'''Antifa''' (short for '''Anti-Fascist Action''') are a loosely-organized far-left movement predominantly made up of radical socialists, anarchists, and communists, whose stated goal is the suppression of [[fascism]], [[Neo-Nazism]], [[White supremacy|white supremacy]] and other far-right ideologies in North America and Europe through the use of violence and physical/vocal harassment. Despite the undoubtably noble opposition of fascism, Antifa expresses many [[Americophobia|anti-American]], [[Xenophobia|xenophobic]] and ~~communistic~~ opinions as well as scapegoating, doxxing, and harassment. The group gained wider recognition during the protests against [[Donald Trump]], in which Antifa members present were [[Vandalism|vandalizing]], fighting, and causing property damage. Antifa has received criticism from the American and worldwide population on both sides of the political spectrum for their use of violent crimes to achieve ends.
