Over a period of several months Sean Matthews interviewed a representative from the anti-fa organisation in relation to their current activity in combatting the far-right, building support with migrant workers and lessons we can learn in Ireland both North and South plus lots more...... Anti-fa is committed to physically and idelogical opposition to fascism. The 'Antifa' initiative has come from members of the Anarchist Federation, Class War Federation, and No Platform. Although coming from the anarchist tradition, antifa are open to work with any group/individual that is serious about militant anti-fascism, but will NOT work with any state affiliated groups.

Is Antifa active in the South, or is it just AFA? Is there any difference?!

different group, same basic idea although I think AFA in Ireland is more politically diverse. As far as I know AFA aren't too busy (thankfully) but they publish the No Quarter Mag and have a website here. Actually you may be aware that they wrote about the Nazi summer camp that happened in Wicklow (or was it Wexford?) and was broken up by the cops last year.
