My old foster son proclaims himself to be 'Antifa', he used to be a crack dealer on the DTES but he is bright and I got him to give up dealing and go to UBC where he took Philosophy, the part of him that was drawn to being in a gang and rolling on other gangs means now in his late 20's he is drawn to the romantic fantasy of fighting Proud Boys and manning the barricades of East Van, he is undoubtdly capable of violence and if riots broke out in Vancouver he would be down there breaking stuff up but he was doing that as a crack dealer long before he decided he was an anarcho syndicalist or what ever he claims to be this week, which will be wholly different from last week or next week
