Antifa (Amerika Serikat)
Antifa (/ænˈtiːfə, ˈæntiˌfɑː/)[1] adalah gerakan di Amerika Serikat yang sebagian besar didominasi oleh sayap kiri, aktivis politik anti-fasis yang militan,[7][11] terdiri dari berbagai kelompok aktivis tanpa pemimpin yang bertujuan untuk mencapai tujuan politik mereka dengan menggunakan aksi langsung ketimbang melalui reformasi kebijakan.[12][13][14][15] Para aktivis ini terlibat dalam berbagai taktik protes, termasuk aktivis digital, merusak properti dan kekerasan fisik, serta pelecehan terhadap mereka yang diidentifikasi sebagai fasis, rasis, maupun kanan jauh.[16][17][8][18][15][19][20]
Individu yang terlibat dalam gerakan ini cenderung memiliki pandangan anti-otoritarian dan anti-kapitalis[21] serta menganut berbagai ideologi sayap kiri seperti anarkisme, komunisme, marxisme, demokrasi sosial dan sosialisme.[22][23][21][24][25][26][27] Baik nama "antifa" maupun logo dua bendera yang melambangkan anarkisme dan komunisme berasal dari gerakan Antifa Jerman.[28]
Pada 1 Juni 2020, Presiden Donald Trump menggemakan pernyataan yang sebelumnya dilontarkan oleh Penasihat Keamanan Nasional Amerika Serikat, Robert O'Brien,[29] dengan menyalahkan antifa dan para "anarkis profesional", karena telah melakukan tindakan kekerasan.[30]
Etimologi
suntingKata antifa dalam bahasa Inggris merupakan kata serapan dari bahasa Jerman, diambil sebagai bentuk singkat dari kata antifaschistisch ("anti-fasis") dan nama Antifaschistische Aktion yang menginspirasi Gerakan Antifa menjadi lebih luas di Jerman.[31][32][33][34] Kamus Oxford, mencantumkan kata "antifa" dalam daftar pendeknya sebagai "kata tahun ini" pada 2017, ditulis bahwa kata antifa tersebut "muncul dari ketidakjelasan relatif untuk menjadi bagian dari kosakata bahasa Inggris yang mapan selama 2017".[33] Liga Anti-Pencemaran Nama Baik menyatakan bahwa label "antifa" harus dibatasi untuk "mereka yang secara proaktif berkonfrontasi fisik dengan musuh-musuh mereka yang dianggap fasis "dan tidak disalahgunakan untuk memasukkan semua kontra-demonstran anti-fasis.[17]
