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".

The groups' activities have included handing out flyers, organizing demonstrations, direct action, and property destruction.

[7] In stark contrast to the American Antifa,[8] the Swedish AFA is not open to more moderate forms of leftism, and on one occasion members of a left-wing party were spat upon by them.

[10] AFA members have admitted to arson by timed firebombs,[11] and have pleaded guilty to burning the Tråvad spinnery in 2005.

[16] On 7 March 2008, Säpo, the Swedish security police agency, reported that AFA or people using its symbols constantly threaten municipal and provincial elected council members.
