ANTIFA:
Nothing new.
Communists dressed up as Liberals.
Roots of KPD (Kommunist Party of Deutchland):
The Communist Party of Germany (KPD) on one side, the Nazi Party on another, and a coalition of governing parties, mainly social democrats and LIBERALS , on the other side.
the KPD under Thälmann's leadership reacted to the establishment of the Harzburg Front and the Iron Front with a call for their own "Unity Front", which they shortly after renamed the Antifaschistische Aktion.[18]
The KPD formally announced the establishment of the Antifaschistische Aktion in the party's newspaper Die Rote Fahne (The Red Flag) on 26 May 1932.[29] The new organisation was based on the principle of a Communist front, but it remained an integral part of the KPD.[30][31] The KPD described Antifaschistische Aktion as a "red united front under the leadership of the only anti-fascist party, the KPD".[1] According to Langer the Antifaschistische Aktion was largely a counter-move to the social democrats' Iron Front.[18]
Antifaschistische Aktion Is now ANTIFA.
Same philosophy "new Branding".
--
