They survived the Great Depression of the 1930s and fought against the right-wing extremism of the Axis Powers… Hitler’s Third Reich, Mussolini’s Fascism, and the Empire of Japan.

The Allied Powers included the USA, British Commonwealth, Soviet Union and many other countries throughout the world!  The Allied Powers were the  ANTIFA (anti-facists) of the Greatest Generation!!

Yes, many things have changed.  The Soviet Union (now Russia) became an Oligarchical Dictatorship currently led by Putin. Under Trump, the US is becoming an Authoritarian Styled-Fascist Dictatorship.  

The core beliefs and behaviors of a fascist revolve around the supremacy of the nation or race OVER INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS. 

Trump signed an executive order declaring ANTIFA a terrorist organization.  ANTIFA IS NOT THE PROBLEM.  The right-wing extremism of the Trump and MAGA coalition  is the problem.

ANTIFA is actually A RESPONSE to the growing right-wing extremism. ANTIFA is not an organization.  It is a Movement.

The current administration is working diligently to eliminate individual rights and OUR democracy.   WE, collectively, MUST stop the destruction of OUR democracy.
