"Fascism is not kind. It is not decent. It does not care about the individual, because the individual is subservient to the state, and in particular whoever runs that state. It is not compatible with Steve Rogers. Fascism does not fight for "the greater good", it fights for the exaltation of the inhuman, the commemoration of cruelty, and the hatred of the different. Fascism is a loser ideology."
Anti-Fascism, also known as Antifa, is a non-quadrant but usually left-leaning political ideology and movement centered around combating 
Fascism and most ideologies similar to them by any means necessary, including deplatforming them through use of intimidation and violence. He is friends with most variants of leftism, both libertarian and authoritarian, so long as they share the goal of eliminating fascism. Despite what many people believe, Anti-Fascism is not a group or an organization, but rather a political movement. While people from all quadrants can be anti-fascists, the term Anti-Fascist itself is usually used by left-wing ideologies.
Supporters of the Anti-Fascist movement are mostly a range of leftist ideologies such as 
Marxism-Leninism, 
Democratic Socialism, and 
Anarcho-Communism, but in history they were also mostly democratic
History
Burma 
Aung San was a Burmese politician, independence activist, revolutionary, 
Myanmar Armed Forces, and is considered the Father of the Nation of modern-day Myanmar. Aung San was devoted to ending British rule in Burma and founded and participated in many Burmese political groups and movements to achieve his goal of Burmese independence. He joined the Thakin Society in 1938, working as its general secretary, and founded both the Communist Party of Burma and the Burma Socialist Party.
Shortly before the outbreak of World War II, Aung San fled Burma and went to 
China in search of foreign support for Burmese independence. While in China he was recruited by 
Japanese Army officials, who promised support and that Burma would be incorporated into the 
"Greater East Asia-Co Prosperity Sphere." Aung San recruited a small core of Burmese revolutionarieter known as the Thirty Comrades, which included future dictator 
Ne Win and left for 
Japan. During the Japanese occupation of Burma, he served as the minister of war in the Japan-backed State of Burma led by Dr. Ba Maw.
As the tide turned against Japan, Aung San and some of his forces switched sides to the Allies to fight against the Japanese. After World War II, he negotiated Burmese independence from Britain in the Aung San-Attlee agreement. He served as the 5th Premier of the British Crown Colony of Burma from 1946 to 1947 and led his party, the 
Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League, to victory in the 1947 Burmese general election. Aung San never got to see his vision of an independent Burma come true as he and most of his cabinet were assassinated shortly before the country became independent. It's broadly believed that Aung San and his comrades' assassination was ordered by the British to maintain unofficial control of their former colony.

