The Austin based extremist group, Red Guards Austin, has been gaining prominence in the Texas antifa movement. They are a self described autonomous Marxist-Leninist-Maoist collective and their website contains multiple reports on their confrontational and often armed demonstrations.
They also openly advocate for violent revolution against capitalism.
“we must seriously take up the task not only of self-defense on the personal and community level, but we must also struggle to unite all genuine antifascists behind the necessity of revolution. Revolution means the long fight for communism and nothing less.”
In a blog they recently shared from their Facebook Page titled “Everywhere a Battlefield“, this trend continues as they claim “The war is not coming—it is here and now” and then discuss the need for weapons training and more “revolutionary violence”.
"So what does self-defense mean for the rest of us? What does it mean for enemies of the state? It can only mean that we…

“The war is not coming—it is here and now. We must take our historic task seriously. We must accumulate forces and steel them in small-scale street battles. We must respond accordingly to the apocalyptic reality that capitalism-imperialism has forced on us.”
“So what does self-defense mean for the rest of us? What does it mean for enemies of the state? It can only mean that we must develop red physical culture. It means that we must contend for ground that has been ceded to the enemy. That we train in both hand-to-hand combat and in weapons. We must take community self-defense seriously. We must walk away from the comfort zone of the legal left, and by extension it means that those who protect them are sure to attack us. It means that we return to our filthy neighborhoods of cramped apartment complexes and organize right there among our class. It means that we choose the field of combat thoughtfully and not out of uninventive and timid habit. We cannot expect a mass antifascist movement to develop its necessarily revolutionary character unless we move away from the state-ordained protest zones.
“Reclaiming violence means making revolutionary violence available to be utilized by all types of comrades at all levels and all abilities. It means training physically in flexible ways applied to the specific conditions of specific groups. Everyone, regardless of ability, can improve. This is not to do away all at once with the division of violent labor; the science of revolutionary violence is universal, and it must at the same time be applied with great care to the specific. In this process of trial and error we sharpen and broaden our skillsets. Martial arts, firearms, and sports must be seen as cultural battlefields as well as invaluable tools in our revolutionary toolkit.”
For months, militant antifa groups have been engaging in targeted political violence. They claim they exist to fight racists, bigots, and white supremacists; and their allies in the media often echo these claims. But if the actions from the Red Guards Austin is any indication, this is nothing more than a public relations campaign to recruit moderates. Their end goal is communism, a political ideology responsible for tens of millions of deaths in the 20th century.

What a bunch of panzies.
By Dustin
You see panzies, I see armed soldiers, terrorists, capable of great harm if not dealt with.
By Jim B
True. But these nuts have never seen an actual battlefield, are trained with video games, and will pee their pants when faced by armed and trained killers.
By Robert
I hate to play the devils advocate here, but there are people in these groups that have combat experience and military training. That is all it takes to begin training more of these terrorist. If these people are truly committed to this idea, we all got a big problem on our hands. Although I agree that the mass majority at this point would flee when the bullets start flying, but there are those that would stand and fight and that would encourage more to come and join them. That is some scary shit folks.

Bwhahahaha they would shit if confronted, and these pictures are staged. These clowns do not walk around talking shit with airsoft .

I don’t see any of the folks you mentioned arming up. In fact, I see them laughing behind their backs, but Hitler’s brown shirts started as a small revolutionary, state sanctioned group, and grew quickly to become a major force for violence, and repression in NAZI Germany. We should be aware of this history, because there is no difference between NAZIism, and communism. IN fact, I refer to it as commuNAZIism. Furthermore, Islam is in the same mold, and follows the same path; the path to violence. If these little NAZI’s were to start some kind of war, I can assure you our police would be suddenly overwhelmed, and we should prepare. The Bible makes clear that no place will be safe from violence in the end times for Israel. For those who wish to know who Israel is, simply go to the website for the Living Church of God, or http://www.thetrumpet.com.

