There are parallels between this event and the takedown of the British National Party. Around 2009 an insider leaked their member list, in a similar fashion. The same year antifa was activated to protest the BNP. From my recollection, antifa where always considerate enough to inform the police when they planned to protest a protest, or clash with a political group like this. The clashes with police help the story spread. It is the physical manifestation of an ideological conflict. At the time, I was generally supportive of antifa (remember, they where brand new then, although technically founded earlier, they had been dormant for a long time). However, despite the BNP declining into irrelevance after this, they where replaced by UKIP, and the far right, in Britain, has probably never been bigger than it is today. The publicized clashes between antifa and the right, ended up beeing useful recruitment propaganda to both sides. To the people on the right, it was proof that the far left was dangerous and intent on suppressing opposing political views. And vice versa.
