You know the left’s playbook already. If you oppose their views or agenda, they call you a fascist or a bigot or some variant of either. It should come as no surprise that this isn’t because they actually believe it, and it’s not just some reflex of leftist automatons. It’s actually strategic, and a former Antifa member has blown the lid off the strategy.
When asked by GBNews if Antifa members literally say they're going to kill someone, or think it’s justified to attack people just for being labeled a “fascist,” the former member did not hesitate.
“Oh, a-absolutely. I, I, I mean, it, it's like whether it's people deserve to die, they have no human rights. It's like calling someone a Nazi or a fascist is a way to just dehumanize them. You can do whatever to them. You can assault them. It's funny to them. They laugh about it. They don't kill you because you're a fascist.”
The chilling part wasn’t just the admission—it's the mindset behind it. The ex-member continued, “They call you a fascist so they can kill you. You know, it's just a way to dehumanize people, um, and threaten them. Originally, they were trying to bully and threaten, like, what they would consider right-wing extremists, like Proud Boys or what, like, Christian Nationalists, you know, that show up to protests or events. They're bullying them.”
But the game changed. The words stopped being about bullying and became more about moralizing. If you call someone a fascist, you have the moral obligation to do them harm.

“That's not the target anymore. Now the target is anyone that doesn't agree with them,” the former Antifa member said. The message was clear: disagreeing with the mob is enough to put a target on your back.
But it gets even more disturbing than that. The ex-member recounted that Antifa’s base has begun to obsess over violence, and it isn’t just talk. “Socially, when I, you know, I'm not at a meeting, I'm just hanging out with people that I know, you know, more and more they, they talk about acts of violence, they talk about guns or going to gun ranges, and it- the scares me.”
When the interviewer asked why they were arming up, the former Antifa activist didn’t mince words. “They feel as though they're under threat. ‘Well, you know, we're gonna be genocided or put in prison,’ or, ‘Nazis have taken over America, and so we have to act now to stop it.’”
That kind of rhetoric gets repeated so often inside their circles that it becomes a closed loop, a story they tell until it hardens into conviction. They’ve talked themselves into believing they face an existential crisis, and that belief fuels a sense of moral duty to lash out. This is what self-radicalization looks like, and it’s happening in plain sight. Antifa has devolved from targeting “extremists” to anyone who steps out of line. In practice, being accused of fascism was never about any real ideology; it was about giving the green light for violence. The shock factor isn’t just in the admissions; it’s in the casual attitude. “It's funny to them. They laugh about it.”

“They don’t kill you because you’re a fascist. They call you a fascist so they can kill you... How is this different than a group like ISIS?"

Antifa’s obsession with enforcing ideological conformity has produced a movement that widens its list of enemies with every new grievance. The results have been noticeable: political violence from the left continues to intensify, and isn’t limited to Antifa alone. The attempted assassination of Donald Trump, the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the surge in trans mass shooters, and the anti-ICE attacks show how far this mindset has spread. The radical left has convinced itself that killing political opponents is a moral act, and the consequences are impossible to ignore.
