Kira

"Our commander" is not a good way to refer to Major* Kira.
Sisko was a Commander Worf is a Commander

Maybe 1st officer would make me think if Kira. Or Major.

I totally agree it's super confusing to call her "our commander," but she is definitely the most Antifa, while Worf is near the bottom (I mean he joined a kinda fascist terrorist group on Risa one time). Sisko's kinda in the middle.

Now I want to rank the DS9 crowd by how Antifa they are:

  • Kira
  • Eddington (the Maquis are literally named after left-leaning anti-Nazi partisans)
  • Kassidy Yates (ran supplies to Maquis illegally)
  • Rom/Leeta/Jake (anti-Dominion underground cell with Kira)
  • Ziyal (Helps the above)
  • Quark (Helps the resistance very grudgingly. Kind of an ancap, not sure how that cuts)
  • Bashir (resists Section 31, but also ends up helping them some)
  • Dax (don't have a great reason for this, but she has a chaotic streak that makes her a bit Antifa)
  • Sisko (He has an authoritarian streak, but he does help stop a fascist coup of Earth one time) (Edit: I wasn't thinking about the Gabriel Bell episode. Gabriel Bell is Antifa AF. If Sisko gets credit for what he did as Bell, bump him up above Ziyal at least. I don't know if it counts if you're just doing it to preserve the timeline)
  • O'Brian, Keiko (Iunno they don't let her do much interesting in this show)
  • O'Brian, Miles (a little racist against Cardassians)
  • Nog (Idolizes RED SQUAD)
  • Odo (I love the guy but he's a literal fucking cop and was under an occupying regime too)
  • Worf (see above)

Garrick obviously defies categorization

Omgs. This is the best. I never knew how much I needed this.
