State Dept Labels Four Antifa-Linked Cells As Foreign Terrorist Organizations As Fight Against Radical Left Goes Global
The Trump administration expanded its crackdown on far-left violent extremist networks Thursday, as the State Department designated four far-left militant groups as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) and announced plans to formally add them to the Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list next Thursday.
The four radical left groups include:
Antifa Ost
Antifa Ost (also known as Antifa East and Hammerbande) is a Germany-based militant group. Antifa Ost conducted numerous attacks against individuals it perceives as "fascists" or part of the "right-wing scene" in Germany between 2018 and 2023 and is accused of having conducted a series of attacks in Budapest in mid-February 2023.
On September 26, 2025, Hungary declared Antifa Ost to be a terrorist organization and added the group to its national anti-terrorism list.
Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front (FAI/FRI)
FAI/FRI is a militant anarchist group that primarily operates in Italy with historical self-proclaimed affiliates across Europe, South America, and Asia. FAI/FRI declares the necessity of the revolutionary armed struggle against nation states and "The Fortress Europe."
Since 2003, FAI/FRI has claimed responsibility for threats of violence, bombs, and letter bombs against political and economic institutions, including a courthouse and other "capitalist institutions."
Armed Proletarian Justice
Armed Proletarian Justice is a Greek anarchist and "anti-capitalist" group that has attempted and conducted improvised explosive device (IED) attacks against Greek government targets.
Armed Proletarian Justice claimed responsibility for planting a bomb near the Greek riot police headquarters in Goudi, Greece on December 18, 2023.
Revolutionary Class Self-Defense
Revolutionary Class Self-Defense is a Greek anarchist and "anti-capitalist" group. The group links its actions to broader political and social issues and cites opposition to "capitalist structures," "state repression," and solidarity with Palestine.
Revolutionary Class Self-Defense claimed responsibility for two IED attacks targeting the Greece Ministry of Labor (February 3, 2024) and the Hellenic Train offices (April 11, 2025).