Schools of Thought
Fantifa 
Fantifa (Feministische Antifa) is an umbrella term for a branch of the Antifa movement centered on the focus of women and 
feminist ideas. The Fantifa movement is primarily Anarcho-Communist and 
Anarcha-feminist.
Historical instances of Fantifa appear in the 
Rote Frauen und Mädelbund (1925-29) which is the women's branch of the German organisation Roter Frontkämpferbund, along with the Women's Antifascist Front of Yugoslavia (1942-1953) and the Spanish group Mujeres Libres (1936-1939)
Regional Tendencies
Italian Partisanism/Italian Resistance
The Italian resistance movement (the Resistenza italiana and la Resistenza) is an umbrella term for the Italian resistance groups who fought the occupying forces of 
Nazi Germany and the fascist collaborationists of the 
Italian Social Republic during the Second World War in Italy from 1943 to 1945. As an anti-fascist movement and organisation, La Resistenza opposed Nazi Germany, as well as Nazi Germany's Italian puppet state regime, the Italian Social Republic, which was created by the Germans following the Nazi German invasion and military occupation of Italy by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen-SS from September 1943 until April 1945 (though general underground Italian resistance and resistance groups to the Fascist Italian government began even prior to World War II).
Ideologically speaking, many Italian partisans believed mainly in various forms of leftism, especially 
Communism, 
Socialism, and 
Anarchism.
Some others, however, believed in forms of 
Republicanism and 
Liberalism. There were also 
Loyalists to the House of Savoy and 
Christian movements included in La Resistenza
Polish Home Army
The Polish Partisan movement is a Polish anti-fascist resistance movement against the genocidal totalitarian colonial regime of Nazi Germany. It participated in the famous Warsaw Uprising and fought relentlessly against the Nazis. It initially wanted to collaborate with the 
USSR’s Red Army to fight the Nazis. However, the Red Army never came. The uprising eventually failed after 63 days. A surrender pact was signed between the Nazis and the resistance leaders. The resistance members were subsequently deported to Nazi concentration camps.
The 
USSR conducted the Katyn Massacre in 1940 against Polish military officers and civilians following the invasion of Poland in 1939 as part of the 
Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact 
under the instruction of 
Lavrentiy Beria. The Soviet Union was utterly distrustful of the Polish Partisans, partially due to the prior actions of the USSR. After the failure of the Warsaw Uprising and the success of the Red Army’s advance in Poland, the uprisers and their leaders were killed, imprisoned, and deported to Siberia by the 
NKVD after the USSR liberated Poland from Nazi Germany. After the Soviet suppression of the Polish Partisans, the radical anti-communist resistance movement Cursed Soliders was formed to oppose the Soviet occupation of Poland.
Anti-Germanism
The ‘Anti-Germans’ are a strand of Anti-Fascism that can be found predominantly in 
Germany and 
Austria. As the name suggests, they are extremely anti-German/Nationalist, to the extent that they even uncritically praise the controversial Allied bombings of Nazi Germany during the Second World War- as exemplified by their slogan ‘
Bomber Harris do it again!’ (Referring to the WW2 head of the British Royal Air Force Bomber Command, Arthur ‘Bomber’ Harris). As such, Anti-Germans can be seen as the German equivalent of 
Anti-Japaneseism.
Alongside their extreme Anti-German Nationalism, the Anti-Germans can be most distinguished from other Anti-Fascists by their support for Israel. Anti-Germans view Anti-Zionism as Anti-Semitism, and have accused ‘Anti-Imperialist’ Anti-Fascists in Germany of supporting ‘Fascist’ and Anti-Semitic Arab/Islamist Governments and movements in order to oppose Zionism. Anti-Germans also opposed the NATO bombing of Serbia as the Serbs were also seen as historical victims of Nazism, Italian Fascism, and 
Ustase clerical fascism, alongside the Jews.
Personality
Anti-Fascism will do anything in his power to fight against fascist ideologies and doesn't take no for an answer. He believes in punching them first and asking questions later (or not asking at all). When he gets called a domestic terrorist, he just laughs. He is often really angry and on edge, and prone to swearing. Is also prone to break the law in violent ways. He sees himself as the true left unity and often tries to make 
AuthLeft and 
LibLeft work together, but often ends up pissing off both. Despite mostly being a leftist ideology and movement, he is willing to work with non-leftists, such as 
National Democracy and 
Gaullism if it means victory over fascism.

statist. 
Insurrectionary Anarchism- The same as above, helped me fight fascists but don't like my authoritarian variants- Marxism-Leninism - Even though my anarchist variants are skeptical of you, you are basically the root cause of my existence. You conflicted with fascism and defeated them in 1945. But we must forget that Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact nor forget the suppression of the Home Army.

Juche - Even though you're pretty much a red fascist, we will still fight together against 
him.
Illegalism - We both love riots and molotovs (the cocktail, not the crypto-nazbol diplomat), but you're too individualistic.
Capitalism - Some of you did help us fight fascists during WW2, and you hate fascism because it is economically regulationist. But 
some supported it. (And me and my followers mostly prefer socialism.)

Libertarianism - Stop saying that wanting to silence fascists makes me anti-free speech. They don't deserve a platform. But at least you also hate fascism.

Civil Libertarianism - Freedom of speech? We can't let fashies have a voice. Thanks for defending me from the police in court tho
- You give the state the right to censor and you don't think they will come after you first?!?!?

Italian Monarchism - The birthplace of fascism, but I'm glad you turned on them in 1943.
