I don't think this is a coherent statement.
Antifa isn't an organization. The Proud Boys definitely is.
If you're not familiar with the Proud Boys, this is a good introductory video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZMWQDvZQZs
Maybe not with centralized governance like Proud Boys, but PayPal definitely cut off payment processing for "Antifa Sacramento" and "Atlanta Antifascists" last year, I remember reading about it...
They have spokes people, a uniform, unified political beliefs, and meet through organised events.
I suspect the only reason they claim not to be an organisation is because they don't want to be label a terror organisation. Either way, how they choose to organise should be completely irrelevant here. If Antifa decided they were an organisation tomorrow and The Proud Boys put out a statement saying they're no longer an organisation should PayPal reverse their stance?
I suspect it's because there is no "they". All the antifa-in-the-name orgs are just loosely connected groups that espouse similar ideology.
There is no Gavin or Enrique for "antifa".
No, they don't. As with many extreme movements, people calling themselves Antifa are a group of people of similar but nevertheless disparate outlooks, united through the principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend". Were Antifa to prevail over their ideological adversaries, one could expect them to then immediately descend into savage infighting, just like most other historical revolutions have.
Nor would a uniform mean that there is a united organization. Within the world of splintered Marxist parties, there is a long tradition of different groups maintaining the same aesthetic style, while nevertheless branding each other as heretical and not real communists.
Fascism wants to start up the murder machine; and they'll tell you that it's to "purify" the nation and they'll try to present it in such a way that you think it's only "bad, dirty, disgusting" people who will be fed into it. But in the end the murder-machine will be turned against anyone and everyone until it is stopped.
The scenarios that apply to this country look less like Europe in the 1930's and more like Syria with a side of Rwanda.
For example, according to many activists claiming to be associated with Antifa, if one believes that trans-rights matters are not a major priority – compared, say, to class issues – that makes one a fascist. Think of the extreme leftists of May 1968, who were fighting against what they saw as insufficiently punished or even resurgent fascism. Since advocating for sexual minorities was not a central part of their struggle (even feminism or gay men’s issues were at the margins), we are supposed to assume that those anti-fascists were themselves fascist. That’s absurd.
I don't buy this narrative. Most of the anti-fascist activists I know adhere to the definition in Ur-Fascism: https://www.nybooks.com/articles/1995/06/22/ur-fascism/
