HUAC began as antifa, ironically. It was created by Rep. Samuel Dickstien (D NY) for the purpose of hunting for Nazi sympathizers.

They where actual Anti-Fascists, unlike the contemporary left, which employs similar tactics to Hitler and the Nazis.

Mainly, the committee got tangled up in trying to prove a conspiracy theory called The Business Plot which claimed that the industrialists were assembling a fascist army to overthrow FDR.

I believe such a plot was conspired in the minds of angry men, however, I do not believe Butler's account of the matter; wouldn't McArthur be the obvious pick after crushing anti-Capitalist protests?

In any case, after the fall of the USSR, it was learned that Rep. Samuel Dickstien had been a paid KGB asset the whole while.

Now that's rather ironic (and supports my theory of Communists infiltrating the government). I honestly wouldn't doubt it if McCarthy was being paid too — not by the Soviets, but rather by rich Capitalists.

Lol! No.

I mean the first part, yes. "antifa" is just bolshevic terrorism. It's how communism manifests itself before it takes over a state. So, yes, genocidal butchers and tyrants like Yagoda and Beria were the original antifa along with KGB-funded stooges like Dickstein.

Now that's rather ironic (and supports my theory of Communists infiltrating the government).

Cool story. Maybe someday you'll have a theory about the internal combustion engine so cars can be invented.

You have no idea how Centrism works.

You can be against both Fascism and Communism.

Communism can only exist as fascism.

At least we agree on horseshoe theory.
