Antifa doesn't beat up innocent people, it does society a service by beating up fascists.
It's in the name, antifascists. They rose from the fascism of the 20th century and have a proud history of fighting the original Nazis.
God bless them for carrying on the good fight!

Not if you label me as fascist, if I were to fit the definition of fascist.
Umberto Ecos Ur-Fascism might be worth a read.
Fascism isn't just "things I don't like". It's specific behavioral patterns that lead to the worst crimes in modern history and that must be stomped out at any cost. Words have meanings.
> Words have meanings
Not to Fascists.
> Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

I'll leave it to you to conclude if it's worth giving this mamba good faith replies.
