I've remember news and reporting about neo-Nazis (adjective) but not a lot of "the Neo-Nazi international terrorist organization..." (singular noun).

Seems like an ideology, not an organization.

If you look at the Treasury wording here: "so-called antifascist groups (“Antifa”)" they do this weird thing where they refer to groups, plural, but give it a singular noun as if it's one big global thing.

And that seems very intentionally misleading compared to, say, "self-described Antifa groups" or such.

It all seems consistent with right-wing/American-evangelical victimization propaganda techniques going back to talk radio in the 80s.
