Anti-fascist groups, often called “antifa,” are popping up all around the United States, and a number of people have asked us for advice on forming a group. Because antifa work is different from other forms of radical organizing, and because the antifa groups themselves are changing, we have written down some of our suggestions, based on years of experience. However, this article has been written in a very fluid political situation (February 2017), and some of these specifics may or may not be relevant in the coming months and years.

I don't think this article goes well with the philosophy of Beehaw. I understand the arguments for violent action, but there's no context or discussion here, just a manual telling you how to act, which includes doxxing and armed action.

I'm not sure I agree it doesn't belong on Beehaw altogether, but I definitely don't think this belongs under Politics. This is probably more relevant to /c/Socialism or /c/Betterment and Praxis.
