Antifa is the far left's attempt to take what has largely been a cold culture war and turn it hot. They should be treated with the same contempt as the neo-Nazi groups they use as justification for their violence. Calling them an anti-hate group is dangerous and could end up legitimizing them. They are all about hate. Hate of the most dangerous kind...hate that is seen as righteous and justified.

Correct. They are nihilists who have no problem whatsoever using violence and death to achieve their desired ends. Just like the video taken of UNC prof Dwayne Dixon standing on that car with his semi-auto rifle that day in Charlottesville while ordering Heather Heyer and others to go down to the end of the street and "get ready to get hit." Dixon then admitted in a subsequent FB post to using that same exact semi-auto rifle to chase Fields down 4th Street and into the waiting crowd.

All of that is a matter of legal record.

Having the Right on the streets provokes violence, and there is a history or right wing street violence acrss the world including some very famous incidents.

That's not to say the extreme Right are worse than the extreme left, they are both equally extreme and unpleasant.
Indeed. They go to Portland routinely to pick fights with the anti-farts, and then claim to be the victims. This country is spinning out of control pretty fast.

I keep looking for these Single Jewish Women being mentioned and never find them...except on J-Date. I mean - I know some have a reputation, but never thought they would become the enemy of the right wing....it sorta makes sense in a negative way tho.

Watch UNC prof Dwayne Dixon order Heather Heyer to her death in Charlottesville. At 1:45 in the video...

Dwayne Dixon

As for their views, SJW's, Feminists and other such deluded people represent a tiny proprtion of people and it's time people just stood up and said this is nonsense, instead of pandeing to this minority.
A good bit of this Antifa stuff (as well as the other groups you named) is AGAINST Law & Order.
That's the case with many Left Wing Groups - "no borders", "abolish ICE", "abolish the President", No USA.

Police can't "bring these people to justice" -- and they KNOW it. They can try to contain them, they can arrest them, they can attempt to protect property -- BUT the Police have no control over the Prosecution and Judges that just turn them loose to "Riot another Day". The Rioters are well funded with an Army of Lawyers.

The Rioters KNOW this - they have a "get out of jail free card". IF one of them gets hurt in the Riots, the Media goes on the attack against Law Enforcement.

The solution to this stuff is in City Government, State Government - stop giving these Anarchists their "get out of jail free card" - When they spend some REAL Jail time, it will stop.
The Leftist Media will scream about it - BUT at least the public will be protected from these animals.

The Solution is the Ballot Box - get rid of those who give the rioters a free pass and constrain the Police from protecting citizens.

Leftwing groups and SJW's merely show how weak they are by silly marches and chsnting, as groups with any real power don't have to go on to the steeets and shout idiotic slogans.

It also should be noted that this is not unique to America or indeed modern times, the left have spouted nonsense on the streets of lots of countries for most of the 20th century and the current century.
that's what the germans said about the Brownshirts in the 1920s.

Good post.

Antifa reminds me of the Autonomen in Germany.

They were not chanting death to anyone, the OP invented that part. They chanted "no USA at all", and personally I don't even know what that is supposed to mean, so its hard to get too outraged over it. Since they are anarchists, I suppose they oppose the government, and even the country. IMO they can rant & chant whatever they want.
