Yes, We are QC antifa

Antifa: An Idea, Not an Organization 

Antifa is not a centralized organization with membership cards, headquarters, or a formal hierarchy. It is an idea a shared commitment to opposing fascism in all its forms. To be antifascist simply means to reject systems that dehumanize people based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, or any other identity. 

This idea is not limited to the far left. Liberals, progressives, libertarians, and even conservatives who value democracy and equality can hold antifascist beliefs. The term “antifa” has been politicized, but at its core it reflects a basic moral stance: fascism is unacceptable, and resisting it is necessary. 

To be “anti‑antifascist” is, by definition, to be pro‑fascist. It means accepting or supporting the marginalization of people simply because of how they were born. That is not neutrality it is complicity. 

 

Why Antifascism Matters 

  • Egalitarianism: Antifascism insists that all people deserve equal rights and dignity. 

  • Community Defense: It is about protecting marginalized groups from violence and discrimination. 

  • Historical Responsibility: Fascism has led to some of the darkest chapters in human history. Antifascism is a refusal to let those patterns repeat. 

  • Broad Coalition: Antifascism is not owned by one ideology it is a principle that unites diverse people who believe in freedom and justice. 

 

The QC Antifa Perspective 

As QC Antifa, your protests and organizing are part of this broader tradition. You are not claiming to be a formal organization; you are embodying an idea. By standing for egalitarianism and against fascism, you are affirming that democracy, justice, and human dignity are worth defending. 

Antifascism is not radical, it is the baseline of a humane society.
