I thought we were talking about "an antifa vs police standoff in Berlin" 15 years ago. But if you insist on talking about America, let me cite a recent example of Antifa dishonestly labeling anything they oppose "fascist". Antifa rioters attacked a protest against vaccine mandates yesterday in Los Angeles. They sprayed mace on the protestors and one protestor was stabbed. They claimed the protestors were fascists and billed their response as "no safe space for fascists". However anyone may feel about vaccine mandates, I challenge them to justify calling opposition to vaccine mandates "fascist". The really troubling thing about Antifa is that because they label everything they oppose "fascist", they feel justified using any measure to oppose it, like spraying mace and stabbing people. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-08-14/anti-vaxers-face-off-with-counter-demonstrators-in-front-of-city-hall https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-08-14/anti-vax... https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/person-stabbed-vaccination-demonstrators-clash-outside-los-angeles-city-hall-n1276851 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/person-stabbed-vaccinat...

I find your comment misleading, with your article references doing the opposite of supporting your comment, especially from the latimes article. In the latimes article, it seemed to me the anti-vaccination group was doing the attacking - also the article does not mention antifa, the only "anti" it mentions is the anti-vaccination group, who seem violently oriented in that article. The nbc article does mention a group against fascism, but the attacking again seems to come from the anti-vax group. So I don't see these reports as against antifa, I only see the articles supporting the idea that anti-vaxers are prone to violence, at least in this incidence.
