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
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.
While I don’t agree with the right’s current direction - I’m talking about Switzerland/Germany, not America here - I have not seen a single incident where they use political and actual violence to get their point across - where I’ve seen that a lot from the left.
“behaves very fascist”
Yeah those evil fascist protestors doing violence, waving American flags, demanding strict social hierarchies, with ultra-right-wing views

Im talking about Europe. Where I’m from. Not everyone is american.
And your claim is still a big fat lie.
Reasons why I think Antifa is fascist:
Do you not agree with these statements?

The right uses political and actual violence to prevent people from being themselves. That’s not a disagreement. That’s actual fascism.

Right wing violence is all over the news the last three years in Germany.
I do however see that Antifa in the EU seem to be a lot more militant than here in the U.S.
