33:26Now PlayingThe term “Antifa” comes from the German word for antifascist — born from movements resisting fascist leaders Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. Today, it refers to a decentralized network of activists who confront what they see as examples of modern-day fascism around the world. Academic and author Mark Bray joins Front Burner to trace Antifa’s roots, its modern-day evolution and why U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to label it a terrorist organization echoes crackdowns on the movement from history — in the U.S., Canada and beyond.
