Welcome! This is a direct action sub, meaning we actively seek to achieve our goals using ChapoChat. This is not a sound board to debate antifa, this is a place to disseminate information and help organize outliers. Trolls, concern trolls and those of similar intent will be swiftly banned. This is enforced solely to prevent undermining the intention of this sub. If you believe you have been banned unfairly, you can appeal.

Antifascism/ Anti-fascism, shortened to Antifa, is opposition to fascist ideologies and similar entities and policies. Antifascism began in Italy in the 1920s in opposition to the rise of Benito Mussolini, and quickly spread across Europe and then the world. For those that have difficulty in identifying what fascism is, please refer to Mussolini’s own book on The Doctrine of Fascism. There are also tenets of fascism, which are loosely outlined here if you don’t want to read the book.

Lately, in reaction to the rise of nationalism around the globe, Antifa has made a resurgence. Anyone other than fascists and apologists are welcome here, but please read the rules.

RULES

1. No reactionary talking points and no fascist apologists

No reactionary talking points and no fascist apologists. This is a subreddit intended for discussion within the antifa movement, not for debating the merits of antifa. Debate and dissent is allowed, but if you just regurgitate the same uncritical anti-antifa talking points we hear daily, you will be considered spam and get banned.

2. Harassment

Harassment and bullying are NOT tolerated. This includes insults and personal attacks. We aren’t here for name calling, grow up. If you cant have a conversation without name calling, don’t comment.

3. Trolling

No concern trolls, false narratives, or “you’re the fascists” claims. It’s not hard for the mods to tell who is genuine and who is not. You will be muted or banned.

4. Burden of proof

No burden of proof claims. Don’t come in here and make claims and tell people to look it up. You provide the argument, you provide the evidence.

5. False Narratives, “but both sides”

No fake news or false information, and the “both sides” argument. This includes the “False Narrative”, hoax sites such as Breitbart, neo-Nazi and fundamentalist sites such as Smoloko, satire sites like the Onion, or sensationalist ones like BuzzFeed.

6. Off topic content

No unintelligent, NSFW, or off-topic content.

7. No Doxing

It is against the rules of [email protected] and ChapoChat to post someone’s personal information or post links to personal information. This includes links to public Facebook pages with the names still legible. When posting screenshots, be sure to edit out any personally identifiable information.

8. No Leftist Infighting

You may disagree with a fellow leftist’s ideology, but do so respectfully. We enforce leftist unity here because we believe the fascists are the only enemy we should be fighting.

9. No brigading

Comment or downvote attacks from other communities are a violation of site rules, & will be reported as such. We will permanently ban Chapos suspected of participating in them.

10. No inciting violence

Do not post content that encourages, incites, or calls for violence or physical harm.
