Red and Black Bloc

Red and Black Bloc are tactics used in protests, particularly by groups with distinct political ideologies. The "Red Bloc" typically represents leftist activists, often focused on social justice and anti-capitalism, while the "Black Bloc" consists of individuals who adopt a more militant approach, often emphasizing autonomous anarchism. Both blocs often wear similar clothing to maintain anonymity and solidarity. The Red Bloc engages in peaceful protests, while the Black Bloc may express dissent through direct action, including property destruction. These tactics highlight differing strategies within activist movements, reflecting diverse perspectives on achieving social and political change.
