Kathmandu – Former U.S. President Donald Trump has labeled the anti-fascist group Antifa as a “terrorist” organization, continuing his firm stance against the movement.
In a recent social media post, Trump announced his decision to designate Antifa as a major threat, emphasizing that those who financially support the group should face investigations under the highest legal standards.
Antifa, known for opposing far-right ideologies like neo-Nazism and white supremacy, has its roots in anti-fascist movements dating back to the 1920s and 1930s in Europe.
The group often engages in protest activities, using tactics such as wearing masks and black clothing to hide their identities while opposing far-right rallies and conservative figures.
While critics argue that Antifa’s methods, which sometimes involve violent confrontation, are an overreaction, supporters view them as a necessary defense against rising fascist ideologies.
The ongoing debate surrounding Antifa continues to polarize opinions, with some seeing them as protectors of democracy, and others, including Trump, considering them a dangerous force.
