Germany, in a First, Shuts Down Left-Wing Extremist Website (nytimes.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: An influential website linked to violence at the Group of 20 summit meeting in Hamburg last month has been ordered to shut down, in the first such move against left-wing extremists in the country (alternative source), the authorities in Germany said on Friday. Thomas de Maiziere, the interior minister, said that the unrest in Hamburg, during which more than 20,000 police officers were deployed and more than 400 people arrested or detained, had been stirred up on the website and showed the "serious consequences" of left-wing extremism. "The prelude to the G-20 summit in Hamburg was not the only time that violent actions and attacks on infrastructural facilities were mobilized on linksunten.indymedia," he said, referring to the website. The order on Friday was the latest move in a long battle against extremism in Germany. It comes in the wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Va., this month and amid worries about "antifa" factions that use violence to combat the far-right in the United States.
It's the exact opposite. A simple google search will show thatright wing violence is 74% more common than left.
This shouldn't be surprising. Antifa groups are anarchists. By definition they're unorganized and loose knit. They reject authority on the face of it. The Right OTOH make authority a central plank of their ideology. Better organization leads to more effective violence. That's why militaries use a chain of command instead of voting.

>"Conservatives want to keep things as is, unchanged. "
As far as USA Conservatives, no they don't. That is a big and unfair over-simplification. Conservatives want to keep the PRINCIPLES things were built on unchanged. Most importantly the concept of smaller government, especially Federal. Most Conservatives emphatically support the Constitution and the Bill of Rights inside it; they do not believe it is a flexible document that should be changed on a whim or twisted to meet the latest craze. They want people to be free of overbearing and over-reaching laws and regulations, and free to pursue happiness while also forced to take responsibility for their own actions and lives. They believe in equal rights and opportunities, not in quotas, handouts, reparations, affirmative action, and generations of people dependent on government spending with high taxes and debt. They also believe that free-markets work, and much better than government, as long as monopolies are kept in check and consumers are informed and free to make choices.
Cool, you are a racist then. I have seen many posts of yours supporting the DNC, march with the racists you are a racist.
DNC - start civil war to keep slavery
DNC - attempted to prevent women from voting
DNC - attempted to keep blacks from voting
DNC - filibusted civil rights act
DNC - kept KKK leader as their top senator for 60+ years and celebrated him as a hero after he died.
DNC - supports planned parenthood, started by M. Sanger who wanted to exterminate blacks in the US by abortions (blacks are 13% of population and 50% of abortions)
So congratulations racist. If you didn't want to be called one, you shouldn't have supported them.
Where exactly do you get your information on "antifa"? You are aware that there is an active movement right now by pro-Trump trolls running fake "Antifa" twitter accounts, don't you? Even the pro-trump troll who created the "declare antifa a terrorist group" White House petition claims to have twitterbot armies of his own stoking the fires.
Antifa is not a "movement". It has no "ideology". It simply means "anti-fascist". Anyone who considers themselves anti-fascist can (or not) adopt the label.