I totally agree. I am ready to defend as my oath to this country has and never will expire!

You know Hitler was fighting communism, right? The United Stated sided with the commies. We the United States fought on the wrong side.

They are right in in instance….the battleground is everywhere. I am armed everywhere I go.
I see a mask, my hand is on my gun…..I see a weapon being raised, I shoot to kill — man or woman.
By Dan OKelly
You “shoot to stop the threat”. Watch your words. You could be forced to eat them later.
By Benjamin Chambers
Sounds like something created by the FBI. Psy-op?
By Johnny
They look like a bunch kids cosplaying Fortnite.
By JWnTX
We’d do well to remember the Khmer Rouge we’re just a bunch of punk kids and managed to kill over 2 million of their countrymen. And the next Democrat in office could very well endorse and even fund them in the name of Anti-Fascism. Join your local Patriot III% group.
By Tom Martin
If your cause is just – then no mask, no hiding like violent idiot rioters you are.
Real people with real causes openly, armed only with the truth, marched dressed in their sunday best and faced the worse – like MLK

There only 21 of them in that pic i would only have to use 2 mag in my hand gun or one in the ar fuck around and find out III%ER ZONE 8
By Nathan
I believe in americans right to protest in such a violent way when they believe their rights and freedoms are being trampled upon. However, the moment they start trying to take my freedoms and rights, they can expect the same force against them, deadly even – if it comes down to self defence and the defence of others.
By Nick swo
I just want to know when and where and if they have magazines for those guns lol

Armed conflict against the United States is Treason. Where are the civil authorities to investigate, prosecute, and execute them?
By BruceHimself Generalminister
Unfortunately , many “civil authorities” know nothing more than implementing corpirate statutes and codes
By Joe
Haha! If you pussies think the new civil war already started, just go back home before your feelings get hurt..
By Mattityahoo
They have no idea who they’re up against.
By Thomas Ashenbrenner
“Red Guards Austin” is about as far away from Antifa as you can get.
To call this an antifa group is just wrong… “Red Guards Austin” IS a fascist group.
ANTIFA is not protected by copyright.
ANYONE can form a group and call it Antifa, including white nationalists who are trying to make any group called Antifa look bad.
And you don’t need to be of any particular group to write obscenities on a wall and sign it “antifa”
By Ed in NY
Who cares what they call themselves? Te foal is the same, overthrowing the US government. Either way, there are going to be a lot of dead misguided youngsters if this continues
By Starmond
Screw these guys. Never will lay down for Comunisum.
By Jay
All we need is the go that we can take them out with out prosecution, and we will stack their bodies like cord wood, they wouldn’t last an hour.
By Ed in NY
Didn’t Clinton settle Waco? Ruby Ridge? The President has clear precedent to take these people out.
By BruceHimself Generalminister
Wow, you are confused. Both of those ops were unlawful murder by FEDGUV. Neither were a threat to America
By Art
This article is full of shit. There it’s no such Facebook group check for yourselves. The quotes are made up by the author. The author also states the supposed group has committed “political violence” if that was the case that would be the news. What political violence? what act? I smell BS.
By Mike
Art, you seem to forget WHO runs the media these days… Just because it is not in the media does NOT mean it did not happen…
By Irish
The last time pantifa were confronted they got their arses kicked.
Life isn’t what is on a computer screen, people are really hurt and don’t respawn.
Bring it in you bunch of pullthrus.

Eventually, they will be absorbed and used by the eventual left-controlled U.S. government. With the continued urbanization, the left will eventually control all three branches of the fedgov and most state governments, since urbanites and suburbanites tend to vote left. They’ll then impose democratic dictatorship where the 60% majority will impose its favored form of tyranny upon the other 40%. By majority vote, they’ll outlaw any expression of disagreement with the left-wing majority.
They won’t need a violent revolution to seize power. Population density increase and continued urbanization will give it to them democratically – democratic dictatorship.
