From what I can tell, ANTIFA only exists at the level of crowd swarming in a few select cities. Outside of that I think they are just a collective fear.
I mean if bona fide white supremacists, racialists, anti-federalists, anti-queer, anti-whatever groups don't qualify as hate or terror groups but rather alternative political views-- I can't see ANTIFA as anything different....

@pagandad Well. There are a couple layers to this.
One of them is whether damaging property and attacking people is, in itself, "terrorism". The legal precedent seems to answer "no" to that.
Arrest them? Throw them in jail? Sure.
Call them terrorists? Sure. I'm game.
But then I have a nice long list of others to join them.

@pagandad The media isn’t hiding anything, and antifa will be the first to tell you that they are out to disrupt, ahem, “European Chauvinists” and make it more difficult and dangerous for them to organize. This is what they do, and they will freely admit that they’re breaking the law. Like it is for many proponents of civil disobedience, that’s even the point.
This isn’t even new, it’s been like this since the 1930s.
