Gordon is joined by special guest, Cast Iron. Cast Iron has years of experience inside of anarchist politics, as a former Anarcho-Capitalist who attended the Occupy Wall Street protests. He gives his first-hand account of “Antifa,” or more accurately the large variety of radical left organizations who fall under that broad label. Who are they? How are they organized? How do they fund themselves, or who are they funded by? Common myths are busted and much light is shed by this very important episode!

If there’s anyone on our side that knows more about MPLS Antifa than I do then I know that person as well. The guy with the most inside info mysteriously died recently. At least I hear it was a mysterious death. Antifa in MPLS are indeed an actual physical card carrying org that masquerade as a union. Some IBEW but I forget the number. A lot of them work for the local stagehands union, which is sort of an on call job you don’t need any skills to join that you either show up or you don’t. During the Floyd riots what we absolutely know to be true is ersatz bomb crafting kits were found in alleys and I saw them. Usually they were discovered three blocks off the major throughway and maybe 5-7 blocks from the police stations. For instance these would be Lake St. in MPLS, Central Ave in NE MPLS. Most of the violence took place off Lake St. What we found would be a box with a few empty bottles, a small gas can, and rags. The strategic positioning is fairly obvious. The brick pallets were also real, but their origin and purpose can be disputed. But what makes MPLS so interesting is the long time presence of a crust punk anarchist collective called Profane Existence that published a free magazine for over a decade, had a record label attached to it, and a lot of other projects. Their first issue is honestly intellectually impressive for a small group of kids who appear to have a large network of academics ready to contribute. I believe the lead Jew, Dan, was maybe 18 at the time? I think it’s suspicious. He’s now allegedly a multimillionaire from his LEGO business that was hypocritically founded on custom Nazi LEGO kits.

That’s interesting stuff man, thanks for that. I’ll forward this on to Cast Iron and see if we can mention it at all in Part 2.
I meant IWW, which he covered. Not IBEW. But they do have cards and keep records like he said.
