Btw, I find it very interesting how now that fascists have started to get serious political pull and impact on the internet, suddenly violent anarchists = Antifa.
It's interesting since anarchists and Antifa have existed as separate movements for decades, without any confusion before. Even Black Blocs have existed for decades now.
G20 and G8 meetings have seen plenty of riots and demonstrations over the years by various anti-capitalist groups, but suddenly it's now Antifa that's to blame? Why is that?
(Of course there is likely to be overlap between the Black Blocs and people who are in Antifa, as one is a tactic and another is a collection of people from various groups, including anarchists and far-left groups.)
It's almost as if somebody has an agenda there.
It's also sad how especially the media focus of Hamburgs G20 demonstrations have been hijacked by a relatively small violent group. Here's what the final day of the demonstrations in Hamburg like. It's actually predominantly peaceful there.
