You're a very confused woman.
How so?
Antifa and anarchists are not one and the same. While Antifa espouse strong central government and restrictions of freedom of speech, leaving them little different than the fascists they claim to oppose, anarchists believe in no government at all. They are in fact at opposite ends of the spectrum of libertarianism. In truth Antifa are the remaining dregs of communism and formed as such when communism became no was cool.
Having said that, they both are scruffy and low life so their appearance is similar
When I googled Antifa and have read articles talking about Antifa, they have been described as both adherents of anarchy and communism. I am aware that one cannot be both at the same time. Antifa, being a very loose and decentralized movement, has BOTH in its midst. And the ones spitting on and attacking cops for no reason are behaving more like anarchists than communists, imo.
ANTIFA was formed in 1932 in response to the rise of the Nazi's. I did not realize that communism had become not cool at that point.
I sincerely hope you are not a teacher of history. The rise of the anti-Facist groups bear little in common with the low lives of today's Antifa.
Presumably from the same source you found:
Contemporary Antifa in Germany "has no practical historical connection to the movement from which it takes its name, but is instead a product of West Germany’s squatter scene and autonomist movement in the 1980s."
[1] Many new Antifa groups formed from the late 1980s onwards. One of the biggest antifascist campaigns in Germany in recent years was the, ultimately successful, effort to
block the annual Nazi-rallies in the east German city of Dresden in Saxony, which had grown into "Europe's biggest gathering of Nazis".

In October 2016, the Antifa in Dresden campaigned on the occasion of the anniversary of the reunification of Germany on 3 October for "turning Unity celebrations into a disaster" („Einheitsfeierlichkeiten zum Desaster machen“), to protest this display of new German nationalism, whilst explicitly not ruling out the use of violence.

The
American Antifa of the early 21st-century has drawn its aesthetics and some of its tactics from the original German organization.
