I believe that you've just described what Fascists are -- not the
innocent "bystanders" whose politics you loathe, but Antifa itself --
a Fascist organization that uses extreme violence to attempt to
eliminate its political opposition. Fascists don't attack randomly --
that's what terrorists do. As you say, Antifa targets its political
enemies -- that's what violent Fascists do. I don't know of any
better definition of Antifa as a Fascist organization than the one
you've given. You've really nailed it!
It never ceases to amaze me how the Left -- whether in the KKK,
Antifa, in China, or anywhere else -- is always the most violent and
most Fascist, but blames their political enemies for what they
themselves are doing, and seeks to justify their own violent Fascism
as "good violent Fascism," since it comes from the wonderful and
blessedly holy Left.
I didn't say I agree with antifa attacking their opponents.
Antifa is not fascist, because fascism is what they are opposed to. Fascism is an ideology, more than just a kind of tactic.
