antifa
"Antifa" ("anti fascist") is a collective of loose but organized and often affiliated cells that claim to "stand against fascism in all forms." Many sources trace this back to its proliferation as a label for paramilitary groups during the 1900s, most notably within communist parties including the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) during the Weimar Republic, which employed the Rotfrontkämpferbund, known for combatting both right-wing paramilitaries and—after the Comintern's "Third Period" Doctrine—leftists, especially Social Democrats whom the Comintern labeled "social fascists."
Today, Antifa cells have been vocal in defense of progressive ideologies such as transgenderism & queer ideology, Pro-Palestine agenda, pro-Islamism, anti-ICE operations, anti-Zionism, anti-colonialism, and anti-US sentiment. Antifa also has extensive propagandist networks, observable on the internet and in the articles of bleeding-heart journalists in publications who often run PR for them.
In most physical demonstrations, Antifa are known for their "black bloc" tactics, where they wear black hoodies and accessories, which all work all too poorly to hide an outstanding obese, physically unfit, or medically disabled revolutionary population. Online, they have been mocked for their websites which have been infiltrated and struck by DDoS attacks, and for being the unwilling subjects of many memes about how they call "everyone they don't like 'fascists'."
