I guess you are saying that the Antifa are not as "serious" as the skin heads and neo-Nazis.
You may have that perception because Antifa has not been in the headlines as much as the others, and has no central point of organization.
But, in fact, there is a widespread network of autonomous Antifa groups that communicate through social media, and organize protests in this medium.
It is also true that
Antifa groups advocate anarchism, socialism, and communism. The Antifa groups in Germany and Italy in the 1930s were anti-fascists who clashed with the followers of Hitler and Mussolini. But, they were not for the status quo, they were pushing for Communism.
Today's American Antifa often show up at demonstrations wearing all black, with masks over their faces, and carrying weapons.
Because of their frequent assaults on police officers and their support of anarchy, I regard them as Anti-American.
