A small correction that I also implied certain Marxists can also be antifa.

Just not the ones running authoritarian, heirarchy driven states.

Also you could certainly argue that the conscripts themselves are still antifa or otherwise on their individual merits, but that breaks nationalist brains.

Yeah I misspoke when I said no state, but I wasn't gonna put it in my reply to them because... Well you see how hard it is to get tankies to focus on a single line of thought.

It's really funny you say that because I've made that exact point before regarding US conscripts in WWII (on an alt, admittedly).

States in general aren't "antifa" and I never claimed any were, all I've really done is push back against your misinformation and glorification of actual, self-identified nationalist Chiang Kai-Shek.
