After my last post about antifa I decided to do some research on my own, since people were very upset at my ignorance. So now I have some info and new questions. The consensus from the last post was that antifa is actually fascist and is an arm of the government used to further subjugate us. After reading about it, it sounds more like an anarchistic movement. They seem to have communist and socialist ideals, which isnt necessarily a bad thing as those ideas started out innocent and got corrupted by money and power just like capitalism. People said that they are claiming to be anti fascist while committing fascist acts although I couldnt really find anything on that. What if it is a real movement, and therefore a threat to the government, and then the government poses as them to commit acts that discredits them. Anarchism is one of the biggest threats to our government so of course they would want to bring public hate to antifa. Are there any pro antifa people that can weigh in this time? Not one popped up last time to give an opinion

I am a former anarchist philosopher, and I have tried to address many of the fundamental flaws in the concept that leads it to be used as a tool by communists to create a new brutal totalitarian state. Firstly, the protection of property from ownership is merely the ownership of property by the state. Secondly, there will always be conflicts of will. How are these conflicts resolved, by might? There is this common fantasy of anarchists and commies that "the community" will come together to resolve these conflicts. "the community" is just the state all over again. Why don't we just get thee faster by renaming the police to "the people's police". And these nu-police always prioritize political thought-crimes over actual crimes.
So in your opinion, what would it take to have true anarchism?
It would take a common faith in a true architect that had objective goals of universal harmony of wills. A belief that the imposition of will with violence or the threat of violence was a fundamental violation of universal harmony. That one must first approach the negotiation of wills with humility and respect.
