Antifa means Anti Fascist.

Yup and the swastika meant the sun and enlightenment by ancient Egyptian terms.
Communism means everyone gets everything equally as a community, albeit the overlords never quite see it that way.
Anti-fascist, is interesting. Because defining fascist is hard to do, depending on where you stand, but it will always be the latter of what you claim yourself to be.

The best definition I’ve ever heard was Paxton in 2004:
"Fascism may be defined as a form of political behaviour marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victim hood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants, working in uneasy but effective collaboration with traditional elites, abandons democratic liberties and pursues with redemptive violence and without ethical or legal restraints goals of internal cleansing and external expansion".
I like this defintion, it's flexible, and doesn't tie you to simply looking at historical regimes and saying, "well if modern regime X isn't like Germany or Italy, then they aren't really fascists"
Some countries that have typically taken to have been fascist at some point in their history are Germany, Italy, Japan, Austria, Hungary, Croatia, Portugal, it be good to compare and contrast those historical cases with the above definition. Of course, it's also important to recognise that there can be proto-fascists, neo-fascists, far-right, and these aren't all the same, but might share some or many common features.“

The liberal lefts American version is more simply defined as “anyone who doesn’t believe what I believe.”
