The Guide To Urban Combat

The ANTIFA Guide to Urban Combat Tactics is a controversial, unflinching look at the realities of resisting far-right extremism in the modern age. More than a handbook, it is a resource that blends history, analysis, and field-tested strategies to prepare activists and communities for the challenges of direct action, digital disinformation, and the psychological battles that shape public perception. From dissecting the ideologies and recruitment methods of far-right groups to understanding the power of propaganda, this book provides critical insight into the mindset of extremism.
Readers will find chapters dedicated to:  Understanding the Threat - tracing the roots of far-right movements, their propaganda methods, and their potential for violence. Risk & Self-Defense - situational awareness, de-escalation techniques, and the realities of improvised defense in life-threatening scenarios. Strategic Deployment - planning, organizing, and coordinating safe and effective actions, including post-event analysis and recovery.
Psychological Warfare - how narratives are shaped, how misinformation spreads, and how movements can ethically counter propaganda. Post-Action Procedures - evidence preservation, medical response, and emotional recovery, ensuring both accountability and resilience. Digital Activism - navigating the online battlefield, countering disinformation, and building secure networks for long-term sustainability.
  At its core, this guide emphasizes safety, preparation, and ethical responsibility. While it does not encourage illegal activity, it does not shy away from examining the methods, risks, and consequences activists may face when confronting violent ideologies. Every chapter is layered with disclaimers, urging readers to prioritize non-violent resistance, de-escalation, and the protection of innocent lives above all else. The book draws on lessons from history, including the rise of fascism, Charlottesville, January 6th, and other pivotal moments, highlighting how modern extremist movements weaponize culture, media, and fear.
Alongside sobering realities, it provides empowering strategies for community defense, solidarity, and sustainable activism. The ANTIFA Guide to Urban Combat Tactics is not a call to violence-it is a sober recognition of the risks faced by those who choose to stand against fascism. It speaks to activists, organizers, and readers who seek to understand not just the mechanics of resistance, but the moral weight of choosing how and when to act. For anyone committed to confronting hate, protecting their community, and navigating the increasingly complex battleground of modern extremism, this book offers both a warning and a way forward.
