As with most of my posts this is purely a product of inspiration. I listened to a Stefan Molyneux guest today that identified as a former radical left, anarcho-communist, marxist, occupy, and antifa member.
The speech is peaceful and discussion was deep at moments and was very peaceful and enlightening. It is good enough that I believe it warrants a post.
Former ‘Antifa’ Speaks Out - 1:21:07
I don't want to however, leave this post as just being a repost of this video. I want to add some material based upon what they discussed in this discussion. I will state that I think this is an interesting video and worth a listen.
Here is an internet archive on Marxism that the guest mentioned as being extensive:

If you listen to the interview the guest "Steve" mentions the paths of research he went down on this website while he was still a member. He was not a short term member, he was a member for a substantial amount of time.
Parts of the discussion focus on his early childhood and family and I think that is more out of being thorough and to add more information to whether there may be something related to family, and other aspects. Stick with it, they get away from that particular topic eventually and it becomes quite interesting.
At this point I started wondering if perhaps there are other former Antifa members that have also spoken out...

The comment section of this article I linked as well as the story itself is enlightening and worth reading as well.
