Whilst working on something else, I will just leave this here for now...

Most people don’t know the origins of Antifa.  Antifascist Action (Antifaschistische Aktion), or “Antifa”, was originally founded in 1932 as a merger of the private armies/militias of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands, SPD in the below photo), a “liberal” Marxist-socialist party—and the German Communist Party (Kommunistische Partei Deutschlands, KPD).



The current version of the original Antifa logo, seen above:



The banner in the centre reads:  “ES LEBE DIE ROTE EINHEITSFRONT”.  In idiomatic English, I think that that slogan should be rendered:  “THE UNITED RED FRONT LIVES!”

The banners on the left and right read respectively:  “As the SPD [Social Democrats]” and “As the KPD [Communists]”.

The hammer-and-sickle flags need no explanation. ☭

So, yes:  Antifa are Communists.  It’s not merely my opinion that they are Communists; it’s not that they are like Communists, or maybe crypto-Communists:  The group originated as a merger of a self-described overt Communist group and a liberal-Marxist-socialist group, under the International Communist Red Flag.

N.b. that I knew the above-stated history before the pomo-Jacobins started bragging about it.  I’m not getting the history from them (or their twisted version thereof).  I have know the history for a long time; and I found the photo floating around the web somewhere awhile ago.
