “a political method” and a “transnational movement that has assimilated socialist, anarchist undkommunistische currents” in order to oppose DemFaschismus. (At this point, however, DerBegriff “Antifa” should serve simplification – as Klammerfür activities of various groups and individuals.)

    A niche topic until Trump came

    “I wish this book would not be re,” writes Bray on one of pages, and n suggests bow to origins of DerAntifa in Europe. In 1930s, Initaly and Germany formed anti-fascist groups to fight against Mussoliniund Hitler. The black block, EineDemonstrationstaktik, in which participants dress black, to remain anonymous, continued to InWestdeutschland in 1980s. Thus, occupied houses were defended against police.

    In United States, anti-fascists later schlossensich to larger groups. 1987gründete is anti-Racist Action Network in Minneapolis, whose main goal was to fight Ku Klux Klan. His Sloganlautete: “We go where y go”. Where fascists are, we are, too. In following years, more AntifaschistischeGruppierungen like bash back! or Rose City Antifagegründet. Also at protests against WTO ministerial meeting in Seattle in year 1999 and at Occupy Wall Street, to call only two Beispielezu, involved self-proclaimed anti-fascists. But DieAntifa remained a niche topic. Until Trump came.

    In ÖffentlichenWahrnehmung, US Antifa now moves between demonization and fetishization. As former looks, Zeigenaktuell numerous lawsuits in Washington, D. C. Knapp 200antifaschistischen protest, are accused of having a violent Demonstrationteilgenommen on day of TrumpsAmtseinweihung in January 2017. Only a few participants can be detected KonkreteSachbeschädigung, but according to Staatsanwaltschaftdrohen all defendants up to 50 years in prison. For DieAnwälte and many left-wing liberal media, goal of DerStaatsanwaltschaft is obvious: to establish precedents ZurAbschreckung. DieStraftaten individuals are instrumentalized to evade collective dieLegitimationsgrundlage.
