And your claim is still a big fat lie.

Reasons why I think Antifa is fascist:

  1. they paint people they don't like as 'Nazis' - just like right wing fascists like to paint everyone they don't like as a 'jew'
  2. they endorse violence against these 'Nazis'
  3. they self-radicalize by echo-chambering, removing themselves farther and farther from the "real world"

Do you not agree with these statements?

Are they also ultra-nationalist, ultra-right-wing, and in favor of strict social hierarchies? There's more to fascism than just being mean to people you don't like

According to Britannica:

Fascism : a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government

While what I described is not centrally controlled by a dictator (and anyone claiming that Antifa was centrally controlled is a nutcase, I agree), the way Antifa as a collective behaves does try to "control the lives of people, not allowing them to disagree with them" - at least in my opinion. You're free to have your own.

Ok but that's not fascism

Like, according to your own definition that you linked, and your own opinion of the control structure of Antifa, they don't match up
