Antifascistisk Aktion

The Antifascistisk aktion (AFA) is a far-left, extra-parliamentary, anti-fascist movement in Sweden, whose stated goal is to "smash fascism in all its forms".[1] The purpose of the organization is to exchange information and to coordinate activities between local groups.

The groups' activities have included handing out flyers, organizing demonstrations, direct action, and property destruction. The group has no central authority, using a flat organization structure consisting of many independent groupings, without a board or leader. AFA works with other anti-racist groups all over Europe.[2][3] The groups' origins are in the heterogeneous anti-fascist groups of the late 1930s and early 1940s, mostly made up of social democrats, communists, and progressive Christians.[4] Their ideology is libertarian socialism.[5]
