What "organization"? Are you asserting that antifa is actually an
organization?
I don't think so.

Maybe they are saying this in an ironic or humorous way. Like if
grumpy old people are terrorists, I must be a terrorist.
Since antifa (upper or lower case a?) is a leaderless and
decentralized movement, not sure it could be declared an organization,
terrorist or otherwise. Kind of like idiots or assholes or for that
matter good samaritans, they exist, but are they organized? Can you
raid their clubhouse and imprison their leaders? Seems we are trying
to categorize people who disagree with us as an organization, no doubt
funded by George Soros (but not Elon Musk or Peter Thiel).

Real life people, relatives, former employees etc.
It is coming up due to Trumps trying to declar antifa to be a
terrorist organization. Some of these people are saying they must be
terrorists now.

Is your sphere of influence real life people you know, or online
stuff? I honestly have never had a single person IRL mention Antifa,
much less belong to such an organization. And Utah seems an unlikely
place to have Antifa cells.
But Howard from Big Bang Theory reminds us you don’t need to
experience something to know you want it:

Maybe you mean nihilism and not literally Antifa. There seems to be a
bumper crop of disaffected nihilists these days. Not sure that fits
neatly into a left/right political narrative. More like there will
always be people who think the world has screwed them over and want to
burn the whole thing down.

Odd that the majority of the people in my sphere of influence that are
espousing the goodness of antifa are all uniformly: uneducated, pot
smoking, un churched, and in many cases with minor criminal records,
but all of them are as poor as dirt it seems. Poverty is what drove
the Russian revolution. Perhaps that is the driver here.
