The (((media))) has finally realized that enough moderates are disgusted by antifa that they will continue losing elections. That's why they've done an abrupt 180 degree turn from praising them as peaceful and standing up to Nazis, to demonizing them and calling them morally equivalent to Nazis.
But don't let them play the game of washing their hands clean of Antifa while continuing to pound the table that Nazis = Republicans = Trump.
Antifa = the alt left, and don't let anyone forget it.
AntiFa is not of the Left. Ideologically they are anarchists, closer to libertarians than liberals. With tactics adopted from alt-right Nazis they are really an off shoot of the racist Rightist extremism that began as a reaction to the first black POTUS (tea party etc.)

All labels are "made up," lol. The point is that they describe a group of people with common beliefs.
Here, antifa or the alt left are uniformly leftist in nature. They may be far left, just as the alt right can be considered far right, but they are equal counterparts.
My point is that there is no group describing themselves as "alt-left". Alt-Right, racist Nazi Trump supporters wear that label proudly. You're attempting to paint the majority of the country with a broad label and it's ridiculous.
Antifa is not of the left. it is the left. you may have noticed that until Nancy Pelosi, everyone on the left expressly supported them (see wapo, nyt, vox, etc.)

this is horseshit, they are died in the wool marxists who are 'anarchists' insofar as they want to topple the existing order after which they can institute self-government (and kill all counterrevolutionaries)
