How about being antifascist without calling such a group "Antifa"? That word already has decades of history, and many different connotations depending on a particular context and time period.

More importantly for this thread, trying to make a group and then calling it Antifa just gives the magats what they've wanted for years now. (Imagine some civil servants stepping up and claiming to be the Deep State -- rethugs would be thrilled.) they would love a group to blame, especially for January 6th.

Indeed, messages went around in some radical channels telling anti fascist folks to not show up in DC. A lack of anti-insurrectionists likely helped undermine Trump's wish for an excuse to declare martial law.

It also places anyone in that group immediately into a domestic terrorist category, that comes with extremely harsh penalties in some states. Just Google "Cop City" in Georgia, for an example of just how laws can be twisted against peaceful protesters whom the state labels domestic terrorists. Even the people who simply contributed to bail funds are being charged as if they had sent gun money to Isis.

(As a side note, you do remember that everything posted on this board is public and comes up on a Google search, right? Does this give no one else pause?)
