There is no organization, no network called "Antifa". But it's that vagueness of use by the Right that has sinister authoritarian implications. If no one is Antifa than any one against fascism is Antifa to them.

Several books in fact and very kind words. The novella is written (18k words). The Great Aviary rough draft is complete. Rough drafts for three other things exist and are getting feedback.
