Rose City Antifa (RCA) was founded in Portland, Oregon in October of 2007. RCA was formed after a coalition of local people and organizations formed the 'Ad-Hoc Coalition Against Racism and Fascism' in order to shut down a neo-Nazi skinhead festival called Hammerfest. RCA continues the work of that Ad-Hoc Coalition and countless others who have worked to oppose racial prejudice, bigotry and fascism in our communities in Portland, Oregon, and the Pacific Northwest more broadly.
Rose City Antifa opposes fascist organizing through direct action, education, and through solidarity with leftist spaces, activists, and organizations.
Direct Action is any work that prevents fascist organizing, and when that is not possible, provides consequences to fascist organizers. This is supported by researching and tracking fascist organizations.
They have an FAQ section also. Well worth a read:

I do understand why you took it in totality the way you did. Perhaps WG will come along to clarify.

I took it in totality because HE said modern antifa is simply a front group for the communism

Yes, I already said I understood why you took it the way you did. The word "today" clouded the point.

These people are (or were, until recently) out in the streets actually fighting real neo-nazis

My dad got in during Korea. He was a B29 pilot. Then stayed in for 20 years. He was also sent to Vietnam

Thank you! GI's are not protesters! The US military is also not technically "anti-fascist".
