Wait...IS Pantifa A Terrorist Organization? And WILL The Left Have To Give Them Up?

Or just some other kind of stupid assholes? 
   I've never been too clear on the concept.
   I mean, they certainly use violence to achieve political ends... Which fits the ordinary conception of terrorism, FWTW. 
   But this presents the progressive left with a dilemma, as I was jabbering the other day. They're in a position such that they have to find someone to blame for these riots--hence their frantic, immediate efforts to do so: Rooskistan! Drug cartels! And my favorite: WHITE SUPREMACISTS!!! Why not: Klingons! KAOS! The Car Acrobatic Team!? 
   I think their powers of plain-fact denial are increasing from exercise. But anyway, apparently it's clear that Antifa Anarcho-Communists were involved...not that I actually have any evidence of that. But it's allegedly clear. So let's go with that, provisionally.
   If progressives don't find someone else to blame, they'll have to admit who's actually responsible. Which they absolutely cannot do. Because, by their own criteria, that would be racist. So they are in danger of having to admit that (a) Antifa exists and (b) it is at least sometimes responsible for violence and destruction. It's going to be painful to give up their Blackshirts...but you see their dilemma. 
   Right now hundreds of lefties (MSM, academicians, basement-dwelling "activists") are scrutinizing all the information they can find--arrest records, tweets, whatever--looking for anything that will back up some flimsy tale of right-wing involvement. Because the left, almost by definition, can never do wrong...other, of course, than using inadequate means...or not being lefty enough. And, who knows? The radical right is nutty enough that they usually provide some kind of hook to hang such a charge on--good enough for those who want to believe. I mean, without James Alex Fields, the left might have had to face the fact that a big part of the real story of Unite The Right was that right-wing extremists can now be denied their First Amendment rights more-or-less routinely. One psycho helped bury the lede of that story...forever, apparently. Because the First Amendment is now merely a speed bump in our headlong race toward leftist utopia.
