Thank you for your insightful analysis of this division on the left. We have experienced this problem in our work here on the border. It's mind boggling when a lifelong activist who is incidentally lesbian (and those who stand with her) are told that they are "f-ing racist a--holes" and removed from activist organizations.
Thin ice here David. You have exposed the tactics but nominated a hard node to take on. As a chess player in the 'game' of politics (although I am fully aware that politics is more than a game) your defensive mode is the best strategy. Let the opponent fall victim to its own strategic flaws which you have exposed brilliantly. (ie: don't expose your queen). Take care comrade. PS. Have you thought of approaching the European branch of ANTIFA and getting them to lay off. Or at least presenting your position ?
Another thought - do a probe as to how ANTIFA views Palestine. If there is denial that the treatment of Palestinians is the effect of a crypto-fascist Israeli State - *there* exists the possibility of a Queen side counterattack.
Saludos comrade
Here in Australia the Greens are holding the government accountable for the housing crisis - although I guess Carmela has you well informed on this. All good here. We are looking forward to the spring harvest from Mari's garden.
I hear you, Warwick! It's very complicated. But in terms of your idea of contacting European Antifa, there's no such thing. Antifa isn't centralized like that, and within different European countries like Germany, there are very different tendencies/factions within what we might call Antifa. The group within this movement that's targeting me is a very specific and fringe one. But they're able to take advantage of the way social media works, and the way people are naturally scared of being attacked online by groups of vicious, ill-intentioned people, and do a lot of damage in the real world.
Of course what we need to be doing instead of dealing with this ridiculous shit is holding the government accountable for the housing crisis!!!
Just as an add on - it might be morale boosting to watch Walters of Pink Floyd in his rant about cancel culture of which he has also been a 'victim'. - the Zionists objected to Floyd's flying pig with various cult symbols (some of which were removed at request) at one of their concerts. Also a gross failure of comprehension at parodies of fascism. Check it out. If the *cancellistas* want to take on Walters they have a serious fight on their hands! As I said, be careful comrade. Choose your struggles (and your allies).

isn't it completely mind-boggling? and yet it's happening all over the country somehow or other.

Un Abrazo fuerte Warwick and Mari.

PS: I should have rephrased that as a 'counterattack'.
