    My wife was born considerably before Perestroika. She waited in lines to get toiletries and other necessities. She has an old "CCCP" passport. She had to join the "Young Pioneers". Her mother worked for the Party. You're saying that wasn't Communism?

    But according to the FBI and local law enforcement groups around the nation, it is rightwing violence that has the greater occurrence.

    If there were property owning elites controlling distribution of resources, then no, it wasn't communism.

    I'm sure she'll be delighted to hear your interpretation. Numerous websites will disagree with your analysis regarding the fall of Communism in Russia.

    This is just semantics. Whether ANTIFA has a building headquarters or is a bunch of cells as the director claims is irrelevant. It is possible to denounce it and the violence associated with it.

  9. FACT CHECK: Is Left-Wing Violence Rising?



    "...their numbers are tiny in relation to the mainstream political left. And, say experts, it's misleading for right-wing groups to suggest that the Antifa are more violent than right-wing extremists...

    ...In the past 10 years when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders..."
