Yes, it is. If you ask most people, it just in America, but worldwide, of they are ant fascist, they will likely say yes. Ask if they are antifa, they will likely say no. It’s not the same thing and words can be misused.
The only time “Antifa” doesn’t mean “anti-fascist” one-to-one is when a fascist is using it as a boogie-man. Anyone who doesn’t equate the two has fallen for their propaganda campaign
Yes, I agree. However, that is not because of the name, in and if itself. And the fact that the right has made the name a boogieman is relevant.
Which is why my point to the original poster was that just by virtue of calling themselves antifa does not make them anti fascist. Look at actions not words or propaganda, from either side of politics or from fascists or those opposed to fascism.
Don’t overthink it, anti-fascist is a stance. You don’t want fascism? You’re anti-fascist! Welcome to Antifa
