political activism | The Black Bloc: Inside America’s Hard Left
The left-leaning anti-fascist movement—or Antifa—has been around for decades, popping up in North America and Europe in response to rising white nationalist or fascist sentiments. Now, Antifa has made a resurgence in the US, where members clad in masks and nondescript black clothing physically confront groups of white supremacists and neo-Nazis who’ve started organizing in cities around the country.Since the 2016 presidential election, Antifa has become a staple at alt-right and Trump-related rallies that often result in violence. VICE met up with a few Antifa activists in Philadelphia who engage in “Black Bloc” actions to find out more about their ideology, tactics, and individual reasons for participating in a high-risk form of activism.00:00 Intro 03:00 “Street violence is the last resort for anti-fascists” 07:10 Police violence 10:20 When the Charlottesville rally turned deadlyWATCH NEXT: Inside America’s Largest Right Wing Militia –Click here to subscribe to VICE:Check out our full video catalog: Videos, daily editorial and more: More videos from the VICE network: Like VICE on Facebook: Follow VICE on Twitter: Read our Tumblr: Follow us on Instagram: Check out our Pinterest: Download VICE on iOS: Download VICE on Android:
