I think their members hearts are in the right place as wanting to fight fascism/racism/homophobia etc is a noble thing, but I think their methods which often include trying to shut down free speech and expression in an often aggressive manor can have a negative effect.
Take the short vid below as an example. I think the thing to do with the likes of Rees Mogg is to question him, to expose him as just another right-wing Tory only looking out for the rich, which I think he clearly is.
But these Antifa people just come across as thugs in the video, shouting out 'fascist', 'racist', and it appears 'Nazi'; not allowing Rees Mogg to speak..
IMO, many people who see this behaviour would be against it, and it is so easy for the Tories and their media wing to use it against the left.
Freedom of speech and expression should be enjoyed by all once not breaking any laws, whether you agree with the message or not.
What do you think?
