Anti-Fascist Action (
AFA) is a non-hierarchical, autonomous network of political groups whose goal is to
smash fascism and other forms of
oppression. The two-flags
Antifa logo is inspired by the original logo of the
Antifaschistische Aktion a militant
anti-fascist organization in
Germany that existed from 1932 to 1933. It remains a widely used symbol of militant anti-
fascism. The
black flag represents
anarchism and the red flags represent
communists, both united against
fascism.
Anti-Fascist Action was refounded in the UK in 1985 by a wide range of
anti-racist and
anti-fascist organizations. It was active in fighting far-right organizations, particularly the National Front and
… Read more British National Party. It was notable in significantly reducing
fascist street activity in Britain in the 1990s.
AFA had what they called a "twin-track" strategy: the physical confrontation of
fascists on the streets and ideological struggle against
fascism in working-class communities. Today, the
Anti-Fascist Action is a global movement with local sections in many
different countries.
