Antifa Is Mostly Made Up Of Privileged White Dudes Many in the media treat Antifa as a diverse group of warriors against fascism and racism. This is an absolute fabrication.

Just from interacting with them online for years, they're mostly 14-20 year old white guys who have become so extreme left they think communism is the perfect ideal, and don't really know about Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin, and the other communist regimes, or don't consider them "real communism" and think their revolution to put power in to the hands of new authoritarians will go more smoothly.

They're people with a lot of gusto but not much of a historical perspective. People who use guilt and shame of others to justify their misdeeds.

Pretty much everyone is against fascism.... but only some people wear that label it as a shield to remove themselves from scrutiny while they treat those around them poorly.

Many of them do know about those regimes and actually idealize them. Maybe it depends on the country, as in USA there hasn't been a civil war with communists committing massacres as was the case with many European and Asian countries, where their descendants wish to repeat history.
