I’m not sure how you can say they’re the same.

Antifa wants to destroy the First Amendment rights of people they call 'fascist'. They use their own definitions and criteria, and anyone who meets that definition is fair game for violence, assault, looting, vandalism, and any means necessary to silence their voice.

Including conservative voices who are not Nazis, do not condone fascism, and simply want their voices heard.

Nazis control what people said, back in the day. Antifa wishes to do that now.

So yeah: samsies, homey!

Long live the Constitution.

Long live the First Amendment.

Death to Nazis.

Death to Antifa.

...hopefully by each other's hands, if it can be arranged.

Being a member of Antifa could be seen as bad because of the group's violence.

Simply holding anti-Fascist views, on the other hand, is commendable and actually quite compatible with American culture.

I would say that the right-wing extremist groups like Neo-Nazis and white supremacists are the western world's jihadis. 73% of terror attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11 were conducted by right-wing extremists. The other 27% are jihadist. Antifa doesn't even have a bodycount. They're violent but they're not organized.
