Office of the Spokesperson

November 13, 202

Today, the Department of State announces the designation of Antifa Ost, Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front, Armed Proletarian Justice, and Revolutionary Class Self-Defense as Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) and the intent to designate all four groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), effective November 20, 2025.

Antifa Ost

• Antifa Ost (also known as Antifa East and Hammerbande) is a Germany-based militant group. Antifa Ost conducted numerous attacks against individuals it perceives as “fascists” or part of the “right-wing scene” in Germany between 2018 and 2023 and is accused of having conducted a series of attacks in Budapest in mid-February 2023.
• On September 26, 2025, Hungary declared Antifa Ost to be a terrorist organization and added the group to its national anti-terrorism list.

Informal Anarchist Federation/International Revolutionary Front (FAI/FRI)

• FAI/FRI is a militant anarchist group that primarily operates in Italy with historical self-proclaimed affiliates across Europe, South America, and Asia. FAI/FRI declares the necessity of the revolutionary armed struggle against nation states and “The Fortress Europe.”
• Since 2003, FAI/FRI has claimed responsibility for threats of violence, bombs, and letter bombs against political and economic institutions, including a courthouse and other “capitalist institutions.”

Armed Proletarian Justice

• Armed Proletarian Justice is a Greek anarchist and “anti-capitalist” group that has attempted and conducted improvised explosive device (IED) attacks against Greek government targets.
• Armed Proletarian Justice claimed responsibility for planting a bomb near the Greek riot police headquarters in Goudi, Greece on December 18, 2023.

Revolutionary Class Self-Defense

• Revolutionary Class Self-Defense is a Greek anarchist and “anti-capitalist” group. The group links its actions to broader political and social issues and cites opposition to “capitalist structures,” “state repression,” and solidarity with Palestine.
• Revolutionary Class Self-Defense claimed responsibility for two IED attacks targeting the Greece Ministry of Labor (February 3, 2024) and the Hellenic Train offices (April 11, 2025).

Terrorist designations expose and isolate entities and individuals, denying them access to the U.S. financial system and resources they need to carry out attacks. All property and property interests of designated individuals or groups that are in the United States or that are in possession or control of a U.S. person are blocked. U.S. persons are generally prohibited from conducting business with sanctioned persons. It is also a crime to knowingly provide material support or resources to those designated, or to attempt or conspire to do so. Persons that engage in certain transactions or activities with those designated today may expose themselves to sanctions risk.  Notably, engaging in certain transactions with them entails risk of secondary sanctions pursuant to counterterrorism authorities.

Today’s actions are taken pursuant to section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act and Executive Order 13224.  FTO designations go into effect upon publication in the Federal Register.
Petitioners requesting removal of those designated from the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List should refer to the Department of State’s Delisting Guidance page.

The feds never cared about antifa assaulting and killing people until they started going after Israel and hurting Jews feelings.

Antifa Ost (also known as Antifa East and Hammerbande

This is the group of retards who ran around acid attacking bald people in Germany because they thought they were skinheads. Took them long enough.

Trump has been talking about Antifa since 2016, classifying them as terrorists as always been one of his goals.

He was the president for 4 years. He did nothing. When they were burning shit down in 2020 he did nothing. When Rose City Antifoids were flying to the Middle East to train with the PKK the feds did nothing.

This still is really nothing, btw. All it will do is make it so the more militant antifoids and their buddies can't travel around as freely as they once did.

 

[deleuzeon]

Good, but it's just another nominative move. I want people in prison, life ruined; or (even better) dead in pre-dawn SWAT raids where they drunkenly reach for the gun. I don't expect to get what I want.

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Antifa Ost? What about Antifa Westen?

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Pretty sure repeated political assassinations are the bigger reasons. The extreme left in the west being anti Israel was a thing for decades by now.

Never forgot our cities burned and red state governors and the president said there was nothing they could do but the minute college students started protesting Israel they cracked down with the full force of the national guard

Niggers are sacred, mystery meat college students aren’t. (Yet)

To be fair most normies were not there and even a good chunk of normies are starting to realize the bullshit propaganda thst antifa is just an idea or good guys is starting to wake up a bit. Still its an uphill battle most people especially millenials have been raised on fascism bad, we need to fight the good fight and etc...

Good, but it's just another nominative move. I want people in prison, life ruined; or (even better) dead in pre-dawn SWAT raids where they drunkenly reach for the gun. I don't expect to get what I want.

Don't make them martyrs dead in swat raids doesn't work. They should be jailed and humilated publicly.

Not even the leftists I know - and I know some pretty hardcore leftists - support antifa any more. The only people willing to associate with them any more are below average college students who don't know better than to ignore the brainwashing.

In 2020, every leftist I knew was 100% in on antifa because they all fell for the Anti Bad Guy Squad marketing.

 

[ChampFantana]

They should be jailed and humilated publicly

They should be put through swift kangaroo trials and immediately executed on live TV once the sentence is pronounced.

You understand why the commies and the anarchists were burning the cities down, don't you? The organizers among them, I mean.

"Your enemy's reaction is your goal." This sentiment from Rules for Radicals explains a large amount of leftoid "activist" behavior. And the leftist religious belief that Trump is stupid led them to believe he would pounce immediately on their rioting, allowing the shitlib media (read: almost all of it) to selectively edit and disseminate video that framed him as an authoritarian fascist.

Trump didn't handle the start of COVID well, but he did exactly what he should have done about violent leftists in 2020: nothing unless the law said he had to (feds protecting federal buildings, for example). The result was a surplus of leaked (because the "news" wouldn't air it) video showing violent, destructive leftists getting away with violence in blue states where Democrat governors, mayors, and prosecutors covered for them.

Yes, everyone wants to watch these people be crushed. That's one of many good reasons why so many people were supportive of Rittenhouse. But Trump didn't take the bait, and it was a good thing. You don't like Antifags destroying your state? Don't let your politicians run interference for them.

“When you enemies burn down your cities you win”

It's more like, "when you let leftists destroy Democrat cities, they're hurting themselves, so why interrupt?"

How did it hurt them exactly, when dem cities go under their residents move to the suburbs and rural areas and vote for the same shit

Never forget that retards seal clapped as the Trump administration codified hate speech laws and deported people for protesting a foreign (parasitic) country because it "owned the libs".

After Covid and what the FBI did to censor anyone who wasn't guzzling vaccines? Free speech was already dead. These laws are going to be used against us once the democrats take over regardless.
