Honestly the KKK is a poor comparison for Antifa. It's kind of apples and oranges. It's better to compare Antifa to the early Brownshirts (the Nazi SA) and the Blackshirts (the Italian MVSN) prior to their parties solidifying power.
Antifa itself was really the German Communists (KPD) equivalent of the SA in the early 1930s and used the exact same tactics (obviously not as successfully) such as intimidation, disruption, and suppression. Pretty much mirror images of each other as organizations.
Obviously modern Antifa is...not quite the same as the old one, but it's really the same in spirit. Pro-communist and willing to use violence and any other means to reach their goals.
The idea that the nazis were right wing is a leftist lie. National Socialism was a competing socialist ideology with a lot in common with their communist competition.
Yep, and Hitler wasn't a Prussian Junker nor a monarchist like von Hindenburg or von Papen. He used his treason trail in 1924 as a political platform -- Not very right wing. he also played the soldier card to get the Prussians on his side, probably why they call Nazis right wing and while ignoring their socialism.
Yes, Antifa is much more dangerous than the KKK, they were partly responsible for the rise of Nazi Germany and they are communists.
KKK has no shit on the level of destruction Antifa is willing to do for their ideology.

The SA were also lead by Ernst Röhm, he was pro revolutionary, hated the Prussian military establishment and was openly homosexual.
Revolutionaries are not right wing, they maybe seem that way in comparison to other revolutionary movements.
