Antifa doesn’t have much of a presence in Australia, YET. They are in Europe and of course the US.
This is a two part feature part 1, HERE and part 2, HERE tells you all you need to know or have already suspected.
They are by any definition a well organised and well-funded domestic terrorist organisation and in this two part feature you’ll get an understanding of their history, their tactics, goals and objectives.
The cut and paste below gives you an insight.
“….Antifa’s stated long-term objective, both in America and abroad, is to establish a communist world order. In the United States, Antifa’s immediate aim is to bring about the demise of the Trump administration.

In the United States, Antifa’s immediate aim is to bring about the demise of the Trump administration.
