I don’t think I’m educated enough to say anything against the group as a whole, as I haven’t sat down to do a lot of research on them (I’m realizing now that my comment was made from a BS bias that I had picked up from when I was a conservative).
You should do more research :)
Unless you’re talking about this one, referring to “the antifa organization” makes as little sense as saying “the conservative organization”. There are many organizations with variously overlapping goals and strategies for achieving them, but there hasn’t been a singular “antifa organization” since 1933.

I think using the word organization was an odd choice on my part. Maybe a better wording would be group. Often times, there are groups that show similar characteristics such that you can think of them by the group. For example, I think of christians as a group are not great. Their is a large swath of Bigotry or people who are so under educated, such that it is impossible to communicate with them (I’ve been in a convo with a christian who was brain dead and couldn’t even conceive of the concept of there being no God, to the point where he wouldn’t accept a single hypothetical that didn’t presuppose God was a real being).
This doesn’t mean that you should judge each individual by the group, I’ve had some amazing conversations with some intelligent Christians who do not fall under this category. However, I still think it’s somewhat reasonable to generalize. I can say “Republicans are lunatic fanboys who focus on feeling like their right and everyone else is stupid. Such to the point where they will often just refer to the others at Liberals” while still taking into account that I know some republicans who can have reasonable discussions (Despite the fact that I feel their ideas are dog water).

Just not something I have gotten around to.
