Trump’s Antifa ban is dangerous nonsense
US President Donald Trump prohibits “the Antifa” as “Terroristic organization”. He now has a free hand to stamp critics arbitrarily as terrorists.
It was a step that was not surprising: US President Donald Trump officially classified the left Antifa movement as a “terrorist organization”. According to the White House, he signed a corresponding decree on Monday. The problem: Trump’s step is not only nonsensical, he is also a threat to his critics.
Because one thing does not seem to understand conservative on this side and beyond the Atlantic: Antifa is not an organization like a bowling club. There are no chairpersons, no hierarchy, no membership. The wide term Antifa stands for “anti -fascist”. According to an investigation of the research service of the US Congress from 2020, the Antifa No managers in the United States and no organizational structure at the national level. Rather, it consists of “independent, radical, equally minded groups and individuals”.
US President wanted to Donald Trump the Antifa classify as a terrorist organization. The then FBI boss Christopher Wray had held against the Antifa Be “a movement or an ideology” and not a group. But how do you want to ban ideas or a attitude?
Nevertheless, Trump’s assessment of Antifa as a “militaristic, anarchist” organization, “which expressly calls for the fall of the United States, is dangerous”. The Antifa Use “sophisticated means and mechanisms” to protect the identity of their members. With the same methods, she hides her sources of financing and recruit new members, according to the President’s decree. This is all so vague that basically every critical voice can be attributed to “the Antifa” and can be charged accordingly.
Donald Trump and the Antifa
Trump has already brought the judiciary to line with the occupation of the Supreme Court. He constantly titles the US Democrats as a “radical left”. Unlike media like the “New York Times” are faced with lawsuits, critical TV channels threatens Trump with license withdrawal. Masked the US immigration and customs authority ICE arbitrarily arrest people on the open street. In the future, Trump can be a member of the “Terrorist organization “Antifa Brandmarken. And how should someone prove not to belong to an organization that is not even available as such? The arbitrariness is open door. It is a very dark way to which Trump leads the USA.
