But Rose City Antifa is part of this network called the Torch Network. So this curriculum is pretty significant because it was not just used for Rose City Antifa, which is a cell in Portland. The curriculum is structured in part kind of like a university curriculum, except it lasts for months on end. And they eventually invite them to join formally, and teach them gradually more and more radical and extreme ideas. And they befriend them and invite them to social events. Ngo: So, some of the research that is done at looks at the work of jihadist and infamous networks.Īnd I think it’s analogous to compare what some Antifa groups do to how … this group’s organized, in that they take people who are sympathetic to what they think is the anti-fascist cause. So what else can you tell us about this curriculum and how it was used to do this training? And you had said, in materials for the book, that it includes not only core schedules, but also different meeting locations, individuals involved in training, and that included academics and journalists.

And, as part of the curriculum, they also train them on how to hurt and maim and injure their opponents, and also how to take up arms.ĭel Guidice: That was actually one of my follow-up questions, is you did mention the curriculum used by Antifa. So they really subject their recruits to really intense indoctrination and brainwashing. You will see in there that the curriculum includes the radicalization process that lasts for nearly half the year. I think some of the probably most relevant information for readers is some of the primary documents that I released for the first time, from somebody who was in the membership process for one of the largest Antifa groups in the U.S. And I lay out, in some of the chapters, in my book “Unmasked,” how this process played out, not just in Minnesota, but also in Oregon, and Washington state, and other places. Just because, from city to city, what I was observing in videos, and also when I was there in some places on the ground, was this, in addition to protesters who were saying they were with Black Lives Matter, there were elements within that of people dressed in the black uniforms, and carrying melee weapons, and having backpacks that were filled with Molotov cocktails or other riot supplies.Īnd they were very strategically and effectively turning these mass, already highly emotionally-charged protests into riots, really at the snap of a finger. My book-writing process took on additional urgency when all of the violence broke out last year in the name of Black Lives Matter. And I think these misconceptions have allowed Antifa to grow as a phenomenon, that now I think is, in some areas of the country, a force that has been destabilizing, as we saw throughout 2020. There are a lot of misconceptions out there, both on the right and the left.
Ngo: I wrote it so that just the average person … would be to pick up one source and have in their hand a book that would provide, not just the history and origins of Antifa, but also lay out what their ideology is, what their strategies are, how they organize, so that people can better understand this threat that we’re dealing with. But can you just tell us a little bit about the book and why you wrote it?
It’s called “ Unmasked: Inside Antifa’s Radical Plan to Destroy Democracy.” And so we’re going to get into different parts of the book. Congratulations, you just released a new book. Thank you for joining us on “The Daily Signal Podcast.”ĭel Guidice: Well, it’s great to have you with us. As some of you might remember, he also was beaten by Antifa in June of 2019, and has been on our podcast a whole bunch of different times. He’s the editor-at-large for The Post Millennial. You also can write to us del Guidice: I’m joined today on “The Daily Signal Podcast” by Andy Ngo. If you like what you hear, please leave a review.
