They may want a revolution, and may be on the left. But as has been explained, antifa is a loose group, and its purpose is not to achieve those goals per se. They are not Stalinists; they are more like Bernie in their goals. It is just that some people on the left (as well as some others) feel the need to stand up to the fascists. Non-violent methods are preferable, even to antifa. But they feel the need to act before the white supremacists, Nazis, KKK, xenophobes, etc. get too far forward. Heck, they've already taken over the White House. What else might the fascists do? It is better to take their warning, rather than harping on about these admittedly-imperfect messengers. They aren't going to take over the USA, but the fascists have already got 30-40% of Americans behind them and have elected a president and a congress and a supreme court. So which is more dangerous?
