I sincerely believe that they are terrorists clouding their actions with the belief that they are doing the right thing. They claim to be fighting for peace and yet they resort to doing so through violence, two wrongs ain't gonna make a right. Other terrorists like Boko haram solely believe that their claims are right and that's why they keep fighting, when really and truly it's not. Antifas are fascists and we know fascists basically believe in the supremacy of their believes. Every one has believes in something we think is right but resorting to violence to prove our point is the beginning of terrorism.
According to Google, the definition of terrorism is the use of violence and intimidation, usually against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. By that definition, "Antifa" sure seems to fit the bill.
Any group that actively attempts to intimidate another group through violence for political purposes is a terrorist group. It does not matter if the cause they are fighting for is correct or not, because violence is not and should never be the answer for either side.
