    Antifa: The Stormtroopers of Global Capitalism

    This might seem initially counterintuitive but the argument present a good distinction between global and local capitalism and which side Antifa fights for.

    Antifa: The Stormtroopers of Global Capitalism

    ...Let’s begin by stating that global capitalism has nothing to do with healthy things which are also called “capitalist,” such as the entrepreneurial spirit and the flourishing of a multitude of small businesses. Globalism is undermining and ultimately destroying small businesses as it is undermining and ultimately destroying the power of small nations. One form of capitalism is at war with the other form of capitalism. It is, therefore, a mistake to conflate these two very different and ultimately antithetical economic systems.

    By way of illustration, let’s look at the way that global corporations and small businesses differ with respect to the power of government. Global corporations work well with big governments. They prefer big governments. The bigger the better. They have nurtured a relationship with China, the biggest national government in the world, and they have no problem with the fact that the Chinese government is communist, nor that it tyrannizes its own people, riding roughshod over any concept of civil liberty. Global capitalism and Chinese communism have become very comfortable bedfellows.

    ...So where do we find Antifa and groups of a similar ilk in the midst of this struggle?

    In countries, such as Hungary, which has sought to restore its national freedom and protect its borders, we find that global capitalists, such as George Soros, provide the funding for “anti-fascist” activists to make war on Hungary and its government. Closer to home, we find that Donald Trump is trying to break the boa-constrictor grip that globalism has on the American economy, imposing trade sanctions on China and its global corporate allies. In the absence of such sovereign nations, fighting for localism, we will have a world which is run by an unholy alliance of the G20, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the World Trade Organization, which will probably use the United Nations as its puppet World Government.

    ...in seeking to undermine Donald Trump’s presidency, the Marxists and anarchists of Antifa and other groups are doing the dirty work of the richest and most powerful people in the world. They might not know that this is what they are doing, in which case they are dupes. Make no mistake about it. Antifa are indeed the stormtroopers of global capitalism.

    In Case anyone missed this part:

    n countries, such as Hungary, which has sought to restore its national freedom and protect its borders, we find that global capitalists, such as George Soros, provide the funding for “anti-fascist” activists to make war on Hungary and its government.

    Closer to home, we find that Donald Trump is trying to break the boa-constrictor grip that globalism has on the American economy, imposing trade sanctions on China and its global corporate allies.

    In the absence of such sovereign nations, fighting for localism, we will have a world which is run by an unholy alliance of the G20, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the World Trade Organization, which will probably use the United Nations as its puppet World Government.

    It was a stroke of genius to name this fascist organization ANTIFA, Antifascist.

    Let's not forget the other point about the distinction between global and local capitalism.
