The upheaval after George Floyd's death
During the riot for George Floyd and the world wide riots involving racial questions, the return of the violent riot is common. The Antifa movement is being promoted as a fashion mark to be used against the politics and specialy the western alt-right policy. The question now is about the tactic used by Antifa and some politics are comparing them to Black Bloc tactic. But the far difference between both is a screamming question. Antifa is a group, socialist in general and promoted specially by SHARP Skinhead groups, leftist skinheads and punks, than the spread in media about the Antifa action, the socialist groups and parties used the term Antifa - Anti Fascism - to promote their flags. In general the strategy of the leftist parties is outsource small groups to promote their political propaganda.
Some politics wrongly compare Antifa to Black Blocs, and there, here is the difference.
Black bloc is a tactical action of direct clash of the anarchic ideology that promotes riots and upheaval, utilizing propaganda defying the establishment and order.
This is a tactic that urged in the 1980s in Deutchland by autonomous anarchists to defend the squats against the police and far right attacks. Lately the activities gained attention in media out of Europe. The tactic was used to destroy big corporations stores as Mcdonald's, Starbuks and others that promoted Pan-Americanism and American Cultural revolution.
The modus operandi is to promote direct attack to private corporations that are partners to toe government and destroy the structure of the place of the riot, promoting a modification of operational scenario's geography.
The use of masks and black clothes is the main point to the tactic, to keep in secret the identity and protect the rioters phisically. All together act unified as a big block.
The media difused the action as an organization, but the Black Bloc is a tactic of riot, which members don't have connection between them. In the same manifestation there are diverse black blocs acting with different objectives and actions. These blocks can also confront themselves, as it happened in Genoa against the G8 summit in 2001 and in Montebello - Quebec - in 2007 in the Three Amigos Summit.
