ANTIFA: Breaking it down

I have read numerous articles and letters about busloads of Antifa coming to town. Anti means against, doesn’t it? And the “fa” means Facism, doesn’t it? Therefore, “Antifa” is supposedly against Facism, am I not again right? Facism is defined as “an authoritarian and nationalistic right-wing system of government and social organization.” One synonym is Nazism. So, if Antifa is really fighting against a form of Nazism, why are they the “bad guys?” Doesn’t that mean that all these gun-packing Republicans parading around town are “pro-fa”?
