Is it time to list ANTIFA as a criminal or terrorist organization?

In fact, Antifa is a violent ideology. At its core violence is viewed as self-defense and many Antifa activists will argue that fascism is inherently violent and must be resisted directly. The slogan Antifa often uses is “By any means necessary.” so, they often narrate their actions, the street fights, the riots, the destruction of property, as preventive self-defense against fascist violence. They also reject pacifism and will often criticize purely peaceful protest as ineffective against fascists. They will argue that direct action, which includes force, has historically been necessary.

So

The Peaceful Left?

Seriously the far left is as violent and malevolent as the far right.

IMO, no. There’s nothing remotely close to some large scale or widespread organization called ‘Antifa’ acting with any sort of cohesive purpose towards criminal ends. It’s a flag or social media profile pic that occasionally gets waved by far left anti-authority clubs that may or may not have loose affiliations with each other, but there’s not some cohesive, organized entity that would come at all close to fitting the bill for an 83.05 terrorist listing or a crim org finding in court.

The notion of some widespread organized ‘Antifa’ that gets popularized on social media is mostly a boogeyman.

Just wondering.....

What does an anarchist organization look like?

Seriously the far left is as violent and malevolent as the far right.

The far right mostly hangs out in mountain fastnesses, walting in SOF costumes and preparing for an imagined revolution. The far left is on the streets living the dream every year. What was the last far right event on the scope and scale of BLM - during COVID, no less, essentially with the permission and tolerance of authorities claiming to be "centrist"?
