Distinguished Lecture Series: Antifa: Stories from Inside the Black Bloc

October 18, 2021 from 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

ShutterStock - Los Angeles, California, USA - May 15, 2021: An Antifa member carries a flag during a protest.

For our October Distinguished Lecture Series, Jack Posobiec will be discussing his new book The Antifa: Stories from Inside the Black Bloc.

Few in the media have followed Antifa more closely – and have the scars to prove it – than journalist Jack Posobiec.

From infiltrating their 2016 meetings where they planned their attack on Trump’s inauguration to going undercover in Seattle’s CHAZ in 2020, Posobiec has never backed down from exposing the true nature of Antifa.

Posobiec will discuss the secret history of this radical anarchist group while integrating his personal encounters with some of its most hardcore and violent members. While few Americans were aware of Antifa’s existence until recently, it is actually part of a violent revolutionary tradition that dates back more than a hundred years. And, like its predecessors, it is driven by an overriding aim: the overthrow of the existing political order and capitalism, and replacing it with a communist state.

Antifa saw and seized its chance in 2020. Because it was not brought to heel – indeed, was encouraged in its violent mayhem by sympathetic city and state governments – it now looms as a greater threat than ever before.
