[5] [8] [9] The name antifa and the logo with two flags representing anarchism and communism are derived from the German antifa movement.

Anti-fascism is a political movement in opposition to fascist ideologies, groups and individuals. Beginning in European countries in the 1920s, it was at its most significant shortly before and during World War II, where the Axis powers were opposed by many countries forming the Allies of World War II and dozens of resistance movements worldwide.

To my mind Mark Bray is analogous to Charlie Gillett in this matter. The Sound of the City: The Rise of Rock and Roll, a seminal history of early rock music, was published in 1970; Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook is likewise an early seminal history. (It's just gone into its second printing, so I won't be getting my copy until late September.)
Mark Bray has in the past promoted the use of violence and has justified the use of illegal actions by antifa, which lead to Dartmouth University president Philip Hanlon distancing the univeristy from him and his book which was a big story around the time back in 2017.
