Incredible.
Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.
Following history, fascism first came about and a named ideology in WW1, not WW2. Whole it brewed and came to a head in ww2, it was first really spearheaded by Italy in WW1 and the early 20th. Which then spread to Germany and was embraced.
Your average age of the original antifa is 98 years old - WW2 veterans
As far as I know, the first people to physically fight against fascism are WW2 veterans. Of course, antifa does not imply only physical fighting, but in context here of the US Govt labeling antifa a violent terrorist organization, it makes sense to bring up the first physical antifa fighters were fighting at the US Govt’s demand against fascism.

Okay, but this is my comment:

Technically the first person to beat the shit out of Gabriele D’Annunzio was the first person the physically fight fascism
Well, I did specify average age, but your comment was funny af
Special mention that person
Again, the original ones would be WW1 vets
WW1 wasn’t fought against fascism. Italy wasn’t fascist then either
From your own linked source above:
(For context, WW1 ended in 1918)
Although I’m sure many WW1 vets later became antifascists.
