4/5/2017 IRISH PREMIERE OF "THE ANTIFASCISTS" introduced by former revolutionary front from sweden.Read NowBelfast Anti-Fascists are delighted to announce that on Saturday the 15th April we will be joined by several ex members of the Swedish millitant Anti-Fascist group the "Revolutionary Front" and together with them we have organised a showing of their new film "The Antifascists" (Trailer in discussion). The night will include the showing of the film, a question and answer session with our Swedish comrades and music afterwards. The night will also be a "bring your own" night as alcohol is permitted in the building provided it's not in a glass bottle.
This will be a ticketed event and this WILL SELL OUT! Tickets are priced at £5 and anyone interested in tickets should mail the Belfast Antifa page. Doors 6pm Film begins 7pm. We look forward to seeing you all there! 161 Since we announced the showing of the film "The Antifascists" in Belfast on Saturday the 15th of April, we have had a brilliant reception through both the event page, the Facebook page itself and our individual members have also been contacted regarding the evening. However, one Nazi organisation continues to attack Belfast Antifa on Social media and also in their blog with lie after lie making up stories of just about anything to try and tarnish our organisation and damage our support base. These include claims such as having convicted paedophiles within our organisation, having strong links to the INLA, that our Antifa evening is connected to completely separate protests happening in the city centre the previous day among countless other farcical and ludicrous claims.
They also published a statement about our Swedish comrades and their now defunct organisation, the Revolutionary Front; branding it as a "terror group" and publishing names of people from Sweden that they thought were once members of RF but in fact never had anything to do with the organisation. In response to their article the ex members of RF posted this: "Hi Northern Ireland Demands The Right, we are the guys you talk about so much! We are actually quite happy that you put focus on us, especially since we put down our organization in September 2015. We have read your blog and are pretty amazed; you and your Swedish sources are really good in your research. Here are some facts you should know: The Research Group is a network of freelance journalists, created in 2009 (RF was born 2002). This network focuses on research about fascists in Sweden and work close with the foundation Expo.se. Expo mostly works with government, media and the Swedish Security Service. They won a very nice prize for their research about who is behind Swedish racist sites, just like yours! The names you found… Well, let’s say like this – nobody on that list has ever been a member of the Revolutionary Front. Use Google and type the name of the guy you branded "Operations Leader AFA" for example, Robert Aschberg – 65 years old and a famous journalist and TV reporter. Come on, you can do better than that, right? There is so much “fake news” in your blog that it’s not even worth commenting on, but one thing you got right – We were specialists in targeting fascist scum like you on the streets, in bars and in your homes. Anytime, anywhere! By the way, it is good movie in the end – You should come to the event on the 15th to watch the movie, we think you might enjoy it (it contains knifes, we are a bit stabby you know). Yours sincerely, The ghosts of 18:6" We also would once again like to encourage Ulster Awake to publish who exactly their source is (they don't have one) and make it clear that while they are very active behind keyboards they are yet to demonstrate any feasible cause for concern for Anti-Fascists. They fall under the same category as the 30 strong Protestant Coalition's "anti-refugee protest", The UDL's invisible clan of white warriors and the "shankill road waffen SS" (4 masked Nazis at city hall). On a final note we would like to express our concern at noticing a member of Belfast City Council "Liking & Sharing" Far-Right material on Facebook. Namely, Cllr. Jolene Bunting. Fascism never has had any place in our society & never will. 161 Fantastic turnout today by all Antifascists from all over Belfast and Derry in representation of citizens of this island in opposition of the regressive and fascist ideology of the Ulster Defence League and their associated counterparts in the 'flegster' element. Despite the apparent fear and abscence of the UDL who in fact called for a protest in the firstplace, Antifascists sought to take action and demonstrate even the very fact that a hateful islamophobic protest was even dared to be called.
28/3/2017 Stand against xenophobia. We must unite this saturday at 12 oclock writers square.Read NowFascism isnt just on the surge around the globe, it is in our own backyard but if and when we unite, they will not have a platform. We urge all antifascists to bring banners, posters, antifascist/left wing affiliated flags. We would also appreciate dark clothing if possible as every other antifascist group throughout Europe and the world do the same, forming a black bloc creating a sense of structure and making it difficult to distinguish. The image below conveys the horrible rise in recorded racist hate crimes in the north between 2004 and 2015, whether we want to accept it or not, there is a huge problem in our society that needs sorted.
