Please stop confusing the modern red guard with the brown shirts. You might think it's nitpicking to choose between comparing socialist and communist. It's just this comparing everything to the Nazis thing isn't just over played, it's also missing the mark.
Commies are not known for their street thugs, fascists are. Commies always get control of the government first, then send government agents out to do their dirty work. Fascists, OTOH, loved their street thug army, and a lot of them wound up recruited into government after the Fascists took power.
Both were, and are, collectivists, and that makes them cousins.
Antifa now is acting just like Antifa historically always acted, say, in the lead up to WW2. "Commies always get control of the government first" still might be accurate if you consider the local/state governments where this is currently taking place.

I see you never heard of the Spartacist Uprising in Germany then? 1919. Good read.
Heh
