Evidence cited includes thousands of hours of video recordings, intelligence gathered through infiltration of protest zones, and documented cases of Antifa-linked violence in Washington D.C., Portland, Seattle, and other cities.
The movement’s historical foundation comes from Bolshevik and Comintern activity in the 1930s. Antifa began as an international communist tool to destabilize governments, with direct involvement in the Spanish Civil War and the collapse of the Weimar Republic.
The designation signals intent to treat Antifa not as an idea or loose movement, but as an organized network with identifiable structures, funding sources, and operational methods subject to counter-terrorism action.
2. Methods, Structure, and International Links of Antifa
Antifa maintains a decentralized network supported by legal nonprofits and advocacy organizations that provide bail money, legal defense, and financial support for members arrested during violent demonstrations.
Active domestic groups include Rose City Antifa in Portland, Anti-Fascist Action groups in Seattle, Chicago, and Utah, as well as John Brown Gun Club and Socialist Rifle Alliance, which conduct weapons training and paramilitary exercises.
Antifa symbols and propaganda include the communist anthem Bella Ciao and repeated references to the Spanish Civil War. These cultural markers serve as tools to radicalize recruits and reinforce ideological loyalty.
International links include militants traveling to Rojava and Kurdistan to receive advanced training in weapons, explosives, and urban combat tactics. Returning members imported these methods into American street actions, including the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone in Seattle.
The U.S. Senate unanimously declared October 14th, Charlie Kirk’s birthday, as the National Day of Remembrance. This formal recognition establishes a yearly observance tied to the movement’s legacy.
Discussions are underway for the Presidential Medal of Freedom to be awarded posthumously to Charlie Kirk, placing him alongside figures recognized as defenders of national principles.
Turning Point USA has launched an aggressive expansion effort, including rapid growth in chapter requests across U.S. high schools and colleges, and the development of international branches in Europe and Asia, ensuring the mission outlives its founder.

On today's episode of Human Events Daily, President Trump has made an important announcement with an executive order forthcoming. Antifa is to be designated as a domestic terrorist organization. Now the same ridiculous voices on the left are running around telling you there's no such thing as Antifa.
