Antifa are scum, through and through. Their main target is not to fight nazis or racists but to overthrow capitalism altogether. Many capitalists and those who simply have opposing views to antifa's radical leftism are branded nazis as an excuse to assault them. Silencing your political opponents with threats and violence is a key aspect of fascism, thus making them the people they claim to stand against.

Really, there is so much I could type about antifa but I don't think that this discussion even really needs to take place amongst logical thinking individuals. The vast majority of people I know realize antifa's hypocrisy and dangerously radical nature. You're lucky that through challenging his views you weren't hit with an 8 ball in a sock, I am certain that many people have been assaulted by them for less.
