    While I agree with both of you, these two points kinda contradict each other.

      Just like North Korea is called DPRK: Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The fascist use whatever words are in fashion to name themselves.

      Many do think antifa is just a different word for socialist, so it’s not necessarily a contradiction.

        It is a contradiction, though.

        “Antifa are ANTI fascist - it’s in the name!!”

        “The Nazis weren’t socialist - you could name yourself whatever you want!!”

          Except Antifa isn’t a formal organization, it’s a descriptor for an ideology. An organization can call itself anything, even if it isn’t a proper descriptor, but an ideology is by necessity defined by its name.
