This is easily searchable and we can see several left-wing groups calling themselves antifa

That being said the logo is a fair point. It's quite frequent. That being said, even if it's frequently used it's not a proof of an organized and coordinated movement. During the various House/Senate hearings, no one was able to bring any proof (or even tried for that matter) that there's coordination between those groups for nefarious purposes or otherwise.
And the explanation is simple, there isn't. It's all in the title. They're just anti fascist groups. In France at least you just see them when there are white supremacists attacking minority groups for fun (yes it happens, saw it a few time in my engineering school). Friends of mine used to call them when white guys came to punch blacks and arabs at their parties. Outside of this, they're basically not doing anything except maybe doing tattoos on each others and writing slogans on their backpacks. In an ideal world, the cops would do that. But they aren't doing it in any effective capacity.
It's a bit horrendous that countries which went to war against fascism now treat anti fascism as suspicious or even dangerous, especially when the number of physical attacks against minorities are rising back up.
It's not antifa groups baiting gay people on grindr to beam them up. Yes, it's a thing, and yes it's "alt-right" people. But who cares, the orange president said they were fine people...
