    I think they’re just saying names aren’t always accurate, given the North Korea -> democracy (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) and Nazi -> socialism (National Socialist) examples.

    Antifa is great but sweeping statements based only on a name like the one they’re responding to are definitely not accurate

      This assumes that antifa is an organization of some sort. If you think of antifa as an identity or aspiration the statement makes sense.

      Edit misspell

        Felsiq is right on the money - it’s a braindead argument regardless of how you feel about antifa.

        I don’t know why people itt keep saying that “it’s not an organization” somehow absolves it of any misdirection regarding its name.

        I suppose a more direct comparison is “if you’re anti-pro-life, you’re anti-life.”
