No one claimed she was Antifa.
so ing what?
"antifa, blm, and one other group" are just as legit as you consider KKK, neo-Nazis, etc to be legit.
No one claimed she was Antifa.

I'm sure some wit on Brietbart or er Carlsons' website put that out there in an op-ed. Or someone just made up. I would be willing to give him his memory to a point. I'm sure he read something, but given how poorly sourced some of his news-feed tends to be, I would most definitely not give any credence to it being true (edit) until proven true.
Then there's even less reason to assume she showed up for the violence
Unfortunately, they also support a different totalitarian ideology: communism. Considering communism's own shameful history of repression and genocide, that shouldn't be swept under the rug and ignored.
I googled it too and the only thing that popped up with "Heather Heyer support Antifa" was a heavy.com article. It says it in the preview and once you open the article it doesn't mention it. I'm positive I read it in an article and not a comment section.
It really doesn't matter if she supported Antifa she still didn't deserve to die. I just want to find where I read it.
No one assumed she showed up for violence.
That's news to me
I don't support any of the groups you mentioned
So at best heavy.com found out it was bull at edited their article.
OK.
quite possible.
Well, that distracted from your being on the conspiracy bandwagon for awhile....
was this supposed to be blue font?
No.
Proof that antifa advocates for a communist form of government?
Ill stipulate that antifa is a ty movement/organization that uses violence far too often and is oversensitive (see school protests). But protesting milo,Coulter, etc isn't the same as advocating for communism
Did they choose the name and flag just to be edgy?
Maybe. When was the big antifa convention when they decided all these things?
Anti-fascist necessarily means communist?
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.afbe3abc47e4But what is antifa? Where did it come from? Militant anti-fascist or "antifa" (pronounced ANtifa) is a radical pan-leftist politics of social revolution applied to fighting the far right. Its adherents are predominantly communists, socialists and anarchists who reject turning to the police or the state to halt the advance of white supremacy. Instead they advocate popular opposition to fascism as we witnessed in Charlottesville.

They drew on the slogans and orientation of the prewar united front strategy, adopting the word "Antifa" from a last-ditch attempt to establish a cross-party alliance between Communist and Social Democratic workers in 1932. The alliance's iconic logo, devised by Association of Revolutionary Visual Artists members Max Keilson and Max Gebhard, has been since become one of the Left’s most well-known symbols... Pivotally, these circles were not spontaneous instances of solidarization between traumatized war survivors, but the product of Social Democratic Party (SPD) and Communist Party (KPD) veterans reactivating prewar networks.

The first German movement to call itself Antifaschistische Aktion was proclaimed by the German Communist Party (KPD) in their newspaper Rote Fahne in 1932 and held its first rally in Berlin on 10 July 1932, then capital of the Weimar Republic. During the early 1930s amidst rising tensions between Nazis and the communists, Berlin in particular was the site of regular and often very violent clashes between the two groups. In May 1932, the communist paramilitary organisation Rotfrontkämpferbund had been banned and, following a skirmish between Nazi and communist members in the parliament, the Antifaschistische Aktion was founded to ensure that the communists had still a militant wing to rival the paramilitary organisations of the Nazis. After the forced dissolution in the wake of the Machtergreifung in 1933, the movement was revived during the 1980s.[citation needed]

Mitt Romney is using this to angle for another run.
So antifa is the US in 2017 is exactly the same as the organization in Germany from the 1930's?
What steps has US antifa taken to promote communism?
Is there a noted antifa spokesman we can get to confirm all their political beliefs? Or a platform they've all agreed to?
Serious questions. I've seen neither but haven't really looked.
