Add to SetSummary
Antifa is a political movement comprised of anti-fascist, anti-racist, leftist activists. Anti-fascist movements mobilized in the 1920s to oppose Benito Mussolini. The contemporary antifa movement is closely related to the 1970s-80s punk scene, which sought to limit the infiltration of white power groups. This patch is based on a 1932 antifa recruitment poster by Max Gebhard and Max Keilson.
